“Pissed on a dude he signed my petition. And gave a doughnut with piss on it. The cop eat i it and threw up. And I decided to go home and download this game. (10 out of 10 game should recommend)”
“This game is awesome because it's either to promote patience or violent emotional outbursts”
“Honestly only tried this out since it was on sale and recognized it from the memes/infamous petition chore. The game is still unique even two decades later after its release with not much really coming close to its…”

“Postal 2 still never ceases to amaze me to this day. Costing less than a chocolate bar, averaging ~$1 on sale, it is one of the best games I have ever played. Hands down. This game has hilarious humour and will…”
“an enjoyable classic. this game after all the years its been alive is worth the whole playthrough from the start to even paradise lost. the content inside this game is practically absurd as the hdark humor and gore. the…”

“Feels a lot too much like it relies on generic "ooooh look blood and gore and controversial stuff oooh" instead of fun gameplay. Map kinda sucks, the graphics haven't aged well in the slightest, hitting shots feels a…”
“I want to say before I say anything else: controversy for controversy sakes is a lame practice that ultimately holds back games that can be truly great, changing, experiences. I do really want to love Postal. It's…”

“People crying about how controversial and brutal this game is has done nothing and we can still enjoy this classic to this day.”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“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…”
