    I've never played something so broken. Even though this game came out one or two years ago, it's still full of major bugs, weird design choices and many more problems. I love Postal 2 but this one was a misstep. Maybe they'll fix/finish it some day, untill then I refuse to continue playing.

    The humour of a 12-year-old. Such ugly graphics. The most videotaped and boring open world I've ever seen. And the slowest credits possible... Frankly, if I were them, I wouldn't even have taken out a credit, it's better not to know the creators of this abominable piece of ****

    Looks ugly, a lot of bugs a year after the official release, the plot is even more idiotic and ridiculous than in Paradise Lost, the optimization is better than in the alpha version, but it still sucks.

You will again ask to sign the petition, you will vote again, and at the end you will again encounter a local apocalypse with cats falling from the sky. This game is dangerously close to Postal 3, but still better.… Expand

    Awful game. Just awful. Lazy development. Normally I would go into detail on a bad game but it's not worth my time. Avoid.

    absolute joke of a videogame. developers are acting like clowns on social media all the time, while their game is absolute half-baked garbage. this was my first and last postal game. I can not believe someone took their time to make this game. 1/10.

    this is the most awesome game, I don't even have the words to convey this splendor. I've never seen a better game anywhere. it's a pity the ratings are low. I hope my review will fix at least something

    you know? There are people who only see the negative in a product. An example of this is the critics, and Postal 4 is one of them since it really is a good game and it's similar to Postal 2. Obviously, there are people who don't understand the black humor of this game. and I understand that, the good thing is that you can choose which voice you prefer for the postal dude

    The game is a big mess, even after a year since launch, the game is pretty much incomplete, there are a lot of glitches that ruin the expirience and most of the missions are boring. It's sad that Postal 4 managed to be worse than Postal 2 (even 3 if you ask me), a game from 20 years ago.

    Been enjoying the hell out of it! As I've stated before to Running With Scissors, I've been pissing on everyone and everything! Greatest feature in any game ever! Lol unless there is pissing in your game, I don't want to play it!

    Normally it's not a 10 out of 10 game, but I want to increase the score a bit. In fact, I defend this, whoever gives points should give it, neither more nor less. The game isn't very good, but it's not bad enough to score 30 points. 60 is ideal for this good. I can safely say that stray is much more boring than this game.

    It's not about the performance (that it is a disgrace) or the ugly graphics (oh, man, watch the trailer or just a couple of pics and will get the idea), but the humor. It's not irreverent. It's not dark. It's not brave or provoking. Just a lot of scatological jokes so, so lame that would not be funny even for a 13-year-old boy.

    The map is the other great problem.

    The map is the other great problem. Bigger than Postal 2, but worst in every aspect, boring, with no soul.

    So, in conclusion... even Postal III (being a terrible game) is better than this.    … Expand

    It's designed to be bad and broken... and it does exactly that so it should be a 10, but in the real world it's still bad and deserves a low score.

    if YOU buy this crap, YOU'RE the problem.

    I don't even know where to begin, this is barely a game. Its more a bad tech demo for unreal 4.
    This game feels like it was mostly made by 1 guy who was rushed. I know exactly how that feels and been there. But yeah. Crashes everywhere, poor story with worse writing than postal the movie.

