Overview
- Samson, which launched Wednesday on Steam and the Epic Games Store, arrived as a $24.99 PC Early Access release with no microtransactions.
- Following Wednesday’s bug-filled debut, creative director Christofer Sundberg called the state “unacceptable” and set a Friday, April 10 patch to fix crashes, reduce stutters, resolve mission blockers, and add up to eight save slots and NPC fall damage.
- Early reviews skew mixed, with Metacritic hovering near 58 and Steam labeled Mixed as critics cite clunky melee, awkward driving, and frequent glitches.
- Developers say Samson is not a GTA-scale project, emphasizing melee combat, car chases, and a daily debt system built by a small team that cut guns and deeper RPG features due to limits.
- Liquid Swords pledges ongoing updates and future console versions and frames Samson as the first of several stories set in the fictional city of Tyndalston.
