A Buggy and Boring Mess
This game still isn't great. I played it on release and felt underwhelmed, and still can't consciously recommend it to people who enjoyed Postal 2. Postal 2 is a good game despite it's setbacks, and Postal 4 tries awfully hard to reach that same style of comedy, but misses the mark and hits a bystander instead. It's still buggy and crash-prone, and the writing and story feels almost flat and uninspired, lacking in the real satirical awfulness of Postal 2 and coming across more to me as an edgy teenager re-writing that game in a more modern setting but missing the key points of what made it a fun experience. It's got a lot of the hallmarks of Postal: cat silencers, urinating, political incorrectness, etc, but it lacks the life that Postal 2 had. I'll still support RWS with all my heart, I stand by them as a company, but they can surely do far better than this. The people defending RWS's decision to release the game in the state it's in are obnoxious, and blaming people pointing out the game's flaws as "SJWs" or whatever else helps nothing. Postal has always been an unapologetic and vulgar car-wreck of a game series designed to offend as many groups as possible, video gaming's South Park long before South Park games were a thing, but Postal 4 just feels uninspired. It feels like RWS tried too hard to capture the lightning in a bottle they had with Postal 2, and it resulted in stories and missions that just weren't interesting or fun to play, among other issues. The open world is massive, yet feels empty, almost like the poor man's New Vegas. Postal 2's map was compact, important areas were placed in a way that was easy to navigate, Postal 4's map makes it a pain to do absolutely anything, as all of your objectives are spread out over such a large area of land. I will say, though, the voice acting is quite nice, I like having multiple options for the Dude's voice, and Jon St. John was a good pick. TL:DR, Play Postal 2 again, don't bother with this game for now.
