The only good Postal game is a spinoff expressionist boomer shooter that takes place entirely in the protagonist's depraved mind (www.pcgamer.com)

The only good Postal game

Unquestionably shit take.

Edit: Read the article. Really just another shit gaming journalist. Their whole justification for why the rest of the series isn’t good basically boils down to “I only wanna play boomer shooters.”

Postal 1 and 2 are fucking bangers.

Played 2 before 1, could never get into 1 after that. 2 is so good.

It’s the perfect game

Watched the trailer for the spinoff. Gives me dusk vibes.

Still, postal 2 will always hold a special place for me. That game was great.

Postal 2 was awesome at the time. Even enjoyed playing it again last year.

Games journalists aren’t legally people.

Running With Scissors has been making fun of exact such takes since POSTAL 2, proudly waving their “worst game of all time” banners.

If this isn’t irony, it sure is ironic.
