    Ugly and with abysmal performance.
    Same annoying loading screens out of nowhere as 2, this was the one thing i thought this game would easily do better, with you know, a sandbox map with no loadings like every other open world game nowadays.
    Downgraded gore. The police AI is Cyberpunk bad.

    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 ****

    Seems like a downgrade from postal 2, it's not terrible but it's just not great. I had fun playing it and if you're a fan of the series I would still play it, but I can't see myself ever coming back to this. This game took all the good things about postal 2 and made them worse, this is just mediocre and I'm probably gonna stick with P2.

    Crashing and performance issues aside the game still sucks monkey balls. Feels like they were in a hurry to push it out and as a result it runs like ass.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    This game is worst entry in this series. First problem, most prominent one is optimization. It wasn't done for 3 years and developers would deny themselves that it's their fault. They even divided it into smaller areas and still runs poorly. World of this "game" is dull, boring. In short - too big and too empty.

In short - too big and too empty. NPCs are also lackluster - both in terms of looks and AI, which is one of the worst I've ever seen. I started the topic of graphics, so I'll say that this game looks like Sims or Fortnite, which isn't fitting for Postal game. Postal 3 looked better than that. Even Postal 2 looked better than that. Gunplay is so broken that would quickly turn you into pacifist. Quests are unimaginative, stupid and made with intent to make you angry, which is not what videogames are about. Humour in this half-product is from the lowest levels, it's embarassing. Various bugs also plague this game. Yes, there's choice for Dude's voice, but it would be good for co-op and not singleplayer campaign (I won't deny their performance, because it's good). There are sounds, they didn't forget about them. Also there's other problem with fanbase, or rather RWS' fanboys that will defend this "game" no matter what. Of course they are not true Postal fans, because instead they would really care about the state of this "product". So won't be ashamed or scared of saying the truth. Godspeed!… Expand

    A Running With Scissors employee actually sent drones to spam this garbage game with 10/10 reviews so I made an account just to give this low effort trash a 0.

    Don't trust this sleazy company.

    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.

    I don't think it's awful, it just feels like a downgraded version of Postal 2. The level design is worse, the city isn't as fun, the gore is milder, and the humor doesn't resonate with me as well. The game also currently has some pretty bad performance issues. If you're really craving something new in the Postal series you'll probably still enjoy it; otherwise you should just stick with Postal 2.

    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

    Half of the game's assets are stolen from the Unreal store, and the other half are stolen from Postal 2. Total scam.

    It was not a surprise at all that normies gave this negative reviews. But as a person who played Postal 4's predecessor, Postal 2, I can give this a 7 easily

Not in order to play now, but in order to help developers who make a game in this nasty and politically correct time in which you can identify a person before dismembering him with a shovel, and then play with the dog the head of this unlucky person. A game full of banter and references. A game that can give you those feelings that no other will give.
    Well, if you are interested in graphics and an epic plot with kintz, then you obviously should not take this game. Not now, not later on you won’t get it, it’s not about that.    … Expand

    Postal 4 is based. This game is great, played it from start to end and enjoyed it. Yeah it's definitely not finished still but I had a great time with it. Will be waiting for the next updates.

    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.
