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.
Samson – A Tyndalston Story is one of those games that leaves you with a strange feeling. On the one hand, it's easy to see the potential behind its concept.
Samson: A Tyndalston Story is a journey of redemption, both in narrative and how far the game has come since its PC launch. There are still some shortcomings that hold the game back, but overall it is now a strong package that I recommend.
Samson is built with some excellent bones; its gameplay loop is fun and engaging and its gritty story is good and can be knocked out in 10-12 hours.
Samson is a game about how different things are. It has strong ideas, an interesting atmosphere, and a clear goal. But it doesn't work because of poor technique, excessive repetition, and a lack of an ending. It looks like this project needed more time to reach its full potential.
Samson: A Tyndalston Story was clearly pushed to release in a raw state. We rather got a stub that resembles a piece of the first island from GTA IV.
