The release of the action game Samson has taken place — reviews are "mixed" due to bugs and optimization issues

Christopher Sundberg — the creator of the Just Cause series — has put out the first title from his new studio Liquid Swords: the crime-action game Samson. The story drops you back into Tindlstone's grim industrial maze; Samson returns because old debts won't wait and because his sister has become a target — protecting her is as much a motive as any past score.

Launch has been uneven. Reviews sit in the "mixed" camp, with just 49% of players recommending the release. Common complaints point to poor optimization and a raft of bugs, and the devs will need to address those issues. Player numbers peaked at 2,722 online, then slipped to 2,403 by the time this was written — not a disaster, but not the triumphant re-entry some fans hoped for either.
