How to rebind skills in Avowed

Making proper use of all your best abilities in Avowed is the easiest of the tips and tricks you can take into the game. When you begin, you will have your healing and mana potions set on your quick select bar, followed by the first skill you unlock and first companion ability. That's great in the early game, but it isn't long before you unlock new skills that you want on that slot more than what is put there for you. You can always access all your abilities through the tactical menu, but that is a bit cumbersome. Instead, here's how you can remap your quick skills to whatever you want.

How to rebind skills in Avowed

You have 4 quick select slots on controller and 6 on PC in Avowed that can be set with consumables, skills, and companion abilities. Changing them out is easy and only takes a few seconds, so feel free to change them as often as you want.

Step 1: Open the tactical menu and highlight the skill you want to put on your quick select bar.

Step 2: With that skill highlighted, press the corresponding direction on the D-pad you want to bind it to, or any of the 1-6 keys on your keyboard to bind it to.

Step 3: Exit the tactical menu and your new skill will replace whatever was in that slot previously.

Besides skills, you can bind potions, consumables, and companion abilities to any of these slots. We suggest keeping health potions on there at all times, but there's no restrictions on what you can put there.

How long is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Goro Majima in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

The Like a Dragon games tend to be very lengthy experiences. Ever since turning into JRPGs with 7, they have gotten even longer with Infinite Wealth clocking in anywhere between 40 and 100 hours depending on how addicted to Dondoko Island you get. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a spinoff starring Goro Majima taking to the high seas as a pirate, but also takes the game back to its action combat roots. There is still a highly dramatic story, quirky side stories, and plenty of mini games and side activities to be found. But is this game smaller in scope than the mainline games? Here's how long you can expect to spend pirating around Hawaii in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
How long is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is considerably shorter than the last several Like a Dragon games. If you were to play the game somewhat normally, doing most of the side stories, mini-games, and other side activities as we did, then you can expect the adventure to wrap up in around 25 hours or so. On the other hand, if you wanted to just focus on mainlining the story then you could theoretically beat the game in around 15 hours. That's by no means short, but still a big difference compared to past games.

How long is Lost Records: Bloom and Rage

Don't Nod, along with TellTale, helped reinvent the adventure game genre with its Life is Strange series. The games focused more on storytelling and characters than action or shooting. The latest game in the genre is Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, a new story split between a group of friends in the '90s and 27 years later. Unlike Life is Strange, Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is only split into two parts rather than four or five. If you're concerned that will make this game only half as long as usual, we'll be sure to give you a more reasonable estimate on just how long it takes to beat this story-driven adventure.

While Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is available on Xbox and PC, you can get it as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription if you have the Extra or Premium tier.
