Postal: Redux

MonsterVineSpencer Legacy

Postal Guy’s voice is fantastic, as there’s a reason it’s become so iconic to hear Postal Guy say the edgiest stuff with his gloriously mellow voice. Some of the random quotes from civilians can be pretty fun too, as they’re delivered with more than enough ham to be entertaining. The visuals are mixed, as it can be hard to navigate the geography of certain stages due to the fairly flat artstyle.

Postal Redux is a brief, but decently fun twin stick shooter with some fitting ambience. It will help kill small amounts of time, but the short campaign will be over well before you know it and longer enjoyment of the game will depend on you getting into the Rampage score attack mode.

Thanks to its budget price, Postal Redux may well be worth checking out if you’re a fan of twin-stick shooters and have the stomach for it – its atmosphere makes it wholly unique. It is undoubtedly dated though, and doesn’t try to do anything interesting other than shock you. Will it succeed? Probably – it can be quite a harrowing game if you think about it too much. Kick back and accept it for what it is, however – a video game – and some enjoyment can be had.

As a game, it… works, and that’s really all I can say about it. If you’ve played a dual-stick shooter before, then you’ve played Postal. The base gun is a machine gun that does so little damage that it’s all-but useless, and there are a number of other weapons you can pick up along the way that has limited ammunition, but can dish out plenty of damage. There’s virtually no subtlety to the action. You’ll run into an area, clear it of enemies, before taking a moment’s breather and then running on to the next section. Enemies exhibit no meaningful AI in how they attack and work to…

POSTAL Redux brings the original controversial shooter to arguably the most family-friendly of consoles. Remastered visuals, expanded content, and new portability means that there are many new things for returning fans, but anything that could be viewed in a positive light is marred by the offensive content that's advertised and encouraged. Who is this game for?
