The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

      The studio that makes those games, makes the best in their genre and is somehow punching above their weight. I got Elderborn too after playing Postal Brain Damaged and was impressed.

      Everybody likes different genres, and this one probably wouldn’t be mine, but it was entrancing and I basically immediately poured all my free time into it too. Totally worth the buy.

        These days I’m more of a boomer shooter dude, but the trailer hooked me and I regret nothing. Haven’t tried the newest Postal yet. Played postal 2 back in the day. blood west is likely next up for me.

        Devs like Hyperstrange and New Blood are killing it these days, in a time when the big devs are laying off entire teams. It’s amazing what happens when you have smaller devs who are focused on the games and not chasing number-go-up.

        As New Blood says, “We love you. We hate money.”

          I only played Postal Brain Damaged because I liked 2 so much, and that’s how I found out about boomer shooters to begin with!

          As for Postal 4… Would not recommend. Sadly.
