Postal Redux is a good almost one to one remake of the original game. The new visuals look great and the game runs well. It’s an isometric shooter which is different from all the entries after this one but this still works for the franchise. Shooting feels nice and gun variety is very good especially considering this game will take you under 4 hours. Even though your base starting SMG has infinite ammo it’s weak and the other guns being better even in different situations encourages you to use different guns often. Rocket launcher and AA-12 were the most useful to me and the AA-12 was my favorite weapon in the game. Grenades are good but probably could’ve had a better system to aim them because it’s not hard to accidentally miss. Fire is very effective but you have to be careful to not set yourself on fire because it does massive damage perhaps to much damage. I do like that you can run into others while on fire to set them on fire. The dialogue is really edgy and funny because of how over the top it is. Even though the edginess of it can be funny at times the game is less humorous and way more dark than Postal 2 and onwards. The music and on screen text in between missions sets a very dark tone and atmosphere. The soundtrack was great and fits the game perfectly. The atmosphere is top tier and one of my favorite parts of the game. The story is simple but the text in between levels lets you get a better look into Postal dudes mind unlike a game like Hatred. The executions are fun to pull off but don’t serve any in game purpose besides giving you satisfaction. The gore is nice especially considering it’s an isometric game. Level design is fine but can get pretty repetitive, this wasn’t the hugest issue for me considering the game isn’t long and doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Level design isn’t bad but don’t expect it to blow you away or be anything special. At times they do attempt to set up interesting paths and change levels around a bit to make things more interesting but this only helps so much. A complaint I have is random difficulty spikes with random levels being open with less cover and more enemies while others have more cover and less enemies. They should’ve paced the difficulty better by making enemy counts gradually go up and saving the harder map layouts for later. Overall the difficulty spikes are not bad enough to significantly affect the experience. Only major change from the original is the ending which is still good but overall a worse ending than the original. Overall I really enjoyed the game and can recommend it to isometric shooter fans but I will warn the games very dark and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up especially if you partake in the killing of non hostiles and reading the text in between missions.

Bought it for less than a dollar, and it's peak! You get the soundtrack along with the game. Plus, if you play enough, you'll get trading cards you can sell later. I'm impressed, RWS.
