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...
