POSTAL 1 has the best aesthetic and the most consistent focus throughout any of the games in the series, so much so that even its remake loses a bit of the charm of the original. not by much, the music and the art are all still there, but it's worth at least considering.

the gameplay on the other hand is rather basic, shoot all the people that are shooting at you to unlock the ability to press F1 and move to the next level. why do you need to press F1? who knows! the loop isn't bad in itself, and the game does try its best to at least spice things up visually with some levels being isometric and others being top-down, but ultimately each level plays more or less the same.

it's an unfortunate case where everything about the game except the gameplay itself is interesting/enjoyable, but at least the everything else is wild enough that it pushed me to keep going. if you want a more refined version of the game, the remaster is better suited for that.

also whoever thought of some of the conditions for these achievements should be ashamed
