I love this game.

This game is a solid 10/10.

There is so much to do in POSTAL 2, as it is a sandbox game.
You can go about a normal life, become a police officer, plan mass murders, stealth your way around the town of Paradise. You can make this game more than it is.

I adore the graphic style of this game. The colors are vibrant and everything has character. I feel like I'm walking about in a old, stuck in the past, run down town. The music is fitting and comedic at times. The metal part of the soundtrack is really well done, it sounds like a symphonic version of Death or Obituary. The 90's lounge music also takes me back and fit the retail areas with ease.

This game is atmospheric, and I love it. It's such a great game, and the visuals hold up today.

The gameplay is satisfying to say the least. The combat is responsive and unique. Messing around with each gun is rewarding in its own right. The fire mechanics in this game are annoying though.

Only problem is that the game isn't well optimized to Windows 10. This game runs way better on my 2008 Windows 7 Acer laptop then it has on my Win10 desktop. If you tweak the settings just right, the framerate will seem to stay above 60 FPS.

The humor behind the game brightens the mood a lot. I love the dark humor RWS wrote up for this gem. The workshop also adds a lot. Guns, maps, whatever. You'll be stuck on this game for weeks. Stay away from the multiplayer, it's not the best.


PROS:
- Graphic style that still holds up today.
- Great soundtrack.
- Responsive gameplay.
- Variety of things to do.
- Workshop
- Dark humor.

CONS:
- Poor optimization on newer systems.
- Crap multiplayer.
