    I created a pair of post offices, staffed them, bought them vehicles and a few amenities, set routes and fixed prices. All of that took roughly ten minutes. I spent the next 50 minutes doing other things in real life. I cooked some soup, put together a decent sandwich (it even had some lemon zest in it), made a banana split, went to the bathroom, and got some things from my car that I'd forgotten earlier in the day. The whole time, the game was at 3x speed. I occasionally hit "ok" on the dialog…

    The potential is there, but the implementation is very lacking. The UI is very clunky, and the game is at once very micro-mangement intensive while making it hard to actually monitor status and figure out what needs to be done. Feels unpolished.

    While not as open world as Transport Tycoon or as expansive as SimCity, Post Master has a lot going for it in the business simulation world. Post Master is a great game from a publisher turned developer. If you ever thought about running your own post office, or are sure you can do better than your local post office, give Post Master a try. See my full review at: http://youtu.be/7x8o3PAQM1c

    ******* Adding this on 6-Jan-2015****** Game seems to be abandoned by the dev, no more updates, so yea... no patches, no fixes, no updates, nothing... So you should consider that before buying this game.. If you ask for my suggestion about to buy it or not, I'd still buy it, but at hell big discount, like 90% at least. This is the link to their first ever, and last seen update http://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791435159972/announcements/detail/1424570746448987052 This is the link for their…

    Post Master is an intriquing game. You have the ability to run your own privately ran post service much of the likes of UPS and FedEx. You start out in a medium sized post office in a small commercial city and you're trying your best to get your mail service up and running by getting workers for your post office, a fleet of vehicles, and their routes assigned. The game starts out slow though as you're only running a limited amount of routes and trying to invest in infastructure to increase your…

    This feels like an in-browser flash game and I would play the hell out of this game 7 to 10 years ago. The tutorial is patronizing and slapped together, but at the same time, makes the most basic spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. I mean, if you want to show every person who plays your game that you really don't give a rat's ass, do exactly that. I played the game on normal difficulty first time through and it was like sucker-punching a toddler. Did I win? Yes. Was it satisfying?…

    Fun for the first hours, than you quickly realize "how to play" this game and you are left with a boring game that lacks any depths. The UI is terrible and requires so many clicks to setup a Post Office, making you wonder if it is really a Steam game or just a mobile game. There is no campaigns, no different scenarios, no customization (you can buy air conditioners, plants...but only in the same spot in all your Post Offices,lol...), no late-game (there are only post offices, forget about…

    This game advertized itself as some sort of super realistic, amazing, revolutionary game. It was not. This game has incredibly repetitive gameplay. Unlike games like prison architect, this game only has one thing to do: buy trucks and deliver mail. This game would be ok if it were a 99 cent mobile game but is in no way worth $14.99 though I have seen games worse than this before, this was the first of the terrible games that I was tricked into buying via false advertizing. Do not buy this…

    Post Master is a game that I can't recommend because: - it's not worth the money - it is boring - it has big grammar problems - it has bugs - the graphics are pretty bad - the only good reason to install this game is for the trading cards

Build and expand your postal service enterprise, opening offices and managing staff, vehicles and service coverage while competing with other organizations. ⚙ Game Description & Mechanics ⚙ You start with a single post office, and can open additional offices as new locations periodically become available.

    I was enjoying the game until I realized how much clicking I was doing later once you become established. Sadly there is no form of ease of use menu management it is point and click each item indivualy and repeat whenever you want to add a new vehicle. There is no buy X amount or saved vehicle settings for creating a new vehicle. The simplest way to fix this is to have a menu specificly for the different type of mail vehicles have a global < local < individual settings. Where the global and…

    Okay. Where to start... Graphics: Very simple, cartoony buildings and landscapes. The game almost looks like a slightly polished SimCity 2k, right down to the building models. It's uncanny. In the large post office garages, the vehicle interaction and information tabs actually go outside the border of the building screen, and can be hard to see with the city in the background. Audio: Not a lot of variety in the background music loop. Note the singular noun there. It all sounds the…

    Nice idea but lacks complexity. Possibly one of the most shallow tycoon type games ive ever played. You can pretty much unlock and have done everything within the first day. After that its just increasing the size of your business which seems to be free to do whatever it wants as theres no competition. Somewhat disappointing.

