A totally ridiculous adventure designed to piss people off. Postal 2 is not a good game - and it doesn't try to be. On one hand it's the worst game I've ever played, on the other it's one of my favourite games. Overall, even with its flaws, I enjoyed Postal 2 for the most part and I recommend checking it out.ฤก00% PCHow do I rate Postal 2. The game has a quicksave feature and I suggest using it often (try to ignore the game making fun of you for doing so). This mechanic worked well for me, unless I was in a firefight, which is when I usually got stuck in objects, leading to death and having to reload a save. You can also still get stuck in objects, but thankfully the game has a mechanic where it resets your position after a few seconds. As mentioned before, there are a lot of weapons, but switching between them during firefights can be frustrating, even with hotkeys. Headshots almost never work unless you're right up in their face and shoot them with the shotgun, and getting close means taking a lot of damage. Shooting can be super clunky and a lot of the NPCs felt like bullet sponges. The game is extremely janky, even with all of the updates, which is probably due to the engine it was created on. With all that being said, actually playing the game was painful at times. There are also a lot of weapons to find and use, and the destruction you can cause is awesome. I ended up memorizing the map and where stuff was located without even attempting to do so. I initially didn't explore much on my pacifist run because I wasn't going to use any weapons so I didn't bother, but I ended up replaying the later days to experiment with the weaponry and I was blown away by how much stuff to find. The game is open-world (though there are loading screens in between areas) and exploration feels rewarding, as there seems to be weapons and items to find everywhere. Yes, this game has being able to pee on people, which seems like a silly mechanic to include, but it's actually really useful, especially on pacifist runs. It's really cool that you can complete the chores in whatever order you want and however you want, whether it be waiting in line and paying money to avoid conflict, or going postal (ha) and taking the item by force, or even just bypassing the line, having an army come at you, and running away while peeing at them. I had always heard that a pacifist run was possible in this game, so I decided to do one on my first ever playthrough, and I was pleasantly surprised that it's actually possible. The best part about this game is the freedom. The humor in this game is dark and absurdist, which is right up my alley. They're all satirical stereotypes and I found a lot of their dialogue to be funny. The characters, on the other hand, are great. The story is pretty much nonexistent: the game lasts from Monday to Friday and each day involves you wandering around town to complete chores. I liked this game on the whole, but I also had a number of issues that really brought down my enjoyment. This review is for the modern version of the game. However, to their credit, the developers Running With Scissors have continued to support this game all these years and fixed most of the problems it had back then. When the game initially released back in 2003, it was apparently full of bugs and crashes. 70% PCI played this game for the first time in 2022.
