The verdict

A janky, buggy Postal 2-style sandbox with chaotic fun, lots of weapons and co-op, but poor performance and weaker humor. Skip it if you want Postal 2's polish or have a modest PC.

Great for

Die-hard Postal fans who tolerate jank and want chaotic sandbox mayhem, especially in co-op, on sale

Main risk

Poor optimization, crashes and bugs make it barely playable for many, with weaker humor than Postal 2

What changed in the last 30 days

46 recent reviews

Recent negatives focus on stutter, low fps, a loading hang in v1.7.0, co-op crashes and old unfixed bugs. Recent positives also admit optimization problems. Moderate confidence.
