POSTAL 4: No Regerts

Bought this game on early access in 2019, because for some reasons I loved Postal 2 somewhere in the past (don't judge me). Seems like I had some hopes for what could have been the true spiritual successor to this weird but unique game; I mean, the devs really seemed to want to do that.
How naive I was.
We're in 2025 and this game is a pure disaster. It's unplayable. Everything is bad, the gameplay, AI, story, missions, graphics, performances... And the humor too. Yes Postal 2 had "bad humor", but "bad" like in "don't take that seriously, it's absurd and stupid". Here it's just cringe.
But the main issue is that after all this years it has become clear that RWS has absolutely no idea of how to make a game. They clearly have no sense of priority, and don't want to even try to make a decent game. Sometimes we should know where to stop a massacre.
Okay, a few cutscenes are fun if you manage to play more than 5 minutes, but don't waste your time.
I heavily "regert" giving this a chance...

lots of bugs crashed sometimes on me but honestly, it was still funny to have it crash. I had a lot of fun on it, it on the same grounds as postal 2 with some good gags, jokes, shiggles, and gits. Some cutscenes feel unresolved tho but honestly storytelling isn't usually the main priority about some Dude who lost his trailer home. Also some geometry of this games is weird I found myself constantly crashing on small polygons and flipping into outerspace (fuck those dumbass ufos) anyways besides the bugs, unresolved cutscenes it's still a fun game, espiacially for messing around for shiggles and giggles.

Keeps crashing after certain cutscenes after you completed a mission, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene,you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene,you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene, you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene,you restart and the game is softlocked so then you have to do the mission again but then it crashes after the cutscene

The other day I ate an amazing burger, I mean it was soooo good. The beef was grilled wth just a touch of char, with a toasted bun. And the toppings! don't get me started fresh ripe tomatoe slices, relish, mayo, a touch of ranch, a pile of fried onions. man I am sure I forgot something like the mushrooms, or the cheese curds. I gotta go get a burger.

RWS still doesnt understand how to make an enjoyable game, too busy smoking crack instead of making a worthwile complete game

idk what to think the game is like goat simulator plus but atleast that game had good mechanics here is like they wanted a fun-bad game but it really doesnt work

playing on a 1050 is great. it took me a while but i finally beat monday!

had high hopes, just postal 2 with better graphics and more bugs, and you're homeless.

I don't know why I bought it, I started playing it and I got lost.

What do I need to do exactly? No idea.

FPS is all over the place, the game is running like absolute crap. It's not just the FPS is low, it's above 200, but it's a stuttery mess.

Uninstalling.

I bought this way back in 2019 and it honestly seems worse than it was before, I stopped playing the new updates around 2023 and just came back to it now that it's out of early access. The game crashes considerably more than it used to and just generally plays worse even on the lowest graphics settings, which I didn't have to change before. I loved postal 2 and could put up with the jank but this is just unplayable. I used to enjoy playing this a lot (600+ hours of playtime) but now I can't even complete an objective without it crashing multiple times. I just want to emphasize again that this game was somehow more fun (and playable) while it was still in early access, what went wrong?

I hate to give this game a negative rating because it can be fun in short bursts but it seriously needs work if you haven't bought the game yet I would recommended waiting until rws releases more optimization and bug patches
but even if the game does get that I have some other issues with the game
- almost every building in game is empty
- getting to each errand takes FOREVER even with a scooter like in postal 2 it would take me at most two minutes to get to the next mission but in postal 4 it can take me up to five and that's not even including the time I take to explore the map and find money and weapons and all the side missions are either very tedious or the most simple task ever
- killing npcs gets boring quickly
- a TON of the missions are just slogs to get through (I also personally prefer the more mundane style of errands from postal 2 over the more comical ones from postal 4)
and personally I think the games humor feels very watered down like it feels like the game wants to be offensive but at same time its scared to actually offended anyone so instead it makes the same few jokes that almost every other dark comedy product has ever made constantly.
I do have to commended rws for still updating this game since launch and adding new content to the game but with the state its in now I cannot recommend Postal 4 hopefully I can come back to this game after a while and have way more positive thoughts on it but I'll just have to wait for now.

