Parent Pro-Tip

This game features extreme and often gratuitous violence, including violence against defenseless characters, strong language, and some drug references. It is not suitable for children or easily disturbed individuals. Parents should be aware of the mature content and the potential for desensitization to violence.

What your child develops

POSTAL Redux can offer some limited benefits in hand-eye coordination and reaction time due to its fast-paced twin-stick shooter gameplay. The cooperative multiplayer mode can also provide a rudimentary social benefit through teamwork, though this is primarily focused on coordinated violence.
