Several years have passed since the events that devastated the once proud town remembered as Paradise. The only two to walk away from the cataclysm unscathed, the hapless everyman known as the POSTAL Dude and his loyal companion Champ, drive aimlessly through the scorching deserts of Arizona looking for a new place to call home. After a fortuitous gas station rest stop ends with their car, trailer home, and the rest of their worldly possessions stolen, all the Dude’s seemingly got left to his name is his canine cohort and his bathrobe, and neither of them smells all that great. However, on the horizon, the duo glimpses an unfamiliar and dazzling town that beckons to them. What untold prospects lie within? Fame? Fortune? Maybe a bidet or two? Edensin awaits.
POSTAL 4: No Regerts is a satirical and outrageous comedic open world first person shooter and the long-awaited true sequel to what’s been fondly dubbed as "The Worst Game Ever™", POSTAL 2! (No third game is known to exist.)

AI Is kinda life-less and clunky.
Game crashed for me many times (I'm not using an amazing rig, but I should be able to run the game even if at low settings).
This game for me seems worse than P3... And that was terrible, the story is bland, not to fun and seems rushed.
This game seems to be a regurt-getation of old ideas that missed the other games mixed with ideas the Devs thought would be 'fun' or 'unique'... But somehow missing the humour, the comical P2 quests where somehow getting even 'milk' ends-up making mayhem and we all know how postal dude feels about working his ass-off and still being skint.. which is what makes us relate to him.. no one likes huge queues in places just to buy something like crisps, or walking in a piss-puddle, being splashed by that total dick'ed in a car who goes through puddles, etc.
I love RWS but this game is just ..janky, so.. sadly I would say pass and get P2 with the add-ons as it's more fun (and look-up the fan made mods, there awesome as always).
It's more Postal 2.
Except for Paradise Lost, which is literally more Postal 2.
Postal 4 is the true sequel to Postal 2, and not that one number that happens between 2 and 4, which is also the number that Valve refuses to acknowledge.
My daughter is a huge fan of Postal 2. I saw this game on sale for $15 and picked it up for her. She played a few hours and said the game play is boring and repetitive. I decided to give the game a go and one of the first missions is collecting an absurd number of cats and dogs for some guy. I figured "well, at least Monday is over after this." Nope, two more long and boring missions to slog through.
A lot of Postal fans seem to believe if you don't like the game, it's because you're offended. No, the game is boring as hell and the missions are repetitive to the point the game makes ME want to go postal on RWS.
There are some good aspects, I really like the new vehicle and I like the collectibles scattered throughout town. I like the stores and different outfits you can buy. I don't know how broken the AI is but I do know that in Postal 2, I could set a dog on fire and watch as he runs into a crowd of people and also sets them on fire. In Postal 4, the dog catches on fire and whines as he burns to death in front of me.
Wasrte of money don't buy this cash grab. Compared to Postal 2 (and Postal 1) this game is BORING. Nothing ever happens. The NPCs are non-reactive. Too much time spent walking/driving around looking for collectibles hidden in random bulidings. I've played Postal 2 through several times since 2003 and it's always a laugh to get some rediculous series of events to happen. This game is empty in comparison.
It's like Postal 2 in a bunch of ways but there is just this awful lack of quality to it that makes even Postal 2 come across as polished. The way guns work, the way NPC's move around the world and pathfind, the way you jump, the way you aim around, something about everything is just... Off... Postal 2 can excuse A LOT of its quirks on the argument of beind a game of its time, it had to deal with limitations, but there comes a point where you have to actually step up the quality of your game and postal 4 falls short in a lot of ways.
It's ok. If you really just want more Postal then I guess it's fine if you're willing to put up with some wonk (even wonkier than Postal 2 that is).