Postal 4 is a lot like Postal 2: It's a mess, but it's a charming and fun mess, and getting better all the time because RWS gives a f*** about their games and their players, unlike the major publishers out there. Even the jank is enjoyable, most of the time. Hop in, have some fun, regret nothing.

It's a really fun when there's no bugs in it but damnn it makes my pc burn in fire, anyway 10/10

its gotten much better since launch, even more so since the last day was finally added. The Humor is Crude, some of the weapons are fun to use but many of these weapons were more fun to use in Postal 2, especially in the Enhanced mode. i get why they nerfed some things in Enhanced mode, otherwise the performance would dip

Has some performance issues, id recommend turning reflections off. every time you go into a bathroom it turns on the mirror object to show whats in front of it pointed at the dude (even if its not rendering in frame). door opens, boom, frame rate dip

overall its pretty good. its nowhere near where postal 2 is, but its a decent affair and the Co-Op update will eventually be out of public beta in the next few weeks or so.

Overall I would say not as good as Postal 2 but still very solid. Main issues are glitches, lag, random crashes and the difficulty. The game's difficulty tends to be a rollercoaster, a lot of bosses and sections in general can be cheesed because killing someone or a boss losing health will be remembered. But on the other extreme, there are bosses and sections which restore the health of everything but unlike in Postal 2, you don't get ammo back forcing you to load old saves.

If you're mainly in it for the story (like I was) or you just want to do more dumb things to npcs like you did in Postal 2 than this game is worth purchasing but if you liked the challenge of the Postal 2 DLC then you should wait for the patch coming soon which attempts to make the difficulty more consistent with Postal 2

Postal 2 was a legendary game for its time, but this game is a overall embarrassment and failure, devs have lost their touch 20 years later. They lost the balls making offensive jokes. Postal 4 is still janky its broken the graphics and visuals look like shit, the map looks like shit, the way the buildings were placed since early access and the whole environment look completly out of place everything sticks out nothing makes sense. Speaking of early access this game was a red flag all along they abused the early access and no real improvments were made nor have they listend to legit good feedback. The game is now out of early access like 2 years ago and its still janky its buggy its unfinished, and they waste all their time and money to work on Co-op and other trash rather then fixing this game. Everything for almost 40 euros.

This game is bad in every aspect and does not even come close what they managed 20 years ago with Postal 2, really a shame

Played for almost two hours and had zero technical issues. Guess I'm lucky but it might not work as well for you. Aside from that, it's postal at it's best. Love it.

finger, piss, shotgun combo cant be beat

game sucks, cant even do half the shit because the keybinds dont work or arent listed, graphics are shit, movement is shit, npc behaviour is shit, performs like shit even on my 4080 super, shity gunplay, shitty ui and is overall absolutely fucking shit.

I love rws but come on, this is a disgrace and they have to admit it. this is completely unacceptable especially for a game that costs an entire 40 fucking euros.
Come on rws, youve made good games before that i love, postal, postal redux, postal 2, but this is nothing compared to them . Safe to say ill stick with the classics.

It's too much to pay for such a buggy game, but if you do Russian voice acting like in Postal 2, I'll buy it

I really wanted to play it but sadly it kept crashing when it barely loaded the game, I don't know if my computer is bad or if the game is badly optimized :/
I love postal and it just hurts me that I can't play this one T_T

I already knew this Game won't be on the same Level as Postal 2, considering P2 still has such a long Update Cycle.

Issue is that this Game is still Stuttering like hell for me, even after Upgrading.
Bunch of unfinished and half Hearted Points and Assets in the Game, including lots of really Weird Cutscenes and moments Post Mission which leave you wondering "Have they even cared?"

