POSTAL 2: The Unhinged Masterpiece of Chaos!
Game Title: POSTAL 2
Developer/Publisher: Running With Scissors
Release Date: April 14, 2003
Platforms: PC, Linux, macOS
Genre: First-Person Shooter / Sandbox / Dark Comedy
[hr][/hr]
Introduction – A Furry’s Foray Into Absolute Madness
Greetings, fellow gamers! I am Kiba Snowpaw, your frosty reviewer hailing from the eternal tundras of HowlStrom. With over 5,000 games under my fur-covered belt, it takes a lot to impress me, but POSTAL 2 hit like a rogue blizzard! This game is raw, offensive, and unfiltered—everything modern games are often too afraid to be. Sure, it’s controversial, but beneath its chaotic exterior lies a sandbox brimming with creativity, dark humor, and surprisingly sharp satire.
[hr][/hr]
Basic Plot Summary – Errands, Chaos, and Mayhem
You play as The POSTAL Dude, a luckless everyman who embarks on a weeklong series of mundane errands like buying milk, returning a library book, and collecting Gary Coleman’s autograph. What could go wrong? Well, literally everything. The town of Paradise is packed with caricatured NPCs—rednecks, religious fanatics, corrupt cops, and protestors—all waiting to push your patience to its limit. Whether you keep things “peaceful” or spiral into fiery chaos is entirely up to you.
The story is simple but brilliant. It gives players full control to engage in violence—or not—and still face hilarious consequences either way. POSTAL 2 is less about narrative arcs and more about letting players craft their own ridiculous adventures.
[hr][/hr]
Originality and Studio Background – Chaos Reimagined
Developed by Running With Scissors, POSTAL 2 is a stark evolution from its predecessor, POSTAL (1997). While the original game was a top-down shooter, POSTAL 2 redefined the franchise by introducing an open-world FPS format. RWS gained notoriety for their rebellious approach to game development, unafraid to mock society, politics, or even themselves.
Compared to similar games like GTA: Vice City, POSTAL 2 is less polished but far more experimental, encouraging pure anarchy and boundary-pushing gameplay. It wasn’t just a game—it was a statement.
[hr][/hr]
Gameplay Mechanics – Chaos Unleashed
Core Mechanics: POSTAL 2 offers an open-world structure where you complete daily objectives in whatever way you see fit. Want to calmly wait in line at the store? Cool. Prefer to set the place on fire and pee on the cashier? Go for it! The choice between pacifism and chaos isn’t just cosmetic—it actively changes your experience.
Weapons: The arsenal is as creative as it is insane. From shovels and gas cans to rocket launchers and scissors, every weapon invites experimentation. Let’s not forget the infamous cat silencer—a darkly comedic tool that’s both hilarious and grotesque.
AI and Interactivity: The NPC AI is unpredictable and adds to the absurdity. Civilians might run, fight back, or escalate the chaos. Their reactions feel dynamic, adding replay value to encounters.
Sandbox Freedom: This game thrives on emergent gameplay. Burn down a protest, sic a pack of attack dogs on cultists, or just walk your dog through the carnage—whatever fits your twisted sense of fun.
[hr][/hr]
Visuals and Audio – A Product of Its Time
Graphics: Let’s be real—POSTAL 2 looks dated. Its 2003 Unreal Engine visuals can’t compete with modern standards. That said, its gritty textures and crude animations fit the chaotic tone perfectly. The exaggerated character models add to the satirical vibe.
Sound Design: The voice acting, while intentionally over-the-top, complements the game’s comedic undertone. NPCs spout ridiculous one-liners, and The Dude’s dry sarcasm steals the show. Sound effects are punchy, and the soundtrack, while minimal, gets the job done.
[hr][/hr]
Impact and Legacy – Gaming’s Greatest Satire
POSTAL 2 is one of the most controversial games ever made, banned in several countries for its unapologetic content. Yet, its lasting impact is undeniable. It became a cult classic for its refusal to compromise, standing as a symbol of creative freedom in gaming.
Compared to sanitized modern titles, POSTAL 2 feels like a breath of fresh (if toxic) air. Games like South Park: The Stick of Truth or Saints Row borrow its dark humor but often feel constrained by mainstream sensibilities.
