Critic Reviews
- The inaccuracy of your guns and their muted damage makes ammo management almost impossible, while the larger hitboxes create far too many missed shots and accidental deaths. The result isn't a terrible game since there's still some grim fun to be had, but there are certainly better shooter titles out there unless you're set on experiencing the shooters of yesteryear.
Cody Medellin · Aug 20, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Postal Redux is a great definitive version of a subversive late nineties classic that men of a certain age can wistfully look back on as a naughty pleasure from adolescence. Still, returning veterans and new players alike will notice that this 24 year old game can only be polished so far and there’s a janky lack of refinement in the core gameplay.
Jonathan Trussler · Apr 09, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - 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.
Richard Seagrave · Mar 16, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Having a game like this on a Nintendo platform is enough to give Howard Lincoln and Tipper Gore a coronary, but don’t expect it to be an actually good game. It’s ugly, its gameplay is underwhelming, and its sound design makes me thankful for the invention of a mute button. It goes to show that Postal is only remembered for its controversy, not its quality, or lack thereof.
Leo Faria · Oct 16, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you enjoyed the original Postal, then you can enjoy it all over again with some updated visuals, sounds and some added content. Running With Scissors have also promised to continue to add more content (including levels and modes) for free. However, if you’re here because you enjoy isometric, twin-stick shooter games and wonder if this would be right for you, I can assure you, there are better options available.
Alex Everatt · Jun 14, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - 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.
David Strack · May 28, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As a longtime fan, Postal Redux is an extreme disappointment. While everything about the brand has left an impression on me thus far, this just warranted a shrug and a disappointed sigh. For a game that’s supposed to shock, offend, and stir controversy, that’s a letdown.
Elias Blondeau · Jun 02, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - El Redux ideal debería con escenarios en tiempo real o animaciones con más vida e interacción, pero no se nos escapa que Running With Scissors es un estudio indie –pese a su veteranía- al que no se puede exigir mucho más. Queda patente su presupuesto desde el menú inicial, a medio camino de proyecto amateur y de homenaje al macarrismo gore que se gasta.
Ramón Varela · May 22, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Postal Redux è uno dei giochi più brutali e crudi della storia. Rigiocarlo in questo periodo storico e in questa versione remastered non restituisce sicuramente le stesse emozioni dell'epoca ed in più non è stato fatto un buon lavoro di svecchiamento.
Gianluca Scattarella · Apr 09, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Postal Redux ha dei miglioramenti evidenti rispetto all'originale del 1997, primo fra tutti il sistema di controllo che finalmente rende giustizia al gioco. Ovviamente i contenuti potrebbero dare fastidio a qualcuno, anche se va detto che qui l'atmosfera non è esasperata come in Hatred e, soprattutto, che a differenza che con il clone, giocandoci rischiate di divertirvi.
