This time around,with Postal Dude’s purple bathrobe, he’s less Hatred guy and more of a slacker-type-though the Postal Dude’s signature coat has been added with the latest update. You play as the Postal Dude–an unhinged, sometimes trench coat wearing psychopath that can just as easily decapitate passers-by with a shovel as, uh, pee on them. I don’t like to judge a game harshly in Early Access-it’s still in development, and what you’re playing isn’t its final form-but Postal 4: No Regerts is rough around the edges, to say the least. If I could name one game franchise that reminds me the most of Generation X, it would be Postal, and Postal 4: No Regerts feels like an aging uncle who can’t let go of the past, and snickers about fart jokes and making references to FTW-in this case, “fuck the world,” not “for the win.” And honestly, Postal 4: No Regerts’ strong Generation X humor is probably the best thing going for it-if that’s your thing. I’m not talking about graphics or controls-but more the sensibility, jokes, and style. Postal 4: No Regerts doesn’t really feel like a modern game to me. For those who are fans of the series, you might be happy to learn that the terrible Postal III has been retconned, and Postal 4: No Regerts has the type of irreverent humor and casual horrific violence that the series is known for. In fact, it released only a month or so after the original Grand Theft Auto with gameplay that resembled the controversial Hatred (remember that game?) more than its sillier sequels. Some would argue that it’s one of the original controversial games, especially in the open world.
