The WhatsNext verdict
If you want a dark, psychologically disturbing shooter built around unrestricted 1990s violence, Postal delivers a distinctive mood and visual identity. Skip it if repetitive solo carnage or dated aiming quickly wears you down.
What it does best
A grim, paranoid atmosphere that feels genuinely unsettling
A distinctive watercolor nightmare look
Unrestrained, over-the-top destructive violence
What might put you off
Graphic violence and homicidal subject matter
Simple, repetitive gameplay and dated controls
The setup
What you are walking into
Welcome to Paradise… Arizona. They’re out to get you. Or are they? It doesn’t matter. You don’t have time to think, only time to kill. Blast, maim and fire-bomb your way through 17 unsuspecting locales, from a small town to a heavily guarded military complex. Don’t get too crazy – this killing spree is anything but senseless. Out here, strategy is key and the locals are packin’ - so take advantage of the third-person "premeditated" perspective that lets you see exactly who's cold and who's still able to pull a trigger.