    Decent simulator. It lacks the depth of other games in the genre, but the gameplay in this title is straightforward and never feels clunky or unfair. If you like the "tycoon" genre, this is a good, simple, variant.

    fastest gameplay speed is so painfully slow that a single day in the simulation takes real-time what seems like a half hour or more. And, after the workday ends, the clock continues to slowly increment instead of switching to the next day. It doesn't have much depth, but I wouldn't mind that as long as I could actually play the game. Instead, it feels like a screensaver after the first ten minutes. Perhaps if the game devs address the speed issue I will play it again, but as of right now it…

    The only good thing that I can say about this game is that it makes me want to return to Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (or OpenTTD, if you will) which is FREE, unlike this heap of junk.

    A proper mail-bussiness simulator. Although the game has a somewhat small scope, it offers me the critical 'fun' part (in contrast to certain other "XXXX Simulator 201X" games (all by the same publisher *ahem*)) and I really enjoy playing it. The graphics are good, the style almost nostalgicly similar to past simulators. The only downside might be that it can be quite a watch-and-wait game sometimes, but for 11,99€ I would certainly recommend this.

    After a couple of hours of playing, all I can say is that the game looks like it has potential, but I kind of got the feeling that's all there is to it. Sure, I got my post office, I hired a couple of clerks, a couple of sorters, a few vehicles to collect and deliver letters, and I even got to buy another post office, linked them together and so on. So I switch to Fast Forward, watch as everything happens, and.... I'd say that's a nice start, but okay, what now? Don't get me wrong, I'm not…

    I was excited to play this game because it looked like the type of managment game that I would like. I was very dissapointed in this because the controls are very bad and it does not get better with time. Tutorial was also pretty bad and I noticed that after good set up the game just runs itself and all you need to do is watch days pass. There is no reason to keep playing it, not good.

    This game is quite poor. There isn't as much to it as it promises. The speed at the highest level is too slow. The gameplay isn't immersive, and therefore I think the price is too high. You can find mobile games for a 10th of the price that are much better, with better graphics, and have clearly had much more time spent on them.

I think this game is a great effort for a small company and they did a good job at it, its obviously not going to be anything like 'Sim City' or another big game like that but I think the idea and implementation of the game are great. One thing I feel I would like to see in a update or DLC or the second in the series is the game…

    I like management simulation games and I wanted to like this one too. It's pretty tedious to play this game in the beginning, but once you figure out how to do stuff, some hope appears. Unfortunately, the potential here is completely wasted and it turns out that after spending some time on setting up your operations, there's nothing. No challenge and gameplay depth at all... Given the above, I don't recommend the Post Master (...and trading cards sell cheap).

    There are no options to adjust the resolution, so part of the menu is off screen. The game will crash after an error message upon opening another post office as well; but the biggest sin is the devs abandoning the game. It had potential, but just wasn't supported and fine tuned.

    Post Master is kind of like a mobile game made for PC. It has clumsy menus, no hotkeys, represents information poorly, offers little actual control over what you do and requires you to do menial tasks (hire/buy X of Y) to unlock cars and office upgrades. All post offices look the same, cars have been lazily named (e.g. "superior truck") and the 'city' is a bizarre patchwork of semi-randomly placed blocks that looks nothing like an actual city. Days pass by extremely slowly even at the…

This is not the best game ever, yet it is not a bad game either as portrayed by many here. You choose a difficulty. Set up your employees (post sorters, customer handling and security) and vehicles (bikes to trucks with each different costs and benefits). For each vehicle you have to set the service it will do…

The graphics are decent, music is catchy and the pace of the game is good. Seasoned players may not like it, but it is good for beginners. The tutorial is fairly good.

    Although good game play, I did not enjoy it much. It is full of bugs, game crashed many times during different periods/scenarios. FIxes and updates have not been available for more than 6 weeks despite developers saying they working on issues. Best advice would be wait few months to buy the game when they actually fix the bugs.