Jokes are just, meh. Sure "Get with the Times" and all that, but the Edginess and Absurdity Postal had to offer was just part of the Charme of the Series. It's missing here.

things the game needs or things that need to be changed, soldiers need a proper model, there needs to be drivable cars for more fun and faster travel depending on the car but instead we got this weird buggy and mobility scooter, there should be swat model instead of just a cop with armor, there needs to be a use for the police cars, a proper bank heist would be good, and for the second time we need drivable cars, and we need the napalm launcher and the mp5 would be good aswell, and it sucks when cops wuss out sometimes in the middle of combat Even soldiers, the flare gun needs aiming, sniper needs dual wielding, we need a flamethrower, and for the third time we need Drivable Cars.

its like a shitty version of postal 2 but with slighty better graphics also pretty sure rws forget about this game because its almost 3 years old and still buggy

Postal 4 lacks the edgy humor that Postal 2 had. Even Postal 3 was edgier and funnier than this game. It's like RWS had the script writers for the newest Saints Row game. It's actually pathetic how soulless and safe Postal 4 is.

This game also runs like total dog sh!t, massive frame drops for no reason and the graphics are laughably worse than Postal 2 in my opinion. And if you don't think so, then you can't argue that this game looks like it should be running on Playstation 3. SO WHY DOES THIS GAME SUFFER FROM FPS DROPS?? Like wtf were you smoking when making this sh!t, RWS? It actually runs worse than Postal 3 LMAO!!!! Please tell me you guys still know how to develop a fvcking game.

Oh and your BS postal rampages and fetching paintings and dolls is a boring and lazy way to pad playtime for people who want to do a completionist runs.

Main story line is boring and not fun or edgy which I already said so honestly that's all I got to say about this mess of a "game" which I don't think it even qualifys as given how bad it is.

I am actually having to drink massive amounts of tequila just to get through this slog of a playthrough. After I get 100% achievements I'm going to never play this sh!t game again.

Congrats, RWS! You guys made a game just as bad if not worse than Postal 3!! GGWP!

its like postal 2 but slightly better and slightly worse

While this game has the POSTAL comedic charm and current cultural references unfortunately the game itself has many bugs and will crash at random. Its unfortunate but the Comedy and Gags of the game do not out-weigh the annoyance of having to redo parts of the game several times due to bugs. It also has poor optimization and will beginning to have frame rate issues almost immediately while playing and continues throughout. I really wanted to give this game a positive review because I love the comedy and crudeness of POSTAL, but this game is too buggy to be enjoyable.

You would certainly hope so, but this version of the game is way better than the early access version, the town of Edensin feels way more alive and lived-in and generally less Jank than before. I believe there is at least one more update coming that will add co-op among other things that will hopefully iron out the remaining gameplay foibles.

Also, I beat this game my first time as a pacifist, aside from the Dam it wasn't too bad.

While it was nice to see Postal with better graphics, there wasn't much else better than Postal 2. It seems almost more restrictive with how they set it up compared to the other. Bugs still prevalent in the game and items go missing often. Also, Zach seemed like he just voiced everything in his home lol.

Game struggles to run but you can aim and run.
11/10

On lowest possible settings, still struggles to keep frames on a decent machine. Refunded, shame hope it gets an update one day to make it playable on more hardware.

Love the Postal franchise, but yall should really wait on buying this game. It can be fun, but it runs like dog shit. Buy Postal Brain Damage instead

Its very 50/50 I love the game series (1,2,BD and 4) ALOT of bugs and fps issuses but I feel that it will get better in do time

Been playing this on-and-off for a few years now and while the game itself can be pretty fun, it feels like there's some new bug or issue every time I boot it up. Not fun bugs like "Haha this NPC behaved in a funny way and got stuck", but progression breaking or performance-related issues.

