If you really want to feel like the lord of your own kingdom in Manor Lords, you will want to make the experience as personalized as possible. Naming your budding village is a great start, but your coat of arms is a visual representation of your kingdom that appears far more prominently. When you are starting a new game, you will have a decent selection of symbols, designs, and colors to make something cool from, but there's far from endless freedom. You do have the ability to create any coat of arms you want, though it does take some extra work outside of the game itself. Here's how it works.

How long is Black Myth: Wukong?
Black Myth: Wukong and its protagonist, the Destined One.

Developer Game Science has pushed back on calling Black Myth: Wukong a souslike, but it hasn't commented much on just how big of a game it is. The story it is based on is a massive tale, but will it take just as long to go through the game version of the story? Plus, there are a ton of upcoming games in the near future that you may want to be sure you have time for before investing in a massive epic, so you'll want to know how long it will take. Naturally, there will be a lot of variance on how long Black Myth: Wukong will take, but even then, the ranges might surprise you based on the type of game it is. Let's dice into how long you can expect to play Black Myth: Wukong.

First, skill will be a huge factor in determining how long it takes you to beat this game. Again, it isn't a soulslike, but there are dozens of challenging bosses all over the game that could act as roadblocks. Additionally, while not open-world by any means, there are plenty of side paths and secrets you can spend extra time exploring to inflate your playtime.

How to change worlds in Once Human

Survival games tend to be some of the best multiplayer games on PC, and Once Human is no exception. This massive world is far too big and dangerous to fully explore and conquer by yourself, meaning you will always be dumped into a world filled with other players. You initially can choose if you want to play in a world that allows for PvP or is strictly PvE so no one ganks you while you're having fun decorating your base, but what if you want to play with friends who end up in a different world than you?

Each server has multiple worlds within it, so coordinating to play on the same server doesn't guarantee you will find them right away. There's no need to worry right now about linking up with console players since we don't know when Once Human will come to consoles just yet. You won't find an easy way to change worlds in the menus, so here's all you need to know about changing worlds in Once Human.

How to share your base with friends in Once Human

Cooperation is key to making any progress in Once Human. Once you jump into a server and join the same world as your friends, one of the first orders of business will be to establish a base of operations. The best survival games all give you tons of customization and building options, and Once Human is no exception. However, you can only build within the limits of your own territory and, by default, no one else can build on your space either. While you could each just build your bases next to one another, it's much more fun to collaborate and help build one communal base. Here's how you can share a base with friends in Once Human.
