PC Critic Reviews

Postal 4: No Regerts is a return to form to the cult classic Postal 2. Unfortunately, while it does stay true to what made it successful among its fanbase, it doesn’t raise the bar in any area where it could be considered a great game. For a series known for pushing the envelope, Postal 4 feels like it plays things too safe. The gameplay mechanics are rough around the edges, while the attempts at edgy humor fall short. The potential is there, but regerttably the writers never push it to a level where it would be memorable. What we end up with is a game that is enjoyable but ultimately unremarkable.

Embarrassing is a word that doesn't really give the exact idea of how i feel about Postal 4. The crude style of the game suggests a ton of easy jokes, but in this case I feel the best thing is simply to flush the toilet.

Postal 4 is like the logo of Running with Scissors: a dirty kid running with scissors who takes the risk of hurting himself with them. And the game actually crashes, due to its dubious humor and a rather deplorable technical record.

Aside from politically correctness evaluations, the game offers crazy things to do do, but due to game breaking bugs, uninteresting missions, very poor performances, huge loading times and bad optimization, the gaming experience is very disappointing and frustrating.

A game with a dedicated ‘pull your dick out’ keybinding in 2022 should be way more clever than this. No amount of John St. John voice-over work or copyright-dodging music jingles can cover up the odor emanating from this pile. 4/10 BBQ’d dead dogs.

Postal 4 doesn't disappoint expectations: those looking for gratuitous violence, vulgarity and bad taste satire will find bread for their teeth. Results that are obtained using the winning basis of the second episode, structured in five levels for as many days of the week: a little more originality would not have hurt. Unfortunately, the technical problems are too obvious to overshadow: poor optimization, graphics bordering on indecent and numerous bugs still make it look like an embryonic title, despite three years of development. Or maybe this was precisely the intention of the developers?

When it comes to humor, satire and pretend violence, I have endlessly high tolerance. Art and entertainment should be free to push buttons and push the limits of what’s acceptable. I have far less patience for lazy, sloppy and tired humor that masquerades as edgy, and no patience at all for developers that waste my time with games that barely run. With Postal 3, Running With Scissors blamed it on the Russians. With Postal 4, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Postal that we don't want to remember. Definitely an unfinished piece of software that will let even the most ardent fans know that for some games it is better to stay in the past forever.

If Postal 4: No Regerts was released 15 years ago it would just be buggy, ugly and dumb. Since it’s released today, it’s also very dated in its lame scatological humor. With an endless focus on making you do tedious errands, it can take a while before you get to the actual homicidal mania, and when you do, it’s a janky, repetitive letdown. Unless you’re the world’s biggest fan of poop and penis jokes, Postal 4: No Regerts is as much fun as watching someone laugh at their own farts.

Multiple updates since leaving Early Access have still resulted in a game that barely squeezes past “mediocre” in the fun department, and should have probably not left it.
