A boring, buggy, mediocre at best game with barely a fraction of the edge, vulgarity, player freedom, and general fun factor of Postal 2. Any fun to be had with this game lasts about five minutes before it gets dull, due in part to the game having a open world with practically nothing to do other then kill NPCs and do missions, and the player doesn't have much incentive to explore said open world because it's not jam-packed with weapons and items that serve as rewards for exploration, which was a big part of what made Postal 2 fun. The player is often forced to play the game a certain way instead being free to play how they want like Postal 2. One such is example is Postal 4's the scooter racing mission, where the player is forced to participate in the race, and is permitted to use weapons to take out NPC racers. The comedy did get a few laughs out of me, but it lacks the shock humor, dark humor, and much of the satirical aspect of Postal 2, and relies too much on sex jokes and pop culture references. At times, it feels like it wasn't even made by the same developers as Postal 2, but rather, it was made by a different developer that was asked to make a Postal game by a publisher, which is ironically what basically happened with Postal 3, a game that RWS and much of the fan-base has actively disowned. To close, don't buy Postal 4. If you want to support the developers, buy Postal 2, or Postal Redux, or Postal: Brain Damaged, or buy the merchandise on their website, but don't Postal 4.

TL:DR This game is a worse version of Postal 2. Buy that game or another Postal game instead of this one if you haven't already.
