Postal 4: No Regerts thrusts toward week’s end with today’s meaty “Thursday Update” on Steam Early Access for PC. Postal 4: No Regerts is the long-awaited true sequel to what’s been fondly dubbed as "The Worst Game Ever", Postal 2! (No third game is known to exist.) What untold prospects lie within? Fame? Fortune? Maybe a bidet or two? Edensin awaits. However, on the horizon, the duo glimpses an unfamiliar and dazzling town that beckons to them. After a fortuitous gas station rest stop ends with their car, trailer home, and the rest of their worldly possessions stolen, all the Dude’s seemingly got left to his name is his canine cohort and his bathrobe, and neither of them smells all that great. The only two to walk away from the cataclysm unscathed, the hapless everyman known as the Postal Dude and his loyal companion Champ, drive aimlessly through the scorching deserts of Arizona looking for a new place to call home. With any luck, the developers might have the chance to put out a sequel in the coming years.Several years have passed since the events that devastated the once proud town remembered as Paradise. Notably, the lack of a proper PS5 version (though it still runs through backwards compatibility) might indicate a lack of adequate focus or funding.

However, the release onto the PS4 might spell an unofficial send off for the game. Think Sunset Overdrive meets Metal Slug, then add some originality. Whether battling bosses or demon minions, the game’s lighthearted tone keeps the experience enjoyable.

The world players enter is full of hours of content in this vibrant top-down shooter. The wacky premise, seeing you assume control of The Postal Dude, is just the start. The game is now regarded as a minor classic, and is now available on the PlayStation Store for $10Ĭommercial troubles aside, we maintain that Postal Redux is something of an overlooked gem. The developers, it seems, suddenly received the support needed to fulfil their goal: release Postal Redux for the PS4. The Switch version enjoys strong sales, possibly owing to its younger demographic. This 2020 release onto a popular handheld console seemed to revive the project. The game continued to remain on the PC, and just recently got its port onto the Nintendo Switch. They scrapped the PS4 version of the game ahead of launch, even after months of hard work. It also didn’t help that the developers at the time lacked brand recognition that a larger game studio would have enjoyed.įinally, that same year, Running With Scissors decided to cut their losses. It wasn’t that bad of a game, in our opinion, but it didn’t stand out. But many critics tore into the game’s overreliance upon familiar game mechanics and lackluster writing. There was some praise given to the gameplay, the controls and the art style. Portal Redux became an utter flop on the PC, with poor sales coupled with mixed reviews upon launch. And those projections, sadly, were unfavorable. Luckily for them, this move inadvertently served as a gauge for the game’s financial projections.

However, developers Running With Scissors fortuitously decided to launch the PC version first, for some reason.

The game’s announcement included explicit mentions of it coming to both Windows PC and the PS4. The real reason Postal Redux never made it to the PS4 until now is PC version salesīack in 2017, when the PlayStation 4 was the most powerful console in the world, expectations were high. Surely Sony would’ve benefitted from yet another brilliant exclusive, in a bid to outdo the Xbox One? While Postal Redux did not break much new ground, it was still a terrific game in its own right. Why did a graphically-simple game that even the Nintendo Switch could easily run not make it onto the acclaimed PS4? After all, the game had received exclusivity rights for Sony, meaning Microsoft could not release an Xbox version. You might be wondering what exactly went wrong. In fact, when the game released for PC all the way back in 2017, it was also slated for Sony’s console too. However, the truly odd bit of this news is that Postal Redux was supposed to launch on the PS4 ages ago.
This follows the recent addition of the title to the Nintendo Switch a few months ago. The PS4 version of the game has finally, and surprisingly, made its way onto the PlayStation Store. This is certainly true in the case of underrated classic Postal Redux. Sometimes, things happen when you least expect them.