[hr][/hr]
Praise and Critique – Unleashing the Ice Wolf’s Howl
What I Loved:
- Absolute freedom to play your way.
- Hilarious, no-holds-barred dark humor.
- Creative weaponry that’s equal parts shocking and fun.
- A sandbox of absurdity with countless possibilities.
What Could Be Better:
- Outdated graphics and clunky animations.
- A lack of polish in AI behavior and mechanics.
[*] Some jokes and mechanics haven’t aged well.
[hr][/hr]
Personal Reflection – Howling Through the Mayhem
POSTAL 2 brought out my inner chaos-loving wolf. It’s not just a game—it’s a cathartic playground where you can laugh, scream, and gasp at the absurdity of it all. While its lack of polish and aging visuals might deter some, it stands as a testament to gaming as an unfiltered art form.
[hr][/hr]
Conclusion – Paradise Found in Chaos
If you’re tired of sanitized, focus-group-tested games, POSTAL 2 is a blizzard of unfiltered fun. It’s crass, offensive, and utterly unique. For those brave enough to dive in, it’s an unforgettable ride through the madness of Paradise. Just be warned—this isn’t for the faint of heart or easily offended.
Verdict: 9/10 – A beautifully twisted masterpiece that dares to be different. 🐺🔥

“Dark humor, chaos, and a lot of fun.”
Postal 2 is as outrageous and over-the-top as they come. The game’s open-world design lets you do just about anything, from completing bizarre tasks to causing absolute mayhem. The dark humor and satire are not for everyone, but if you enjoy pushing boundaries and embracing the chaos, it’s a wild ride.
It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely memorable and full of unexpected moments.
8/10 – Not for the faint of heart, but a blast if you’re into dark humor.
This is Postal 2, if you're here you know what this game is. If not, expect uncensored humor, gore, breats, and piss.
This game is pretty good though
Absolute blast of a game. The humor hasn't aged a day in it's life. The gross humor is executed perfectly. The story itself is interesting and leads to more funny moments. I think this is the epitome of a perfect meme game.
5/5, Perfect Game
god this game is violent and gorey but jesus it’s fun.
the story is fleshed out and well done too.
unfortunately it’s sequel doesn’t hold up as well, especially since it was made in an engine that falls apart when you alt + tab.
The fact that i can piss,kill,cut off peoples heads,see peoples booty cheeks is actually terrifying but also funny
After over 10 hours of gameplay, i beat the whole game. I can tell that i hate activists from now.
This is a good relaxation game. There is a lot of thrash and black humor in the game! There are a lot of different weapons and other shit waiting for you in the game to fulfill your fantasies, the graphics are old, but not repulsive, as for me an uninteresting plot, an open world, complete freedom of action and good sounds. Playing this game, you will have a lot of fun, but again, if you do not like games with a lot of meat and violence, then you are not here. The game is generally 8/10 due to (as for me) an uninteresting plot and an extremely meager set of soundtracks (there are only a couple of them). ... Could you sign my petition?
this game is incredible it like "fuck you" the video game the humour is top noch and the absolute Love that rws fells for this game is amazing 10/10
very gory game and fun to play. take a piss while kicking some lady's butt and don't tell me this is not fun.
This game is HILARIOUS, the humor and the creativity in this game are unmatched till this day.
Still the best game in series.
Just enough amount of humor and cartoony violence to give some casual laughs.
Nothing extraordinary as a shooter, but it includes some mechanics to have fun in the town.
It feels like I've enjoyed this game more as an adult than I did as a teenager.
The Taliban in the sewers is such a gem of a satirical take.
10/10, would recommend.
Really good. My only complaint is that is crashed all the time.
Fun story, great world building, runs smoothly, I love Postal Dude, I want to play this game throughly again
I launched a rocket at an elephant and it survived and killed me
10/10
A game that stands the test of time.
It's humor is so bad it's good.
And gameplay so messed up, it functions.
Lightning in a bottle. right here.
postal 2 is basically "what if everything went completely off the rails." you just wanted to buy some milk, and now you're burning bystanders and fighting religious fanatics. graphics? who cares, it's 2003, you're not here for that. this game lets you kick someone, pee on them, set them on fire, all while wearing a latex suit. yes, you can do literally ANYTHING. a game that breaks every boundary and tests how far you'll go for a laugh. don't play it if you get offended easily. seriously.
