Postal 4 No Regerts. It is out of Early Access since April 20th. I can't say that I had high hopes for this title since the Tuesday update and the final product pretty much turned out as expected. I cannot say much else other than I am disappointed, a bit angry and I want my money back.

In any case, I hope you enjoy the review or at the very least get something informative out of it. If you are an RWS member reading this, I linked some Unreal 4 tutorials on the bottom of this description. You might need them.

5 Tips to Optimize Environments in Unreal Engine 4 - By Jakub Hałuszczak

This is a Unity plugin, so not applicable to Unreal, but it showcases another great optimization idea, which is billboards! Why render big f***ing buildings like the Tower across all maps, if it could just be a smart billboard? | Amplify Imposters - By Amplify Creations

This is a demo in the Source Engine, but it showcases a great optimization technique. Parallax corrected Cubemapping! You have great reflections which don't disappear or look broken like the SSR in Postal 4. If Source can do it, Unreal can too! | Parallax Corrected Cubemaps in the Source Engine - By BMCha

Here, I did some brainstorming for you. Of course these links here are somewhat intended as a little snarky jab at you but really; Postal 4, the way it looks right now, has no right to run as badly as it does. Try to at the very least make the game run at a smooth 60FPS. That is the least that can be expected.
