2.1
Probably not, though. Postal III’s lack of self-awareness is most agonisingly evident when it tries to be self-aware,....If you’re going to be offensive, you need a point. This has none, either as satire, commentary, videogame or comedy

About
The third edition of the comically violent, seriously violent, and just plain violent videogame series. This time out, you can lead your gun-toting character towards a variety of different life paths, including a serial killer, an activist gone eco-terrorist, and, most vile of all, a presidential candidate. A wide array of celebrity performances are used to bring the sick and crazy game to life, while the Source engine provides the power behind the game's social satire and politically incorrect virtual violence.

Critic reviews
- Even moving beyond the immature, purposefully offensive sense of humor, there’s nothing redeeming about Postal III’s frustrating, buggy gameplay,....Unless your standards for fun are absurdly low, nothing that can rightfully be called "entertainment" is present here
- 3.5Potential exists within the franchise, but the developers have missed the mark this time. As a person who generally enjoys edgy humour, I found Postal 3 to be distasteful. The proverbial line is crossed constantly and instead of being funny, it comes off as disturbing. From top to bottom, Postal 3 is largely a game you should avoid.
- 3.0On top of the defective gameplay and barely functional AI (which makes the few escort missions excruciatingly bad), this is an ugly and unstable game. Homely character models, rough textures, and ungainly animations paired with visual bugs and intermittent crashes add technical deficiency to the long list of flaws
- 5.5It's hard to imagine anyone not being offended by Postal III. That's a big selling point for some folks, but the uninspired gameplay and serious technical glitches all but kill this dark, occasionally humorous, and extreme exercise in freedom of expression
- Tout aussi subversif mais sans doute moins glauque et moins dérangeant que son prédécesseur, Postal III remplit parfaitement son rôle d'exutoire cathartique, où l'ultra-violence le dispute au mauvais goût. Mais on aurait bien aimé qu'il soit aussi un vrai jeu, avec de vraies missions, un vrai moteur graphique et une jouabilité décente
