In the meantime, developer Liquid Swords has announced a comprehensive patch and content update schedule.<\/p>\n<p>We were excited about Samson after playing an hour of it for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/how-ex-just-cause-devs-samson-aims-to-be-like-mad-maxpayne\">preview<\/a>, but unfortunately bugs and repetition marred its launch on PC, and IGN gave it a 4 out of 10 in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/samson-review\">review<\/a>, even though we recognize it does some really cool stuff that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/samson-has-one-thing-that-gta-doesnt-consequences\">even GTA doesn&#8217;t do<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/samsons-70s-muscle-car-turned-me-into-ryan-goslings-getaway-driver\">can make you feel like Ryan Gosling in the 2011 movie Drive<\/a>.