I've had items vanish from my inventory, mission objectives not work, collectable numbers not track correctly, broken UI elements... For instance I was in the prison segment and my entire menu system didn't work which could usually be solved by a quick save/load. I did so, but then all the NPCs on the map vanished, all the doors were open, and all the mission objectives didn't work anymore. I was just trapped on an empty map with no way of leaving or finishing the mission.

The game has a lot of potential to be fun, but it somehow consistently performs worse than Postal 2. I'm all for fun jank like in Postal 2, but Postal 4 is just flat-out broken at times.

Not a bad game, reminds me of Postal 2 for sure. Game is very buggy and glichy. Such as stuck at map menu, some missions will not let you progress. Even though you did the objectives correctly. And weapons stuck in hands of character. Making you unable to toggle or conceal. Hopefully the devs can get it all figured out or i would consider buying this again.

unfunny, uninspired buggy mess. Unfortunately Postal has fallen from grace.
Very stiff, very clunky and very poorly optimized. Do not waste your time, money or sanity on this game. Just Play postal 2 or postal 1.

The name of the game implies that you will have no regrets. However, I regret buying this game. Play Postal 2 instead

The game is extremely buggy. I have played and completed postal 2 with great enjoyment. However this game has A LOT that's lacking. Here are some problems that I have seen:
1- Extremely buggy. In some missions even if you complete the mission, the game will not realize that you have done it all and try to give the same tasks to you.
2- About bugs again but more crucial: At some point in the kunny island, it was impossible to finish the mission - I have tried for hours cuz I had no health items and you start with same health and the ammo you spent doesnt come back. However here is the problem: I have shut down all the power except for the DJ's cabin. I bribed the DJ, she takes the money and doesnt do anything. There is also no visible powerbox to turn off too. So this mission was impossible and ended my experience of Postal 4.
3- Worst optimization I have seen in years: I have played games that require an above-average system on my PC and they all work fine but this game just sucks. It's so bad I had to play in 1376x768 pixels. Had to downgrade the graphics and stuff too but doesnt work fine.
4- Lazy mission patterns: The missions are just not exciting or funny at all, feels like a rip off version of Postal 2.

In the end, if I could refund this game, I definitely would. I played and tolerated just for the sake of the OG game but this one is just badly made. Sorry. 3/10

The only satire thing about this game is the description calling it comedic

Very few regerts will be had playing the only numbered sequel to Postal 2.

Postal 4 is not as horrible as the critics claim it to be, yet also not as amazing as some people try to defend it as being. I think with as much care as they put into postal 2, this game could eventually be a solid 9/10, its just kinda at a 7 right now, the point of postal 4 is to be buggy, however restarting missions because of unity crashes is only super funny the first three times it happens. The gameplay and story are amazing, just needs a bit of touching up.

This game just sucks, plain and simple. RWS captured lightning in a bottle with P2 and have been trying to recapture it since to no avail. The visuals here are garish and cluttered, the writing and cutscenes are passable at best, the daily tasks are mind-numbingly boring, the bugs are too numerous to count, and it feels like nobody sat down and playtested this mess. All I see is copy-and-pasted glossy and soulless Unreal Engine 4 assets. The biggest crime of all however, is the machete. Look how they massacred my boy. In P2 the machete was a dopamine printer. You'd enter a room full of NPCs and you'd leave with a pile of viscera in a matter of seconds. Now it's a faint shadow of its former self, as dismemberment has been pushed aside in favor of floppy UE4 ragdolls. We do live in a different era than 2003, but I sorely miss the humor of the devs at the time. It's way too on the nose nowadays and will age very poorly compared to the timeless gags of P2. Slingshotting Mexicans across the border is cool and all, but that's nothing compared to infiltrating Tora Bora and getting your hands on a WMD.

I reallllly wanted to like this, I had so much fun in Postal 2, but honestly this game needs a lotta work and revising of the main formula from missions. I feel making it as Postal 2 was (the factions you are now hostile with progressively growing in number) would help this feel a lot better. Aside from the base game bein mostly underwhelming, I can't even finish tuesday because the graffiti mission has me softlocked each time I run it.

