POSTAL 2

Best deal since Valve's Orange Box. Postal 2, Share The Pain, and Apocalypse Weekend, for only $9.99?! Seems unreal, but it isn't. Postal 2 is a great FPS that can classify as a stress reliever. It's not about story or meaning. It's about knocking the crap out of cops with a shovel.

A fun little f-you to PC pearl clutchers then and now.

Not only Chinese language but also fantasic Chinese voices (localized) . Good old Game! Enjoy

I'm going to preface this by saying that you should play this game yourself and form your own opinion, and that I have played through Postal 2 and both of the major expansions. In terms of overall performance, the game runs on Unreal 2 (I believe?) and can be pretty janky at times, although it will run on Windows 10. The gameplay is pretty fair for the base game, but do be warned that Apocalypse Weekend (which is part of base Postal 2 these days) and Paradise Lost are more challenging than the base game is. You gain a pretty big variety of weapons and things to use as the game progresses, all of them fun and useful. You may find the story outdated, distasteful, or outright offensive, but it's a fairly simple one. You're the Postal Dude, an average guy (for 2004), and you have to go into town or other places to complete tasks each day. Some of them are simple, like getting milk, but something almost always goes awry and you have to either choose to intervene or stick to just doing what you need to. Pacifism is an option, even though it can be much harder. My opinion of Postal 2 is that it's a fine game and I think more people should play it and give it a closer look than what its reputation says. Postal 2 is no worse than GTA San Andreas, another game that caused drama and is still one of the coolest games ever made. I look at Postal 2 the same way, it's an exaggerated perspective of how America was in 2004, and the mindset of people during that time. I hope you found my review helpful or informative, though.

I was first interested in Postal² around a year or two ago, when I bought a key for it on Steam. I never actually played the singleplayer "campaign" and always used mods, and, a few weeks ago, bought Postal² and Paradise Lost for a sweet discount here on GOG, because, as a lover of older games, a discount for a game I already love and wanted to both get into and playing while being DRM-free just made me instantly buy it again on GOG. It's the first proper "game" purchase in probably 3 years that I do such a thing, as prior to that I would always look up if the game I was buying was good. Now, what do I think of the game? I'll say it can't be good for me but I feel great (about it). For starters, its a follow-up on the first game, but that is still heavily different. Here, we switch from a dark and gritty game to a comically both unpleasant and extremely funny game. We switch from seeing skulls in the main menu to seeing "The Gary Coleman Story". In the game, you follow the Postal Dude, also known as the Dude as he goes through his weekly errands. Most of them are quite mundaine tasks, however there is always a swift turn in every simple task. I won't spoil too much, as it's funny as hell (at least to me), but for exmaple, in the first day (Monday), when you go pick up the paycheck from the RWS office, anti-violent games protestors decide to attack the building, and you have to shoot your way through. And something like that, aka something unexpected, always happens. In almost every task, only getting funnier and weirder the more you progress. There are also some open-ended elements in terms of how you approach the tasks. For example, on monday, when you go collect the milk, you can either pick it up and pay, or try to steal it and have to run to the top floor. And the Dude's quotes always are so funny!! TL:DR, buy it and play it! You'll either love it or hate it. Arguably one of the best "old" games I've played. It's one of a kind, that's for sure...
