Look, I’ll level with you: I was rubbish at Guns of Eschaton during my recent hands-on time. There are some very obvious reasons for that – it’s a hard game that doesn’t currently especially explain itself very well, for one. But it’s a distinct enough riff on the familiar Soulslike formula, classic campfire respawns here mingling with Weird West-inspired first-person shooting, that it just takes a bit of getting used to.
