Samson is getting a clear rescue plan. Liquid Swords confirmed that the next updates will be released on April 15th and 22nd. The previous patch slightly boosted the Steam rating—it bounced back from “Mixed”—but it’s still a long way from reaching a stable “Mostly Positive” rating.

Samson’s April patches: what Liquid Swords will fix
The developers will focus on stability, gameplay, overall polish, and, most importantly, player feedback. Details are still scarce, but the direction is clear: no unsolicited replies, only specifics on where the project has truly faltered.
The question is: will two patches be enough to turn around the audience’s sentiment? Liquid Swords likely understands this. The coming weeks will be critical for Samson.
And from that moment on, the main difference from ordinary promises is obtained.
Samson doesn’t have vague “plans for later” right now, but a strict April schedule: the first major patch was released on April 9th, the next is scheduled for the 15th, and the third for the 22nd. Liquid Swords has chosen the tactic of not just one life-saving update, but a series of targeted fixes. And this is a smart move on their part.
If you decompose the roadmap into stages, it becomes obvious:
Update Schedule — April
This is exactly the kind of structure a project needs in a crisis: first, to clean up the most acute technical pains, then go through the balance and management, and then polish the feedback. The first patch has already closed some of the progress blockers, tweaked the gamepad’s response and added support for eight save slots. The team is patching up not the cosmetics, but the base.
In such circumstances, it is easier for players to believe in the Samson Roadmap — it does not rely on empty words, but on a calendar and specific tasks. If the April patches are released smoothly and with normal quality, the project will have a chance to pull the Steam rating out of the “Mixed” zone somewhere towards the “Mostly positive” ones.
Samson on Steam: A Chance to Break Out of the Mixed Reviews Zone
They say Samson truly shines when all its systems come together. But it was clear from the release that the project simply didn’t have enough time in the sand. Now the studio has a roadmap and specific dates. If Liquid Swords truly delivers the fixes on time and doesn’t limit itself to general promises, the game has a chance. Players love being heard. All that’s left is to just go and do it.
