Overview
Description

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character brought to the breaking point when his home in Paradise, Arizona is unjustly repossessed. Believing the repossession is part of a demonic conspiracy to dominate humanity, he unleashes relentless vengeance across 17 distinct locations. Navigate through a small town to a heavily guarded military complex using a third-person premeditated perspective. Employ strategic combat tactics against armed locals in this intense indie action horror experience developed by Running With Scissors.
