Is the plot important? Not really, the Dude’s trailer breaks down and he has to work jobs to get it working again. The gameplay follows suit, but while 2 had the dude go on a series of mundane tasks which were constantly interrupted by inane events, Postal 4 just directly sends you to go do inane (and honestly not very entertaining) tasks. It feels like a retread of several Postal jokes, just slightly modernized and generally tiptoeing around some of the more complicated issues. Unfortunately, in an era where everyone and their grandmothers seem to be back on the edginess “because you can’t have fun anymore”, Postal 4’s humour rarely lands. Is Postal 4 going back to edginess? You bet your ass. Postal 2 changed everything while going all-in on comedy and edgy humour.
#POSTAL 4 NO REGERTS REVIEW SERIAL#
A mix of deranged serial killing and slight comedy, in a package that was still slightly entertaining to play.
In 1997, you definitely did not want to attract any more attention to violent games, the media were already on the job. When Postal first made its way unto PC, it felt like the game it was not safe to talk about. Is four back to a good edgy time? Let’s find out in our Postal 4 review. He’s going back to his classic Postal 2 roots, trying to take away the horrendous taste in everyone’s mouth that was Postal 3. Imagine something like “the Metroid gal” or “the Zelda dude”, but that’s how it is: the Postal dude is back. Sometimes, it feels like you don’t really need to name a character.
