The game feels very responsive and easy enough to control, owing greatly to the fact controller support was added to the PC version previously, allowing you to easily line up your shots and hit your target with ease.Įach level has a single goal, kill over a certain percentage of ‘hostiles’ and then escape the map via the indicated exit. You move with the Left stick, aim with the Right, fire with R2, throw with L2, and swap weapons with L1 and R1 – your standard controller setup. POSTAL Redux is a top-down isometric twin-stick shooter with a locked perspective and viewing angle. There’s nothing like enjoying a marching band… then killing them! I’m quite surprised that Sony allowed the game, considering their recent stance on certain games, but I’m so happy that more people will now be able to play the original controversial game – hopefully we’ll get Postal 2 at some point a well.

There have also been some new weapons and visual filters added which, as a fan of the original game, I really enjoyed playing with.

In terms of content, POSTAL Redux combines the game and the expansion pack, allowing you to either play the original 17 stages, the 6 expansion stages, or all 23 stages in chronological order. Either way, if you’re sensitive to mass shootings and killing innocent people in public places, you may want to give this a miss. Some of the stages you make your way through are quite disturbing and questionable, especially considering real-life events have happened which mimic these quite closely, but I honestly don’t know if the game is depicting real events for The Postal Dude, or if it’s all in his head. Due to your fatal actions, the army and local police won’t hesitate to shoot you on sight, further adding to your built-up frustrations with the world as you unleash hell upon them via the help of the weapons you obtain throughout the game.ĭue to the protagonist’s clearly mental condition, he feels no remorse or emotion should he decide to slaughter the innocent people and animals within the town, killing both the armed defenders and unarmed bystanders alike. The story itself is very vague and ambiguous you’re simply a man who has gone quite insane, thinking that the people of the town have gone mental, taking out your rage and hatred on anything that moves.

POSTAL Redux is a simple game at heart, you play as ‘The Postal Dude’ who has been evicted from his home.

The expression derives from a series of incidents from 1986 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public in acts of mass murder. Going postal is an American English slang phrase referring to becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence, and usually in a workplace environment.

This review will be focusing on the PS4 edition (via BC on my PS5), but the Switch edition is pretty much identical, bar the resolution.Įach stage has a simple, happy introduction My hopes of ever seeing the game on the console were gone, until late last year when MD Games ported the Redux edition of the game to the Nintendo Switch – could this mean we’ll eventually see it on the PlayStation? The answer is yes – POSTAL Redux finally got its PS4 debut earlier this month on the American store, with a European store release planned for later this year.Īs you may expect, I’ve played the game through to completion on both the Switch and the PS4 over the last few weeks, reliving my childhood and having a rather sadistic form of enjoyment in this brutal murder-simulation. In 2014, Running With Scissors announced they were remaking POSTAL in Unreal Engine 4, expecting it to launch on PC, Mac, Linux and the PS4! However, the PS4 version was cancelled in 2017 due to “lack of sales for the PC version”. Despite only being 14-years-old, my father bought both these for me one was a game about running people over and destroying other cars, and the other was all about mindless violence and killing innocent people for no reason – I had a very happy childhood. As he wandered the grow-up aisles, I found myself among a whole host of big-box PC games, two of which instantly caught my eye – Carmageddon 2 and POSTAL. Back in 1998, I went to a wholesale warehouse with my dad in search of new supplies for his shop.
