How to Decide
Postal is a cult‑classic, retro‑styled isometric shooter from Running With Scissors that appeals to fans of dark, strategic single‑player action. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Infamous leans into a super‑powered open‑world narrative with moral choices; Painkiller emphasizes fast‑paced, horror‑themed first‑person combat with extensive weapon variety; Red Faction: Guerrilla is chosen for its large, destructible open‑world environment and co‑op vehicle combat; Fallout 3 stands out with its deep role‑playing systems and VATS‑based tactical shooting; Painkiller: Resurrection is notable for its gothic storyline and versatile alternative fire modes for every weapon.
When weighing Postal against these options, focus on (1) the core gameplay perspective – isometric tactical shooting versus first‑person or open‑world third‑person combat; (2) narrative depth and player agency – moral branching, role‑playing choices, or linear story; (3) multiplayer availability and mode – single‑player only, co‑op, or deathmatch; (4) environmental interaction – static locales, destructible worlds, or puzzle‑driven maps; and (5) pricing model consistency – all are one‑time purchases, so value hinges on the breadth of content each delivers.

“Open‑world, dark‑humor shooter with similar satirical violence, though in an isometric style.”
