Defunct Games reviews Postal Redux by Running With Scissors, available now on Switch and previously available on PC and Mac.
Twenty-three years after becoming a lightning rod for controversy, Switch owners will finally have a chance to cause total carnage in Postal. While the gameplay could use some tweaking and there are too many cheap hits, this updated remake shows that the original game holds up surprisingly well. It's filled with the kind of fun and diverse level designs that we don't always get in this type of dual-stick shooter, and I especially like the six new stages that take us to Japan. It still has most of the same problems that plagued it back in 1997, but Postal Redux makes a strong case that the original game had a lot more going for it than just controversy.