DO NOT BUY. I had to use an extra 3 hours of my time just because of the autosaving/zoning into limbo issue. In addtion, automatic things do not trigger, meaning I have to keep reloading the game and when I do, I am in a totally different place where I´m supposed to be, my inventory/skins etc etc are gone and what not. I knew the game was going to be buggy, but this is just crazy.

I don't get why this game loses when compared with Postal 2, performance is bad even after all this time after release, the A.I. and interactions don't hold a candle to the ones from Postal 2 and the humor looks to be toned down a bit because "muh wider audience", who is this game for exactly?

HUGE Postal 2 fan, but this game just simply has none of the charm to it.
Performance is pretty awful, the map is inexcusably ugly for a modern game. All the characters/NPC's look like they've been drag/dropped from an asset library. Art style isn't really that consistent.

I've tried multiple times to try and get in to it but I just can't.

Shame because I've always wanted RWS to succeed.

This is absolutely bullshit. Poorly optimized, stressful missions and the map is ridiculously big and lifeless, especially the NPCS walking around aimlessly. I'm a fan of the Postal series, I have all the games (except Postal 3) and I tried everything I could to like this game but at the end of the day, it's just bad. The cutscenes, the story, the weapon animations, the music and the Dude's design are fine, but the rest of the game is... just purely bad.
I regret everything!

Even if this game isn't perfect or as great as POSTAL 2, there is still plenty of fun to be had and this was made with much love and care by RWS as they did with POSTAL 2 and all the other games they made. It ain't perfect, but still fun as any POSTAL games... except 3...

So bad it’s bad.

I’ve played my fair share of janky garbage. Heck, my favorite guilty pleasure is Duke Nukem Forever. It sucks hard, but captured a certain flavor that makes me come back every other year.

Postal 4 on the other hand is like vanilla ice-cream covered in shit sprinkles. Even if you outmaneuver the crap it’s still a bland, tasteless experience that’s not worth the effort. Everything this game does Postal 2 did better twenty years ago!

--- Terrible Open world ---

The devs made the classic mistake of going the “bigger is better” approach and bit off more than they can chew. The map is huge and empty, which many copied assets and so little to do. Traversing the map was a chore and there are too many buildings with nothing worthwhile. The world is so static you can’t even pop balloons or run over signs on your scooter.

NPCs just wander around aimlessly. Rarely do you see them use scooters or do something interesting. Where is the fun stuff like the marching band from Postal 2? It’s all so lifeless und barebones.


--- Terrible Inventory System ---

The inventory is a nightmare to navigate because it hordes every single item you pick up including the many collectibles, which have no purpose outside of selling them at specific vendors. If you’re smarter than me you’ll probably rebind some keys sooner than I did to minimize the tediousness.

Every so often when picking up an item it overwrites the one you had previously selected, so now you have to cycle through so much clutter that the fastest way is to pause instead and select the item you want directly.

This game seriously needs to get rid of those redundant items so I don’t have to scroll through them every time I’m trying to find my healthpipes.


--- Terrible Combat ---

Postal 4 gives you many weapons and too be fair they are well animated – but most of them just lack oomph! NPCs barely react to you, can survive half a dozen pistol shots and melee is downright useless. It takes several swipes with your machete to chomp of limbs, so what’s the point?
Enemies rarely get amputated and usually ragdoll after getting shot and that’s just not satisfying.

When I shoot a NPC in the face with a shotgun I want them to explode like a fckin piñata!

Even running them over with the scooter is not as entertaining as it should be. Nothing has any impact.


--- Terrible Optimization ---

My rig is powerful enough to play the latest Resident Evil and Cyberpunk in stable 60fps on Ultra, but Postal 4 is in a league of its own. It’s so badly optimized I had to turn off most post-processing effects, switch to potato-resolution and most settings went down to either medium and lower.

