It is so astounding how good Postal is, especially when you consider the limitations the developers were likely working with back in 1997. Despite the age, the game succeeds in creating an uncomfortable atmosphere that many modern titles would struggle to replicate. What impressed me the most is that the game represents much more than the violence you commit. That contrast makes the violence feel disturbing and uncomfortable, especially given how well the unsettling soundtrack fits with the gameplay. Even almost three decades after it's release, Postal remains effective because it understands what truly is scarier than any kind of gore. It is watching someone decend into pure madness and go postal. After all what is scarier, getting mauled by an eldritch horror, or slowly watching someone decend into madness and ruining their life in the process? The game becomes a disturbing psychological nightmare that stays with you for a while after playing it. It is also very ironic that the developers considered a school shooting too grotesque to depict. Yet in hindsight that decision feels almost tragically accurate, as an unrelated real world tragedy would take place only a couple years later, and make such violence a horrifying reality.

Really bad game, aged like milk, many stuff is just outdated and not understandable. Plus the whole game is clearly made for a very underground audience to not say anything offensive about the people who play this and consider it a " masterpiece ", i'm way more happy for the route Running with scissors took for this franchise giving it a comedy face, making it appealing for more casual audience and making it a game that anyone can play for laughs instead for an audience that is way too silent in class lets say.
Технически слишком устарел оригинал, нужно играть в редукс.
Pretty damn good, Tasteful story and such. You can defo see where Hotline Miami go its inspiration form ! ! ! I regret nothing.
The earth is hungry... it's heart throbs and demands cleansing. The earth is also thristy... Postal redux is just a better version of this game, but if you don't have money, just get this one!
Postal (1997) is a game of its time, but a cultural piece in PC gaming. It's a twin stick shooter that is very violent with some humor and satire involved. You essentially "go postal" and start to mass murder law enforcement and civilians. The core gameplay is a bit repetitive and not too difficult if you play carefully, but I found it fun reading the intro journal posts before each level, it being the thoughts of a homicidal madman. My only frame of reference to this Running With Scissors game is Postal 2, which tends to be more silly and light hearted along with a bunch of violence. The original Postal is less comedic and edges towards... edginess. Postal is free! Spare a few minutes of your time to play the game the 90s media warned you about!
best game in the universe i dont think any other game can even come close to the amount of joy postal gives me even if i die over and over again i love this game so much and i can take out my anger on fictional videogame npcs instead of real people because i would never take out my anger in this way on real people because that is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up but i know some chud is gonna say that im a school shooter and ♥♥♥♥ you i am not a school shooter you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i hate people that think everyone who likes guns or plays postal is a shooter because that is retarded and makes no sense but what also doesnt make sense is how i am using 0 punctuation on this review and how im rambling about random ♥♥♥♥ that has nothing to do with the game i dont even know what im talking about at this point and i dont know why im continuing to write this review because at this point im rambling about rambling what am i even doing dknskndskei oewjfiewjfoefwej oihjefhuwfeihfwiufwikfh play this game right now
После прохождения этой игры я и вправду ни о чём не жалею.Я никогда не встречал такой игры раньше, она прям веет атмосферой старых игр.Для того времени это настоящий шедевр, игра которая не боялась осуждений и цензуры.Но и по сей день игра остаётся особенной.Если сравнивать с другими частями игры,то она самая загадочная из всех.У неё есть свой сюжет, который мельком появляется перед каждым уровнем.У неё есть своя хоррор сторона,что очень непривычно для этой серии игр.У игры есть редукс,но я пока не могу сказать насчёт него.Но здесь есть богатый выбор оружия, сюжет,читы с помощью которых можно разнообразить игру и конечно же куча людей,что ещё нужно для идеальной игры?Я получил все ачивки в ней и в ачивках есть пасхалки на фильмы и другие,что очень забавно.Пришлось скачать Линукс,ради одной из ачивок, это очень хороший опыт, который открыла мне игра.Очень рекомендую сыграть в эту игру, особенно если ты фанатеешь по postal.
went to a game shop they told me they dont sell postals what happend next is between me and them anyway. came back to home and find out this gem is free so i started playing
