I thought Postal 2 was just another ridiculous game where you walk around causing chaos because the developers thought it would be funny. I was wrong. The graphics are dated. The gameplay looks chaotic. The world feels completely unhinged. And somehow, that's exactly the point. You start out thinking you're just going to mess around for a few minutes. Then you realize the game is giving you an absurd amount of …

It's one of the best post 9/11 commentaries I've seen, it's offensive but it comes from a place of making fun of everything and everyone in Bush's America, it mocks both the far right and the far left, all from the perspective of a anarchistic, violent degenerate with an eternally full bladder just trying to survive until the end of the week. What more could an edgy teenager want?

I kicked Osama bin Laden in the balls and pissed on him, 10/10 greatest game to ever touch steam.

The ultimate stress-reliever that still holds up today. There’s nothing quite like coming home after a long, exhausting day and just venting your frustrations by whacking the first person you see with a shovel. It’s mindless, chaotic fun at its best. Plus, I’ve loved this game since I was a kid—especially for the legendary ability to pee on everything and everyone. It’s crude, it’s offensive, and it’s exactly what …

97% of the 264 Steam reviewers we collected recommend POSTAL 2. The complaint that keeps coming up: humor feels overly edgy and outdated. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Postal 2 received "mixed or average reviews" according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Some of the game's better reviews came from PC Gamer and Game Informer. On the other end of the spectrum, GMR and Computer Gaming World (CGW) both gave Postal 2 scores of zero, with CGW deriding Postal 2 as "the worst product ever foisted upon consumers." In response, negative quotes from Computer Gaming World's review ended up being proudly displayed on the box art of the Postal Fudge Pack. CNN journalist Marc Saltzman wrote that the game was "more offensive than fun" and concluded that "it simply goes too far, too often, and offers little else." GameSpot criticized the game's loading times,…

60 of 544 · most liked firstSometimes I read that "Postal 2" is a bad game. But in that game you can piss on a donut, leave it in the middle of a street, and a cop will find it, eat it, and then throw up. So objectively it's the *best* game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very realistic. Went out, pissed on a guy, shoved a gun up a cats butt, then I went home and played this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game can't be good for me, but I feel great. This stuff is addictive and the funny thing is, I don't even like videogames. I should stop playing this crap, but you know what? I regret nothing. Now, are you gonna like this stupid review, or will it be your surviving family members?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Today we celebrate the 22nd birthday of the game that put us on the map, the game that gave a middle finger to pearl clutchers and the game that taught people to have no regrets. 22 years of fun, piss and no regrets. Happy birthday POSTAL 2.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unironically excited for POSTAL 2 coming to PSVR2! That game is such a childish edgy piece of shit, yet the world is weirdly magic. I just wanna hang out by the creek and rundown factory

