Surprisingly good

I admit that I didn't really pay any attention to this one at first. I'm not really a Postal fan so you can imagine how interested I was in playing a Postal spin-off but I'm glad I finally did. It does take a few levels to really get going and I think episode 1 is probably the weakest but once it hits it's stride it's a damn good arena/horde shooter (people say it's a boomer shooter but honestly it's a lot more inspired by DOOM 2016 that DOOM 1993). The arsenal and items are excellent (make sure to USE your items and don't hoard them) and it has a HUGE roster of enemies. Encounter and map design are both strong too, though maybe some levels are a little too long. The music is also great and even manages some good atmosphere at times. The Bevis and Butthead meet Caleb from Blood sense of humor is not for everybody, though Postal is one of those series where you're never sure if the jokes being bad isn't actually part of the joke. Still, it adds to the silly and surreal atmosphere and what self respecting retro aesthetic FPS protagonist isn't constantly spitting out bad one liners? If any of this seems at all like something you would enjoy than I highly recommend it. I hope Brain Damaged becomes a franchise of it's own because I want more.

Its the boomerest boomer shooter

Crude dark boomer humor, check. Borderline janky gameplay, check. Enough gore to make your mother faint, check. Yep... this is a Postal game. But in the form of a boomer shooter. Think of a Quake or Painkiller type of experience. This game can be unbalanced at times in favor of the player or the game. Either you will be showered in ammo or just not have any at all (this instance specifically reminds me of Quake). A couple of glitches getting stuck on the terrain, but there are countless auto saves and the ability to quick save where this becomes a non-issue. To give the devs merit there are a lot of great designs and level ideas in here, as well as countless creative enemy varieties. The weapons are bat-sh!t insane and fun to use. Don't forget the Corey Cruise Postal Dude returning for classic quips and a handful of cut scenes.

A great mix of Postal, Doom and more!

It's an unholy union of Postal, Doom and American McGee's Alice of all things… and it's magnificent! The gameplay is fun, every gun feels distinct and useful, and the levels are fun to explore. The game features crouch-jumping or "Slide-Jumping", which is very fast. I recommend binding crouch to Shift for easier access, as crouch-jumping should be used at all times for dodging and platforming. It’s just so fast and satisfying. My favourite part is chapter two where it uses many surreal environments. The game is jam-packed with pop culture references and they're all great. Music is pretty catchy as well The game features level select as well as manual saving with quick save and quick load, like a true PC classic. I always welcome manual saving in every game. If you like Postal games, old-school shooters and creepy visual designs, this is a game for you!