Games are bad, they make you mad!Games are bad, they make you mad!

amazing game great humor and the absolute best dev team i love RWS so much
" I REGRET NOTHING "
And remember there is no such thing as Postal III
*Commits suicide... the Taliban way*
Replaying this again..after watching this Postal movie with Zack ward made by uwe boll which is already hilarious by it self..
And this game achievement called " I'm not even supposed to be here today! " which is refers us to the Kevin Smith movie Clerks is Legendary!! It was added to the game 13 years after release.. as kinda Easter egg
Running with Scissors studio legendary just for this alone!!!
Game is Certified Classic
I thought this game would be funny for the memes but it's both unfunny, and really dated.
The jokes are entirely stereotypes or political issues from the late 90s to 2000s, and they dont even tell jokes. They just make the characters extremely annoying parodies of something, and the Postal Guy says an unfunny quip like "Fuck you, you're a hippie." Otherwise, the game just uses offensive stereotypes as targets for the player to kill because"they deserve to die" for whatever dumb ideology that have.
The game wasn't that much fun as a sandbox either, feeling like the concept has only been done better and funnier in games like GTA.
The actual gameplay was easy with moments of difficulty spikes due to the jank of old controls. It might have played better with a PS2 controller, but it felt clunky.
Occasional funny moments were only caused by ragdolls or minor glitches. The voice of the Postal Guy was pretty funny still, the only thing I actually enjoyed. But nothing like I hoped, as most of the time he didn't actual have any good lines.
Definitely a game I don't think is worth trying to replay in the modern day.
The devs, aka Running With Scissors are amazing people, they truly care about their fans, and the games they make, which shows in Postal 2 and their more recent projects.
been playing this game since I was way too young to be playing it, on a computer way too underpowered to handle. This game is legendary, and I doubt anything will knock it down from its legendary status, as it existed at a perfect time, in an unapologetic fashion, and it's all the better for it.
Do I regret ruining my developing brain by playing hyper violent games? ha, don't be silly...
I REGRET NOTHING!
One of my most favourite games ever. Very funny game. This is a type of game you wouldn't seen being released these days. Quite similar to gta and the best thing about this is that any laptop could probably run this. 10/10 highly recommend if you are into dark humor.
an absolutely bonkers game that needs no introduction. both wildly offensive and stupid fun to play. i never thought that i would play a game where setting a marching band on fire is encouraged but here i am. i love this stupid game
lots of gore and intentionally offensive content. dont play it if you have a strong stomach for that sort of thing. if you can take it i highly recommend it.
you can get Christmas trees in July
you can flip off anything
every day you make a new enemy
every task results in something like a police raid
and yet you're just a (POSTAL) dude trying to run errands
10/10
probably my fav game of old time, actually found postal 1 on dvd in my dads house which was hilarious, ig it runs in the family.
i think postal 2 is gonnna win becuase the amazing charter development on postal dude and how the story is always keeping you on the edge of your seat
Postal 2 is like that weird uncle who shows up at family gatherings, says the most inappropriate things, but somehow you can't look away. It's a chaotic, unapologetic rollercoaster of absurdity. The graphics are stuck in 2003, the story makes zero sense, and the missions are a mix of running errands and... well, 'expressing your frustrations' in extremely creative ways. If you ever wanted to pet a dog, get into a shootout, and take a dump all in the same 10-minute session, Postal 2 has you covered. Would not recommend for the faint of heart or those who value social decency, oh and children too, definitely don't let your children play this.
I... have no idea what to say. I enjoyed almost everything about this game, yet I am unable to properly comment. This game is baffling, but brilliant. Not meant for the faint of heart, but hilarious in how over-the-top crude the humor is. I like it.
