Subscribe to our newsletter Liquid Swords has been open about the development difficulties it has encountered with Samson, its newly released open-world crime game that adds a roguelike spin to Grand Theft Auto's loop of driving and fighting.

The studio led by Just Cause creator Christofer Sundberg "laid off half the team" last year, forcing them to rework Samson from a more ambitious design into a leaner, meaner run-based experience.Yet while these compromises may have helped Samson to the finish line, it doesn't appear to have resulted in a more polished product ## Editor's Note We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks.
