Samson
Samson returns to Tyndalston, a city that shaped him hard, where every fight is close and every escape is earned. He owes dangerous people more than he can pay, and they’re using his sister to force his hand. The clock is running. The only way out is through anyone who stands in his way.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.

Everyeye.itSamson Review: An action game that promises but doesn't deliver, with bugs, repetitiveness, and a lack of depth.