Go watch that instead, so do anything instead. Story is probably the worst thing here, right next to level design. If you ever want to know how to not make a game, take all your tips from this one and you will be set. There is so many things they could do to fix it, but they choose to instead attempt to deflect any and all criticism at RWS. It was in a pre-released state for nearly 3 years with little to no improvement where it needed it. So much of the game is broken and buggy. Yes postal 3 was better, the devs constantly trash postal 3, but it is far better than this hot mess. They attempted to give a critic of the series a role in the game, he manages his own store... which stores in this game do not work. They apparently have a bunch of side missions... most do not work. I remember clearing a minor mission and it said I still had to do it after completing it. Multiple times. So many bugs, so many crashes. I at one point ate food while on fire and the game crashed almost every time I did this. I noticed several bugs reported some. Not a single reply from RWS. There is too many bugs to report at this point. The only point that doesn't feel like its in a constant state of cheat death debug mode where instead of loading the last save it just teleports you to the checkpoint. This checkpoint warping is a big issue on later stages of the game, especially the final boss fight warping you back to another map entirely, I had it glitch out so many times and crash because of this. The game unloads and reloads assets quickly but yet the loading screens take forever like every last one of them is loading every last resource in the game and precaching them all no matter the level. Like it is loading every texture too. This is bad, it makes the game easier, keep in mind just playing the game is difficult on even high end hardware. This game runs poorly no matter what, all of the difficulty of this game comes from how badly it performs. No matter what they add to the game at this point the level design will kill it, if not the level design the performance of the game. It is in desperate need to lower loading times and increase frame rates. So much is being done wrong here I don't see any possible way the devs can save the game underneath all these problems in performance, even if so difficulty at this point will put the game at such a easy difficulty that it will need heavy balance changes. Many of the weapons are underwhelming. Certain weapons should share ammo like the 2 shotguns in the game. Swimming is completely broken where you when you surface to the top of the water the water collision no longer works and you are no longer swimming till you hit the bottom. Sometimes glitching through objects and getting stuck.I did notice a few people were missing in the credits as well; I heard from many that they used store bought assets. I can honestly belief this as there is a vast difference in model types, art styles, and many assets that don't match the rest of the game.

    Now for the good, yes if everything was fixed it might be better. If all the glitches and bugs and the devs added a feature of auto detect stuck players like postal 2 did than maybe it might be a ok game with terrible world design. This would require way way more than what they are currently putting into the game and require a major massive overhaul. Every part of this game is under developed, nothing is done, so much is unfinished. Oh thats right I am trying to talk about the good here.... Monday: Missions are more complete here than every other day, its a ok opening jokes at the start need to be heavily reworked within the opening, most of them are terribly done and phoned in, most of the humor here is shock humor that is worse than postal 3 bad. Tuesday: You turn into a cat, also one of the most glitchest missions in the game how ever. Weds: You go to a theme park with working rides. Thursday: Level design here is ok has creapypasta vibes. Friday: making it through this day is a challenge in itself, its the glitchiest day filled with the most bugs and needs to be entirely reworked, the ending of the game is awful and makes the game feel pointless.
    Loading screens want to compete with sonic 06 and duke nukem forever. This game is barely a game. Damn I did it again one more time the good: Weapon mechanics they have weapons, all the melees pretty much do the same thing, all the weapons have multiple skins which is a good thing, pretty much the ak and the m16 perform identically. The only weapons you will get ammo for is the pistol and shotgun early on and then only the m16 and ak. They have more weapons but not enough ammo.Damnit I give up. Here is the review.    … Expand

    This game is a complete scam. Dozen upon dozens of stolen unreal store assets, most missions are either boring as heck or are stolen from postal 2, and the game crashes at EVERY. SINGLE. LOADING SCREEN.

    Avoid at all costs. The only positive reviews are from ACTUAL Running With Scissors employees

    The devs like to pretend that they learned their lesson from the mess that was Postal 3, but this game is somehow even worse.

    Postal 3 is at least funny. This game doesn't contain any actual jokes.

    It's one of the laziest, unfinished, and BORING games I've ever played.

    Even Postal 3 is better. Because at least that game doesn't commit the sin of being BORING.

    The first installment, despite its unremarkable gameplay, at least tried. It brought the story of a man who just wants to exist, but the whole world is against him. Here, from the start, you're a nutcase in a bathrobe who shoots prisoners and cleans sewers. And sometimes he hallucinates. If there's satire, it's on the level of cops eating donuts. [Issue#319]

    Multiple updates since leaving Early Access have still resulted in a game that barely squeezes past “mediocre” in the fun department, and should have probably not left it.

    Busted in more ways than anything I’ve played in a while, it’s very disappointing as an evolution to the series. Maybe we’ll get the No Man’s Sky of Postal games and in 5 years, this review will look stupid, but where I’m sitting now, at the 1.0 release, I’m not hopeful. At least I liked No Man’s Sky on launch.
