The structure of the original game is that it is set over a week, in which the player must try to do the mundane errands the Dude must undertake and find ways to escape when they go wrong, Often they go wrong violently so and without any reason the Dude can be held at fault for. Paradise Lost is set ten years after the events of Apocalypse Weekend, where the Dude wakes up from a coma to discover his dog Champ is missing and heads back into Paradise to find him before leaving it behind for good. Whether he becomes a madman or remains as saintly as is possible in his terrible world is up to you. Unfortunately, he lives in Paradise, Arizona, an ironically named town where something as simple as getting his paycheck becomes a nightmare of mayhem that tempts him to go Postal. You play as The Postal Dude (his literal name), a guy who just wants to get through his week with as little hassle as possible. While it's still a somewhat janky game even as of 2022, it's worth playing, albeit only if you are not easily offended. In this open-world game, you can choose to be a saint or a madman, doing things even games like Grand Theft Auto would draw the line at if you choose to go Postal. Of all the games that have stoked the fires of moral outrage, Postal 2 has to be the apogee of them all. Paradise Lost is accessed via the same game start options as the base game via a popup menu, this review will factor in the content for both with this in mind. Multiplayer is officially unsupported and thus will not be addressed by this review. Note: This review is based on the Steam release with all expansions including Paradise Lost, and all officially included content will thus be evaluated for the moral score.
