A game that takes the line between edgy commentary and just plain shock value, and pisses all over it.
If youre looking for anything deeper than dumb horrible fun, and surface level commentary (both through mechanics and writing) or just don't have a tolerance for political incorrectness then this game is not worth your time.

Stupid but very fun
The last time I played I had installed a mod that gave you a Portal Gun but it didn't work so I just closed the game and never looked back. The rest of it is pretty good tho, maybe I'll beat it someday.
game got crack mechanics
This is the epitome of a game that just doesn't give a single fuck
I can't believe that people still hold this game in a positive light. The humor is so painfully unfunny even for it's time. Killing people with the shovel is still kind of fun though.
Feel like majority of the people love this game for the completely wrong reasons, the game has an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam with lots of positive joke reviews making remarks on the silly humor of the game, or refer to it as a "so bad it's good" type of game, completely miss the depth the game has to offer than the "le funny pee", though I was also a part of that demographic.
The previous installment of Postal was a completely edgy game about a guy going Postal and going on a killing spree to kill enough people to progress to the next level, the next installment in the series, Postal 2 seems completely out of place right? I wouldn't say so, it's like Running with Scissors realized how silly it was so they made a complete satire of their previous game and overall hyperbolizing on the edginess and mock American Congressmen trying all in their power to ban videogames for making people go Postal ™. The satire is quite effective to this day and now functions as a time capsule to a really messed up period.
Underneath all that satire Postal 2 is also an effective horror game, the underground and cave locations with the Talibans and the asylum have an eerie atmosphere and sound design that makes you feel quite uneasy, the game's now dated graphics really give it the ugly look making it feel just like a snuff film, and not to mention the absolutely crazy finale that is just absolutely chaotic. the game also has aspects of Psychological Horror which comes from the sandbox nature of the game that tests the depths of human perversion and do messed up things that you would have never imagined you would think of doing until playing this game.

I don't really get the appeal very much but it's alright I guess.

If I catch on fire I can piss in the air and extinguish myself
this game has some really damn shitty "early 2000s offensive humor" and huge jank but god there's some fun you can have by just causing chaos by literally pissing on everybody's faces
Some dumb fun. I enjoyed the main game + Apocalypse Weekend. I had been playing Paradise Lost as well, but around Wednesday it just felt kinda stale, so I dropped it.
They don't make games like this anymore.

Hilarious, gruesome, immature, and solid FPS
The logical endpoint to video games as 'escapist' entertainment argument, with exactly as much piss and shit as you would expect.
It's clunky and old. It's pointlessly provocative. It's comically edgy. It's incredibly tedious. It's programmed like dogass. It's one of the most fun and memorable PC games ever made.
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT THE SHOTGUN

The Trollface game.

good game
el juego chistoso donde puedes decir insultos raciales en la calle, el juego chistoso
This is a game that I should hate. It's humor is just lazy "offensive" jokes that never lands. Its buggy and scuffed to hell. And looks like someone threw up on a 3d modeling program. But by god do I love playing this game and indulging in its dumb fun. As the postal dude himself said,
"This can't be good for me, but I feel great!"
"This can't be good for me, but I feel great!"
This is like Duke Nukem Forever, except instead of throwwing poop you throw your piss

this game just gets worse and worse the more u think about it. its funny but its so insanely bland past that in every aspect. the weapon selection, gunplay, level design, the enemies, the objectives. practically the entire game is walking to go to a place and kill a bunch of people like there is literally nothing else to do. postal 1 is so much better because while the gunplay is kinda shit at least you dont have to walk between each level and the game is much shorter.
Stuff has been added since I last played, I think
