With hype around Grand Theft Auto 6 reaching fever pitch, it seems any game where you run around a city smacking strangers will draw comparisons with Rockstar’s open-world crime simulator. The latest is Samson: A Tyndalston Story, a brand new title from the makers of Just Cause launching 8 April on PC.
To be clear, Samson bears only a passing resemblance to GTA 6. The vibe looks closer to gritty mid-2000s action shooters like Max Payne, mixed with a whole lot of weighty, Arkham Asylum style punching. Rather than setting you loose in a sprawling open-world sandbox, early previews suggest Samson is a more tightly wound, narrative-driven brawler.
