Postal 2 is one of those rare sequels that completely changes the tone of its predecessor while still kind of managing to feel like a natural evolution. It went from psychological horror and its disturbing descent into madness to dark comedy with absurd violence and satire on the state of the United States. What made the game so good is how open the gameplay is in its chaotic world. Nearly every objective can be approached in different orders for every given day. This game also allows players to behave like a relatively normal citizen or go full postal upon the town of Paradise. Combined with the amazing soundtrack and surprisingly entertaining plot the game definitely remains enjoyable even in current day. It goes without saying that this game is far from perfect. It has annoying loading areas and tends to crash which may or may not hinder your progress. Some parts of the game especially in Apocalypse Weekend feel noticeably rough due to budget cuts. Even so the sheer freedom it offers makes it easy to overlook many of its shortcomings. The game is still worth its price, if you ever feel like you're bored try playing this. It definitely had me laughing at how ridiculous it got at times.