This game looks like total ass and still my rig was struggling. And this is after years of updates. I shudder to think how bad it was at launch.

Constant glitches, crashes and soft-locks haunted my playthrough.
I managed to trap myself in a closet because the door wouldn’t open, I’d get stuck walking up stairs, textures taking their sweet time loading in, guns shooting continuously after respawn, enemies popping into existence, cutscenes not playing properly, after the mission were the dude get’s turned into a cat it wouldn’t turn me back – so many big and small issues…

The last section in particular deserves special mention for how positively awful it is:
You have to reach the maps exit by using the longest way imaginable and while every single NPC is shooting at you constantly. All you can do is drive, spam the heath-key and hope you don’t die. Adding to the frustration are stupid UFOs that will abduct you causing the game to glitch out or entrap you. I had to savescum my way to the credits.

No wonder this game gives you 5 autosaves. It’s barely functional.

--- Terrible Humor ---

The writers completely missed the point of Postal 2. Most of its humor came from the juxtaposition of the mundanity of life and the absolute insanity that would ensue. You’d patiently wait in line at the bank to cash in your cheque when suddenly robbers shoot up the place. It slowly built up the wackiness.

Postal 4 on the other hand wants to be Mr. Funnypants. It tries so hard to make you laugh and nothing really works. Same with the satire. Postal 2 was dumb and edgy, but it has become a wonderful time capsule of the 2000s and the war on terror.

Now the devs play it so safe it’s not even safe-edgy – it’s just lame.

I don’t know how many of the OG devs were involved in this, but let me remind you that in the very first game you could unalive actual Kindergarteners. It was vile, shocking and ballsy as fck.
You’d think that in these dark times of PC wokeness the devs would go all out and create something magical, but alas with old age their balls must have shriveled away so now all we have left are lame reddit-tier jokes about mobility scooters. A punchline so lame Postal 3 did it first.

Speaking of old age, you remember Bane from The Dark Knight Rises? You know, the movie by Christoper Nolan from over ten ago? Well, you meet a parody of him early in the game. There have been 5 Batman movies since then, but I guess the overused voice gag was too good to pass up.
There’s also a recurring character who’s clearly supposed to be the G-Man from Half-life 2, a game that hasn’t been relevant in two decades. The only thing funny about this is how hilariously dated it is.

The game makes fun of covid, but in the safest way possible. All we get is an unfunny announcement and NPCs wearing facemasks. Is that it? Why not have comical large covid bacteria roam the city infecting people and when you shoot it from afar it explodes making everyone around vomit blood. Or how about giving the player covid-grenades so we can spread the Shanghai Shivers ourselves? At least have NPCs fight over toilet paper or something.

There are no jokes about the Orangeman or Sleepy Joe. The closest I could find was a Trump Halloween mask I couldn’t wear. The devs don’t even have the guts to make fun of the obnoxious woke crowd. Imagine if you could cancel people by pointing your phone at them and they shot themselves on the spot. Now that’s comedy.

A mission set inside an amusement park could have been the perfect opportunity to make fun of Disney and their dominance (and ruination) of western entertainment – but of course nada. The writers couldn’t think of anything clever; so poop jokes it is.

I’m actually insulted by the absolute state of lameness in this comedy game.


--- Terrible Game ---

The graphic designers did a fine job with the posters and vending machines. Cutscenes look good and are nicely animated. And as I mentioned before, the weapon animations are great.

But all that talent is wasted because even if it was properly optimized the game still remains tedious unfunny slop. A shallow imitation of a game from twenty years ago. Playing this was exhausting.

Postal 4 is complete utter waste and I regert paying full price for this.

PS: Oh, and RWS? That running joke about making fun of Postal 3? Yeah, that doesn’t work if your own sequel is arguably worse.

Well it's definitely not anyone like the second game. It's a watered-down version. These devs aren't edgy anymore, and it's clear they just replaced the humor they once had with over repetitious poop jokes. We get it, haha poo poo poo.....
