“This game is fun and good if it is on sale, and it's first person mod makes the original look as demo. I really liked committing genocide in the game, it was intense and the gore in this game was an art. People in this…”
“Amazing game, easy to beat and to blow off some steam, for the true hatred experience i recommend playing on insane.”
“I've owned the game for 12 minutes at the time of writing this review. After the third attempt on the President's life last night, I needed a game where I just got to walk around killing liberals. This game fits the…”

“This game has a nice art style, but it isn’t actually fun to play. It feels like it was made to be edgy and controversial more than anything else. Games like Manhunt and even Postal 2 are also controversial and…”

“Amazing gameplay especially with FPS mod. I have heard about it for years and wanted to buy it the second I realized FPS was possible! Best $5 you will spend in 2026. Quite comparable to the gore of Postal2 but with…”

“/Sorry for being really vague lol I have air in my head. TLDR; It has potential, not bad. If they ever made another game or sequel, it's not bad to go bolder and experiment/test more and so on (Whether the game was…”

“"It looks like Dark Alliance, but with more explosions and no color." My brother, halfway through the Sewers. But seriously, the game is a great run-and-shoot game to de-stress with. It plays heavy into the "2edgy4u"…”

“this game is actually so bad it hurts its so unnecessarily EDGYY its so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cringe it genuinely makes me want to kill myself.”
“The monologue intro is goated and got me into the game. This game scratches the itch of that edgelord feelin in me but that's pretty much it. Being a top down shooter it has a certain problems namely on the aim & cover…”

“absolutely awful. it's like if someone said "what if we make a game like postal?" but instead just made a worse version of postal. not fun, agonizing even boring, repetitive, npc's spawn from nowhere not even a hard…”

“Es un juego muy bueno y que cumple su propósito, más que nada sirve cuando uno tiene un mal día o una mala experiencia, o simplemente para desestresarse. Obviamente diferenciando el juego de la realidad, no hay que…”
“Poor controller support, and the biggest "enemy" is the level geometry. 90% of all (your) deaths will come from getting stuck on something while cursing and getting shot at. Also, frequent lost inputs. Mostly reloading…”

“Forces you to kill civs, and it's hard to tell which race they are, or if they're a liberal or not. Culling the pigs is alright but gets repetitive. Overall, not even worth the $2 I paid.”
“The Mc is annoying, the plot (if there is one really) is ass and the gameplay is only semi entertaining for the first 15 minutes. save your self the money and time and go get your self a decent meal instead.”

“The story is kind of weird, but the First Person Mod makes it actually playable.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“This game is actually fun if you want to turn off your brain, I really recommend the 1666 mod which offers first person amongst many other things. Exceptionally violent game but I love it!”
