    Postal Redux is remake of the original postal game. It's a controversial Top-Down-Shooter.
    And by that I've already told you everything about the game.
    It's gameplay is boring and repetitive and there's no real challenge at all. You just kill everyone in a level, go to the next level and kill everyone there. Repeat this for 2 hours and the game is finished. There are some other modes    Postal Redux is remake of the original postal game. It's a controversial Top-Down-Shooter.

    There are some other modes besides the campaign but it all boils down to the same boring gameplay loop.

    If you are a fan of the postal series and want to know where the series started, then give this game a try.
    But for anybody else: Hands off this game, it's not worth your money or time.

    Rating:
    Gameplay: 2/5 - Functional, but boring
    Level Design: 3/5 - Alright
    Soundtrack: 1/5 - Totally forgettable
    Story: 2/5 - Nearly non existing
    Graphics: 3/5 - Okay for a remake
    Length: 2/5 - Too long because of the repetitiveness
    Replay Value: 3/5 - Challenge modes, and multiple difficulties
    Enjoyment: 1/5 - Didn't like it at all

    This game is just awkward. Even if we ignore the terrible graphics and the bugs, it is not playable. The controls are quite weird and the game gets boring after a minute.

    Remake in which nobody didn`t need. Play in that game only if you never played in original Postal. Remake have more good graphic, more easily gameplay.

    Know how should looks remake? As Hatred. Many people saying that Hatred bad game, but in reality Hatred it`s just good remake original Postal. You just killed people and go in another level. Story isn`t important. THAT HOW SHOULD BE    Remake in which nobody didn`t need. Play in that game only if you never played in original Postal. Remake have more good graphic, more easily gameplay.

    Know how should looks remake? As Hatred. Many people saying that Hatred bad game, but in reality Hatred it`s just good remake original Postal. You just killed people and go in another level. Story isn`t important. THAT HOW SHOULD BE LOOKS REMAKE FOR POSTAL 1997. Dark staff, scary scene of murders and other thing. That was trying do RWS in 1997 with Postal.

    They change ending where Dude should be go in school, there now church. And scene not looks good. And they also said "okay" when painter-girl which they employed for game said "I DON`T WANT DRAWING DEAD BABY IN ENDING SCENE OF CREDITS".

    What the **** RWS! Postal 4 looks also as **** So bright, so for young new weak population of mens.    … Expand

    Absolute, straight up garbage. Don't waste your time. It's difficult in an irritating manner and the controls are horrendous. Such a waste of money.

    A pretty lazy cash grab of a remake. They'll probably try to cash grab with a Postal 2 remake next

    The game itself isn't bad but It keeps crashing after like 20 seconds on a laptop with an 11th gen processor and that's **** annoying the original postal is better.

    The controversy over Postal’s violence has long died out and the game offers absolutely nothing that could appeal to a contemporary gamer. [08/2016, p.64]

    If you enjoyed the original Postal, then you can enjoy it all over again with some updated visuals, sounds and some added content.

    Postal Redux is a below-average remake of a mediocre 90s game. It hasn’t any hidden advantage to convince you that it's worthy of playing. You get more fun if play the old Postal 2 again.