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't care about how vulgar and edgy your game is, if it has decent mechanics, a good weapon arsenal, and a flexible mission structure, I like your game either way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So basically i found a shovel, knocked some poor bastard's door down, decapitated him and his wife, pissed on their corpses and then i used their cat as a silencer to mow down innocent fellow civilians on the streets with an assault rifle, after that i came back home and bought the game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My blank check game is just making a successor to Postal 2 thats actually good and remembers the central joke of the game is that its boring as shit but theres something awful behind every closed door.
negative · AI labelView post →Postal 2 is racist, vulgar, misogynistic, excessively violent, and over all a horrendous experience. In other words, its pretty much the best game ever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →smoked crack in front of a police officer and pulled my ♥♥♥♥ out to piss in his mouth then I downloaded postal 2 and did the same thing in game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →deadass the postal dude is the only man i'd let ♥♥♥♥ me also you can piss on cops so uhh yeah this game is pretty based
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →might be the best game that came out before HL2. You like pissing? Postal 2 has it. You like making people sign petitions? and pissing on the people who don't sign them? Postal 2 has it. You like Gary Coleman? and pissing on Gary Coleman? Postal has it. Simply a good game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game for the kids! You can create rainbows and bounce on clouds!!! The leprechaun mission was a little PG-13, but other than that it was a great game to play with the whole family!!!! DO NOT, I repeat: DO. NOT. feed the bunny on Thursday. NO MATTER WHAT! 9.7/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →People crying about how controversial and brutal this game is has done nothing and we can still enjoy this classic to this day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game helped me get over my dog's death, nice bone coloring, it even has a watermark, i genuinely do not like other people, strongly recommended
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is a kind of person who tells a joke that receives positive feedback, then proceeds to repeat the joke at every opportunity until everyone around grows tired of it. RWS is essentially the company equivalent of that person. They've been milking the series for decades at this point, despite the decreasing relevance of the humor in it. Do yourself a favor and stop your introduction to the series at the second game. Flawed though it is, it was novel at the time.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still holds up well for a game that's over 20 years old. If you've got a sick sense of humor and feel like revisiting a time-capsule of the early 2000s, you'll love the writing in this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best FPS out there. Darkly comedic, product of a time where offensive humor was still accepted and didn't get you canceled.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is peak, and I say that after 16 hours of playing and finishing 2 full playthroughs of Postal 2. I went into it expecting a simple shock value game from the early 2000s, but after spending real time with it I can say it is the best ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game I have ever played. Postal 2 drops you into the town of Paradise with a basic goal for each day of the week, and that goal sounds simple on paper. You need to buy milk, return a library book, pick up a paycheck, or grab something from a store.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Postal 2 is one of those rare sequels that completely changes the tone of its predecessor while still kind of managing to feel like a natural evolution. It went from psychological horror and its disturbing descent into madness to dark comedy with absurd violence and satire on the state of the United States. What made the game so good is how open the gameplay is in its chaotic world. Nearly every objective can be approached in different orders for every given day. This game also allows players…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a game about doing errands and smoking crack 10/10 amazing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I kicked a dude in the balls, pissed on him then proceeded to flip off a police officer. Anyways after that I came home to play the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know why Postal 2 takes pride of place in GOG's banned game collection. why not put south park in there too while youre at it
neutral · AI labelView post →got to Chinatown of Vampire the Masquerade and boy howdy does the writing of the game go from "wow this holds up really well, the dialogue choices and characters are pretty good despite it being 20 years old" to "this is maybe the most casually racist game I've played since Postal 2" whoops
neutral · AI labelView post →Went for milk, got stabbed, peed on half of Paradise, confessed my sins, killed some Taliban, got kidnapped by a cult into a gimp suit. Loved every second. 10/10 best experience ever.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a fun game that is not supposed to be taken seriously. The humor still holds up today. Crashes way too much during loading screens though.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the game on sale, and it's been really fun. Currently going through the last achievement. Absolutely would recommend to anyone. Also haha funny number

What a great life of a white dude. DLC? YEAH MAN MY BRAIN IS JUST SPINNING, I WENT CRAZY. EVEN MORE POEPLE HATE ME. This game is peak cinema from the past, great soundtrack, great visuals, lot's of fun and gore. This hits every spot. Go for it. 10/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best way to handle a bad Monday Honestly, this game is a classic for a reason. It’s janky, it’s politically incorrect, and the graphics are definitely from another era. But the freedom is unmatched! One minute you’re just trying to buy some milk or return a library book, and the next thing you know, the whole town is in an uproar because you accidentally stepped on someone's lawn. It’s pure, unadulterated chaos. If you don't take life too seriously and want to explore a town that's even…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Went out to buy milk. Ended up fighting cops, cultists and my own sanity. Janky, offensive chaotic masterpiece. This game should not exist and that’s why it’s amazing. 10/10 Would commit those crimes in RL.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I still think the funniest loophole under the ACB is that I can't legally own a physical copy of Postal 2, but I can own a digital copy through Steam etc. Like if it's a banned game shouldn't it be fully unattainable in Australia?
neutral · AI labelView post →Decided to make time for #Godot #GodotEngine #SoloDev #IndieDev #GameDev Pickup is now more Postal 2 style on the ground with correct collision shape. Enemy collision shape has been sorted (might change it a little when introducing headshots). Have other bits and pieces to do but I’m back!

negative · AI labelView post →There used to be an old arcade-themed game show called Starcade that G4 played reruns of, and I drew a picture of the host in 2000s era nu-metal fashion making a kid play Postal 2, and apparently I really upset a bunch of people who personally knew the guy

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite lifting the ban over 10 years ago, Australia has officialy delisted POSTAL 2 on Steam. Those who already own the game won't be affected by this change. Those who don't can still buy the game from our website.
