The humor in-game is the standard form for Postal, and I don’t want to focus on the fact that it’s crude humor that isn’t everyone’s taste, because I liked Postal 2. Postal 4 comes to a complete stop in motion as it loads the area you’re moving to, and half of the times that I hit one such wall, the game just ended up locking in place and needing to be force closed after about 5 minutes. I had it crash in the open world, as the map is separated by several distinct areas that you can walk between, but there’s an abrupt loading stop as you hit a midpoint between them. The settings issues were my first hiccup in the game, but it certainly wasn’t the last. The settings routinely broke when I changed them as well, repeatedly trying to force my resolution back up to 4K when I had set it lower and accepted the change afterward. Postal 4 is incredibly incomplete feeling and broken in enough ways that playing it on a 2070 Super at 1440p was a struggle. I suppose there’s some credit to the fact that they’re admitting it out loud, but it’s still a questionable tactic.īut don’t worry, they were not lying when they said that the game isn’t complete. There’s some explanation in there that they are using all the funds from sales to finish the game, but it seems they’re purposely leaving early access and calling the game “released and done” just to boost sales, even though the game is not actually complete in their own eyes. If you view Postal 4 on steam, the 1.0 release of the game has a news entry that reads “But why, you are no doubt wondering, would we willingly come out of when we know it needs more time in the oven?… we’re leaving early access to help raise more funds to put the finishing touches on the game, see our vision through, and get it onto console.”. It’s unfortunate how bad it is because at every turn, there’s so much opportunity for what could’ve been. There isn’t anything in this game that truly feels like they were trying to move forward with the series instead just feeling like they took everything about the original games, misunderstood it in redoing it and then failed to deliver it in a running format in modern-ish graphics. Where Postal 4 fails is in its evolution on that idea. The charm of the series has always been that they’re willing to push the envelope on edgy and offensive humor, and the original two games really did do that to the extent they were capable of. The Postal series has at no point ever been one that’s regarded as high quality game design, but the first two entries at the very least could’ve been described as “fun, funny and unique”.