A game for the ultimate intellectuals, capable of realizing their own level of development so profoundly that they end up plummeting in their own eyes :)
Great game, loved the ending (Waco reference) the gameplay is also fun
If you're here then you know what game this is. The Dude is just as evil as you want him to be - ant that's the fun part. Game itself is a collection of late 90's to early 2000's gags and subjects that you shouldn't joke about. But RWS do joke from those, and it's hillarious. Today a game with this type of content would never even start to develop, because it offends everything and everyone. I'm lucky enough to live through most of the things game jokes from, and I find all of these as a funny way to release the pressure. It's a joke, comedy - nothong should be taken personally. As a game it's a typical early 2000's game, it's made with archaic technology as for todays standards. But it's fun, pure fun - super duper wide range of enemy, weapons, gags, adventures, places to be and stories to be heard. Easy 9/10, would buy again!
Creative game 5/5. Recommended for people who like pissing on people and sticking a shotgun into a cats anal while shooting Bin Ladens.
The best game to pissing. In this game you can:
Piss on toilet
Piss on dog
Piss on cat
Piss on man
Piss on woman
Piss on grass
Piss on fire
Piss on zombies
Piss on nuclear bomb
Piss on everything
10/10 pissing
I first heard of this game when I was a kid, and I thought this game was awesome! Now that I'm a adult with money, I can now play it and holy fuck this game is awesome!
I love video games and hate how dull, boring, and woke videos games now are. How new games are trying very hard to not be offensive. I hate how no one does these kind of rude cruel offensive joke anymore! I know there jokes and I love them for how rude and funny they are.
And to be honest the feeling of just being told to cut lose and forget about being a kind person and being nice to the npcs are thrown out the window! Gta used to feel like this, but then they listens to the cry babys that would want to get this game banned!
I love that this is a game, I love that the makers just decided to say "Fuck it" and throw all logic and moral anything out the window and just made a game for those who don't give a shit about feelings or how this game is offensive to everyone and everything!
My experience:
>pee on a bull dog
>escape the dog and grab a shovel
>make people sign my petition
>behead the people who refused
>cops chase me
>run home to my safety and boot up postal 2
Very old game, but still great physics. Simple old graphics but nicely used to add to silliness of the game.
Made before PC culture, so the jokes are raw, unfiltered and uncensored.
Played it first many years ago, and replayed many times since then. Great fun!
Really fun gameplay and the jokes make it even better, it's super unhinged and old but it's still great.
in a world that cares too much about feelings nowadays, it feels like a breath of fresh air to see a game that simply doesn't give a crap
The trailers on this page are terrible. It's not some stupid Hatred shooter where you just murder people. I mean it is, but tonally its more like an episode of South Park. It takes the stupid early 2000s edge, and mixes it with Gen X malaise to make a stupid immersive sim where you smoke crack and piss on people.
If you're here for a shooter, its kind of mid, but if you want a stupid comedy game its pretty funny.
Yes yes yes, bought it for 2 friends, and pissed on cops, hit somebody whit a shovel done 360 while pissing at them and set them on fire. 11/10.
It's clunky and old. It's pointlessly provocative. It's comically edgy. It's incredibly tedious. It's programmed like dogass. It's one of the most fun and memorable PC games ever made.
I know that a lot of people say that the humor of this game has not aged well and is extremely offensive, but I love it, to me this game is a reminder to the good old days when game developers wasn't forced to censor their content to fit in with society, to me this game is like therapy were I can just be free to go postal and do whatever I want with no regrets, overall I rate this game 10/10.
i love everything about this game this game is the best game
i sure do love doing avarage chores with no blood shed at all! great game for the family.
I don’t like hurting people so it felt nice to play a game that really rewards a pacifism approach.
However, tone wise it’s aged terribly and just lends itself to overly edgy humour that doesn’t really work anymore.
I’m still giving it a positive review because it still has a clear vision of what it is, a decent combat system, and a great sandbox.
There is something beyond special about this game. Completing paradise lost was insane and I can't believe only around 3% of people that own the game have beaten it. The multiple endings depending on what choice you make depending on pacifist, just run outta town, or defeat the faction leaders was beyond a nice touch.
The dude and champ can get stuck behind on one of the last cutscenes with alternate dude which kinda sucks but other than that 10/10
Base postal was always perfect to me and paradise lost just made it better. The new weapons and new food items are awesome. Also the enhanced game mode is some of the most fun I've had in a looooooong time special shoutout to Cursed Gary Coleman Autograph.
Thank you Running With Scissors for pushing the boundaries of what a violent and at the same time comedic game can be you guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
