One of the simple tips and tricks RPGs rely on to show how powerful you are is to display your damage in numbers. Avowed does this for every attack and ability you use, meaning you will see a ton of numbers pop up during your adventure. While they can be helpful at times, enemies also have health bars to see how much damage you're doing so having those numbers pop up can be more distracting than anything else, especially in third-person. Thankfully the game lets you turn these off to get a slightly more grounded experience. Here's how to quickly toggle this setting off.

How to turn off damage numbers

Damage numbers are always on by default and will pop up whenever an enemy takes damage. That can be from an attack, skill, or status effect like burning. If you're stick of seeing all these numbers, follow these steps to disable them.

Step 1: Pause the game and go into Settings.

Step 2: Go into the UI tab.

Step 3: Scroll down to the HUD Setting section and find Damage Numbers.

Step 4: Change it from On to Off.

You are always free to turn damage numbers back on from this menu, but you won't be missing out on anything if you prefer to have them off.

Unlike Control or Alan Wake 2, FBC: Firebreak isn't a single player third-person shooter but a co-op focused multiplayer game. The trailers how off a distinctly Remedy-style game, with strange events and monsters around every corner, but if you were drawn to the studio's past games for being single-player experiences, you might be unsure about this one. Thankfully, you have the chance to dive into the Oldest House early by signing up for the closed technical test. Here's our memo on how to do it.

How long is Doom: The Dark Ages

Before the game came out, we learned that Doom: The Dark Ages was abandoning its multiplayer mode to focus squarely on delivering the most brutal and satisfying single player campaign possible. The Doom games have always had great campaigns, especially after the reboot, but having that multiplayer component gives you a lot more to do after you've conquered every demon and found every secret. Unless you're playing the game through Game Pass, you might be a little hesitant to purchase a brand new game if it is only going to last you the weekend before you've beaten it. We've played through every level, found all the secrets, and unlocked all the upgrades in Doom: The Dark Ages to tell you exactly how long this game is.
