2022HyperstrangePlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch

Well I’ll be damned. Postal is now a Boomer Shooter?! Postal: Brain Damaged is a spin-off taking the most outrageous FPS series of all time into a different, skill-based, retro-shooter direction. The Dude’s about to deal some damage!

What it feels like

Fast-paced, skill-based boomer shooter gameplay delivers kinetic thrills and flow. The Postal series gleefully disrespects taboo; this spin-off maintains that irreverent, boundary-pushing tone. The Postal series is known for deadpan surreal comedy and nonsensical humor; this continues that tradition.
