This game generated immense controversy at the time of its release due to its psychopathic theme, but that's all it really achieved, being controversial.
What a bad game. The visibility in this game is awful, making the game in black and white was a very bad idea, some enemies simply pop out of your field of vision and kill you, the camera is a joke, the game simply fails at everything it tries to do.

- Poor graphics (It's hard to see anything)
- Terrible NPC AI (Innocents should be running away from me, not towards me)
- No story at all
- Clunky gameplay
- Bad respawning system
- Very bland and repetitive
It's fun for an hour or two but it gets repetitive really quick. I feel life the devs should have put a little more effort into this game. The gore concept was really interesting.

I really don't understand the reactions to this game and it being super disturbing. Like yeah it's original premise is quite a bit more disturbing than what most gamers are used to, but upon playing the game it really isn't that bad in that respect. Since the game is mostly black and white, there isn't as much graphic detail in the kills. The executions are all quite fast too. I've seen much more gory kills in many other games though. Not to say that this game isn't violent, because it absolutely is, it's just there are more violent games out there. To me, this game is about as disturbing as you can get before ending up on a list. The only reason I would call this game more disturbing than something like GTA is because there you aren't encouraged to kill civilians, whereas here you are. My main gripes with this game come from it's gameplay. I'm not going to say the camera angle and control scheme hurt the gameplay too much, as it just takes a bit of getting used to. Or maybe it's just me trying to get used to PC gaming as a whole. Though, I would've definitely preferred this game to be a tactical third-person-shooter. The only reason this game becomes tactical is because of the absurd amount of enemies at some of the points, and the respawn system is a bit strange too. However, it was nice to play a reverse horror game like this. The main character in this game is terrifying. His hatred for all things human and blank attitude make him more scary than most horror villains, as well as the fact that this guy feels more real than a demon or ghost. Overall, an decent, surprisingly fun game with a lot of apparent flaws.
I dunno man, this was just kinda disappointing. For a game all about the Edge™, I was hoping that the guns and combat would feel better than Postal 1 on DOS. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Some parts are pretty easy to cheese, I only found the game fun when Hatred V1.666 came out. This is a mod that gives it a first person perspective, color, and a LOT more edge. It was actually a fun romp this time around, but still felt kinda lackluster. I wouldn't recommend it.
