    Postal 4: No Regerts is a return to form to the cult classic Postal 2. Unfortunately, while it does stay true to what made it successful among its fanbase, it doesn’t raise the bar in any area where it could be considered a great game. For a series known for pushing the envelope, Postal 4 feels like it plays things too safe. The gameplay mechanics are rough around the edges, while the attempts at edgy humor fall short. The potential is there, but regerttably the writers never push it to a level where it would be memorable. What we end up with is a game that is enjoyable but ultimately unremarkable.

    This just isn't a good or fun game. I rate it a 4 because I think the art and sound team did a good job.
    Gameplay, level design, story,    This just isn't a good or fun game. I rate it a 4 because I think the art and sound team did a good job.
    Gameplay, level design, story, writing on the other hand isn't done well, it's boring, uncreative and cheap.

    This game is like a high-school group project to make a powerpoint where the smart artsy kids got put with the annoying kids that quote 2012 memes and reddit jokes. Something that is presented well but flops on content.

    A modern rendition of what the original postal was about, a game crude and offensive with the tools to make some wacky scenarios could have real potential in 2022, but every punch, every beat just feels annoying and unfunny. The levels feel like job simulators with the boring 'screw in lightbulb ,carry box, report scrap' objectives and every time someone speaks I roll my eyes waiting for them to shut up.

    Modern hardware, systems and culture could've gave the grounds for something really out there, something really creatively crude. But no, it's just early 90s level design with 2016's 30-something year old Facebook humour sprinkled in.

    A waste and a shame. They took the easy route on gameplay and humour and it shows, there is nothing original about this, the original postal games had the humour and delivery of a good south park episode, this on the other hand goes for the low-hanging fruit. We're making fun of SJW culture when before we were pissing on Gary Coleman. It's just creatively bankrupt.

    I wish I could say the game tried hard, but it really didn't, had the devs not made postal two, this would not have any reviews and would go completely unheard of, and I'd be an afternoon of free time better for it.    … Full Review »
