I bought into Postal 4 when it was first in Early Access and it really is more of the same for better and for worse. I bought Paradise Lost as almost a nostalgia trip to go through Postal 2 again and it still slaps for being a strange Unreal 2 ?immersive sim? game, Apocalypse Weekend is still kind of a mess, and Lost Paradise I ended up enjoying more then I thought I would. It's certainly hitting the same drum beatsin terms of humor which can be eye-rolling at times but it hits occasionally. If you want more of that then you'd probably like 4Įdit: I will say this - I am genuinely a fan of the Postal franchise since I was a kid sneaking onto the family computer to play it when nobody was around. If you've played Postal 2 you know what you're getting into - if you're curious pick up Postal 2 for the nickels and dimes it's typically on sale for and grab Lost Paradise they are fun. This is par for the course for Postal as a franchise.īoomer humor mixed with boomer shooter elements and dated jokes - jokes that are already dated like Joe Exotic. People will insult you casually or aggressively, your home is stolen from you and any transportation you get will be capable of being taken from you as well. You can, most of the time, play 2 or 4 on a pacifist method but with how everything is constructed, you are constantly tempted to take a more violent approach in a world that is mad without an apocalypse going on. But it evokes a similar feeling in utilizing the absurd, while offering multiple ways to accomplish goals. I’m not saying Postal 4 or the series is as high quality as Swift’s work, most certainly not. Something so plainly absurd in many aspects, while showing how certain things in our modern times can be ridiculous without the caricature elements painted on top of them. I mean, I gave money to support the team who actually work on the game like Mike J (who is essentially Vince’s polar opposite in many ways) and play something that is akin to a video game version of Johnathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”.
