We Love It's Guide to…

POSTAL 2

You play as the POSTAL Dude, an ordinary man trying to get through a week of errands in the town of Paradise. Tasks include things like buying milk, returning a library book, and collecting a paycheck. The town is a large, open environment where you can explore and tackle each day's objectives at your own pace. You can follow the errands directly or wander, interact with residents, and let everyday encounters take unexpected turns. How much trouble you cause is up to you: errands can be approached peacefully or with violence, and residents may react to your choices. You can use weapons ranging from a shovel to firearms, bring along your dog Champ, and make use of unusual equipment and items; the game also supports community-made mods.

Spend a week as the POSTAL Dude, completing everyday errands across Paradise while choosing calm solutions or violent chaos.
