POSTAL 4: No Regerts
The POSTAL Dude is back! Several years have passed since the events that devastated the once proud town remembered as Paradise. The only two to walk away from the cataclysm unscathed, the hapless everyman known as the POSTAL Dude and his loyal companion Champ, drive aimlessly through the scorching deserts of Arizona looking for a new place to call home. After a fortuitous gas station rest stop ends with their car, trailer home, and the rest of their worldly possessions stolen, all the Dude’s seemingly got left to his name is his canine cohort and his bathrobe, and neither of them smells all that great. However, on the horizon, the duo glimpses an unfamiliar and dazzling town that beckons to them. What untold prospects lie within? Fame? Fortune? Maybe a bidet or two? Edensin awaits. POSTAL 4: No Regerts is a satirical and outrageous comedic open world first person shooter and the long-awaited true sequel to what’s been fondly dubbed as "The Worst Game Ever™", POSTAL 2! (No third game is known to exist.)

Better than Postal 3, worse than Postal 2. Solid open world game, but it still needs to have some work done.

Right off the bat, I'm going to address the technical aspect - it's beyond atrocious. The game has insane performance issues, this combined with all the bugs, glitches and loading times every 3 steps makes for a bad first impression. It's so bad as a matter of fact that I wanted to quit before even finishing the first day.
It's clear to me the game runs on an ancient engine which brings me to the graphics, I mean there are definitely less visually appealing games but a game released in 2022 shouldn't look like it came out in the mid 2000s. Personally, I don't think it's the end of the world, I guess the developers wanted to preserve the charm of Postal 2.
The story and humor is fine, maybe not the funniest but you are bound to giggle every so often. It's kinda nostalgic to see an actual continuation of where Postal 2 left off.
Gameplay mostly remains the same as well. You can still put your cat on the rifle, you can pee on npcs until they vomit or you can use the health pipe. A few things have changed such as being able to hop on a mobility scooter and cruise around or put money into a good use and shop for supplies in one of many vending machins across the map - overall there are more things to mess with, places to explore and activities to try.
I know the developers tried their best to improve the game as much as possible. Yes, it's better in a ton of ways than its predecessor but the bar has been set so low that it's expected for this game to be significantly better. If it wasn't for the poor optimization, I wouldn't think twice giving the game a positive review.

Yall dont understand how rws makes games. Back when postal 2 first dropped, it too was a shitty, buggy mess. Postal 2 also didnt have NEARLY as much content as it does now when it first released. This game has far more content than Postal 2's original launch as well. This game is honestly fun as hell, easily the best gunplay out of any postal game, the vehicles, especially the go kart make travel way less of a pain in the ass than in postal 2, the tasks are less realistic and relateable than postal 2's, however they're still fun and unique, like being able to send illegal american immigrants to mexico with a giant slingshot. That, the slightly less amounts of edge, the lack of the 200hp providing weed plants, lack of taliban (although you do get feminists and furries, still, the taliban was kind of a staple of postal, they had them in the movie, postal 2, and even postal 3. ), and occasionally dying when you fall out of the map instead of being teleported back in like in postal 2, are the only areas where it falls short of postal 2. The areas where it outshines postal 2 however, should be noted, and id say this game is just as fun as postal 2.

Love the game, but please fix performance issues. My PC has better specifications than the recommended and still runs like shit. Thanks.

P4 has been definitely improved since the release, but still there has to be a lot work done. Developers, please add steam workshop ASAP. Modders will polish the game...And the game is not worth the full price, only buy with big discounts.

ONLY BUY IF YOU'RE A DIEHARD POSTAL FAN
This game has been out for a few years not but its literally just a slop game. It hasn't been optimized and still has bugs, the humor is alright yet bland. its nothing compared to postal 2. It killed the soul of postal 2 by making the game's jokes more "family friendly" and avoiding obvious opportunities to make a political joke or a race joke. The map is way too big and empty, it doesnt even feel nor look like a city, and the ai okay at best. some errands are fun but a few can be repetitive. the rampages are fun too but they get repetitive considering there are like 50 of them. its very buggy and likes to crash. overall its a below decent game and underwhelming sequel but its alright enough to be recommended ONLY to diehard fans of this series. its very frustrating though (and terribly optimized). Its that type of game you want to finish for the sole reason of uninstalling it and freeing up some space on your hard drive. Considering how sloppy it is, at least it's the type of game you want to finish at all.

The game's pretty fun but still buggy in some parts, would recommend but only during a sale.
