Considered by many to be a spiritual successor to Sleeping Dogs, Samson is having a lot of trouble living up to the cult classic or just achieving a positive review score in general. Though charming in some aspects, the game is seeing horrible optimization problems, leading to a very middling reception and a "mixed" rating on Steam.
But its developers are well aware of all the problems players are facing, at least those that aren't inherently tied to the game's core design. In a Steam note posted today, Liquid Swords' creative director Christofer Sundberg thanked everyone who hopped onto the title, even if they didn't end up liking it. He highlighted that the game launched "with flaws" for "a number of reasons" and that developers are looking into "unacceptable" bugs and performance problems the community is facing at the moment.
