10 Surprising Video Games You Can Beat Without Killing Anyone

9. Postal 2

Postal 2
Running With Scissors

Speaking of murder simulators, and one that people absolutely wanted to play, Postal 2 is the poster child for leaving total chaos in your wake. But it actually can be played non-lethally.

The last time I personally talked about this game on a WhatCulture video it was to highlight an achievement where you can pee into the sky and have it fall back onto your own face so you can’t say this game doesn’t have range.

Despite the fact that the acclaimed 2003 FPS is basically about a dude going mad and losing his s**t on everyone and everything that pisses him off, you don’t need to take that route. If you want to switch things up you can opt out of incinerating the local fauna and doing a murder on everything and instead stun gun your way through enemy-filled areas to cross off your objectives.

Make it all the way to the end using non-lethal tactics and you’ll pop a special message that reads, “Thank you for playing, Jesus.”
