POSTAL 2

It's hard to believe Postal 2 was released 13 years ago. 13 years! While the game shows its age today, I can only see it as a high point back then. Running With Scissors is still supporting this game after all this time. That's understandable, given this is the only successful project from them. However, it also shows the love the developers have with their own work and that's awesome. In 2015 an expansion was released, called Paradise Lost, and it keeps the same quality level of the main game (maybe even more). Postal 2 is coherently known to be silly and gruesome. The humor is awesome, and it even features Gary Coleman in ways that made me drop tears from laughing. What's cool too is that this game is still fresh and unique today. You control Postal Dude and your goal is to survive five days (one week if you play the longer campaign), doing simple things like getting milk and returning a book. Of course it's not that easy, and things quickly take turns to the often bizarre but always funny situations. It's your choice how gruesome the game will be, because you can complete it without killing anyone. Overall, it's a nice game that is more worth to play today than it has ever been.

...That is, if you use mayhem. It may all seem normal for the Postal guy. Just fetch something and do chores. However, POSTAL 2 was never meant for such simplicity. Quite often, players will indulge themselves by commencing all sorts of indescribable chaos in their environment, most of which I cannot explain in this review. What I can say is, it's different from the normal video game due to the lack of a plot (not like POSTAL 2 needed it) but substitutes it with the "free will" in unleashing devastation, or you can avoid this. It's all up to players. With the Steam version, there's also a workshop which brings back cut content and new ones as well, such as weapons. As a conclusion, only get this game if you don't want to play as a hero and experience a game similar to GTA but with no objectives.

Postal 2 takes a lot of funny (and some terrible) references from the early 2000s and lets you do whatever you want to them, including light them on fire, excrete bodily fluids from your bladder onto them and of course shoot them. However, although this is fun at first, for someone with not a lot of time to play, this gets boring quickly, as I feel unfulfilled while doing this. I feel no progression, no movement, and overall, I feel like I'm not getting anything from the time that I'm spending on this game. Others say it's SR and GTA-esque but I disagree, I feel the game has not aged well, and the loading screens take a long time. I spent $2 on it, and so, I'm not too upset about losing that, but in the end, I did lose that money. My vote is to avoid the game and spend your time on something a little newer, with more story

It's two in the morning, and I know that there are more productive things to do than shove a shotgun up the rear end of a cat. In fact, I have a book report due tomorrow. And, yet, I have made the conscious decision to immerse myself in a digital world of profanity, urine, explosions, dismemberment, and Gary Coleman. Whether or not I regret this decision is something I'll determine when I receive my failing grade on my book report in the flesh, but for now, Postal 2 acts as the perfect amoral form of escapism.

Guys from Running With Scissors made something amazing. You thought first Postal game was sick? Nope. Postal 2 is definition of this word. First of all, you need to have some sense of humour - kind of sick, who won't be offended at every little thing. If you met this criteria you must get this game. It's full of wrong things. Fun things. Every bad things you always were doing to people in your imagination now can come true. You can kick people. You can chop their heads and kick their heads. You can chop their heads, set them on fire and kick fire heads to your dog, which will be set on fire while playing with this funny head. You can "golden shower" people and kill them with your special gun with cat silencer.
