Get personalized picks →Postal III is a third-person action game released in 2012 by Trashmasters and Zoom Platform, continuing the series' tradition of dark comedy with a shift from open-world freedom to a mission-based structure. Players navigate a linear progression through objectives as the Postal Dude, with moral choices influencing how scenarios unfold alongside standard NPC behavior systems. The game received poor critical reception with a 24 on Metacritic and 39% positive Steam reviews, though players describe the experience as dark, unsettling, and at times challenging. Reviewers highlight Corey Cruises' performance as carrying much of the experience and note the free soundtrack as a standout element, while the story draws mixed but sufficient engagement to complete. Priced at $5.99, it runs as a playable experience on Steam Deck.
About Postal III: Good or Insane? The choice is yours. Following the Apocalyptic end to the Postal Dude’s week in Paradise, we follow him and his insane pitbull Champ as they emigrate to its appropriately named sister city, Catharsis.
