Back in the 90s, when everything was first becoming "edgy", things like snot, shit, piss, fucking, pessimism, narcissism, depression, and dead baby jokes were stabbing America's puritanical heart and making the conservative media clutch their pearls, it took a VERY special something in order to stand out from all the muck and slime. Doom sent the white protestants running to God for some sort of answer for America's spiraling degeneracy. First grunge and now violence in my video games? What else could come along and further send the youth of America into the toilet? In 1997, Postal sludged its way out of its fetid sewers and, without warning, tracked its muck all over the collective unconsciousness. With every bullet wedging into each muscle fiber, each sinew, each brain wrinkle, the cracks of the psyche begins growing and growing. From little, barely perceptible specks, hardly worth noting into canyon wide gashes with root-like complexity. The POSTAL dude carved his way into the forefront of every teen and young adult's mind. Dude didn't even have that many lines in the original, a couple of off-color comments here and there, his tone of voice, nothing too crazy. What stuck with players, aside from the wanton mass murdering, is the intermissions, the atmosphere, the dingey, dirty, depraved nature of it all. After the rush of the slaughter has subside, the player is then greeted with Throbbing Gristle and Nurse with Wound soundscapes blasting in your ear. Every sour note screeches the Devil's Litany, every drum beat is a funeral blow. It is the soundtrack to the cursed verses of Baudelaire. On the screen is Postal Dude's manic scrawls and scratches. Fervent mad displays of psychosis and desperate pleas of sanity splatter themselves across the computer screen. Distorted screams and hushed voices repeat themselves into infinity, each second of it marches ever so closer to resembling an exorcism. A bedlam of distortion and nightmares. Then just like that, that millisecond of unsustainable madness disappears into dull nothing as Postal Dude racks another shell into his shotgun, each step of his boots onto the asphalt below is damnation in a beat. Unbeknownst to any civilian going about their daily goings-on, Hell has walked into town. The choir sings in .44, the epileptic machine gun are spasmatic rhythms. The crackling of burned flesh and ash white bones are polyphonic. The hollow hymns of the dying damned become the music to which the Earth decays to. Soaring high notes of the gored. Frenetic and traumatized trills of the auto-shotgun ring out into the urban landscape as you mow down cop after cop, swat after swat, man after man, flesh into nothing. Solemn. Hallucinatory. Outrage. Postal Dude plays some mean jams, man. The lads over at Running with Scissors sure know how to treat their baby with care and love. Sure, an argument can be made that a remake is unnecessary when the original is right there, some even fear that the remake will outmode the original, what with all the quality of life changes that a remake usually entails. Lemme tell yah, I played both, I enjoyed both. They should be treated as different games (the grime of the original is a bit better though). What you should expect from this is a good remake of a pretty good isometric shooter about killing your neighbors and fellow man in order to SAVE them from themselves. Simple as. I am a bit disappointed that I got too mad and couldn't get all the achievements, maybe later in the future. Fuck some of those hitboxes when I'm firing off the rockets though

Gameplay-wise, it's a step up from the OG Postal. It's a little easier to play on keyboards/mouse than the OG version. Another thing to point out, Rick Hunter deserves his flowers in this one. Man's redone all his lines for this remake, and he sounds colder, more natural, more menacing than before. Btw, If you ever wanna play another music beside the soundtrack (a solid soundtrack btw), play this game to Slayer's Reign In Blood in its entirety. You'll be surprised how the SMG matches Lombardo's bass drums.

Postal Redux is a really good shooter, everything looks better and its WAY more playable and i think one of the best parts of this game is that the maniac genocide philosophical thing is gone and the story is wayyy better its even more horror with well the postal dude being more like a survivor and everyone around him is mad and sick wich is eh...better i guess? the game is still very creepy and eerie. Outside of that if we are talking about the gameplay its well solid! we got every weapon from the original version with a addition of a revolver that's a cool weapon. Oh yeah and the rampage mode is amazin something simmilar to 2016 DOOM score mode. Have i said anything about the music? ah yeah its incredible fits really well into the game with some nightmerish tracks and some great action music. To simply put it into words you should get this game over the original postal its a better expierence if you played the original before then you will like this version more it rocks 10/10.
