For the first time ever, NASA has tested its next generation of Mars helicopters in two different worlds. A new rotor for helicopters that will be used in future missions was tested recently at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, while real-life flight simulation was conducted on Mars through the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which broke altitude and airspeed records during an experimental flight. The NASA team was surprised by the performance of the new Mars helicopter while conducting the test. Know the details.
For the King 2 Review
09.11.2023 - 20:01 / ign.com
Things can never go perfectly in a fairytale fantasy world - only in the past, or after the ending, do things get normal and good. So, naturally, in For the King 2 the brave queen Rosomon of the first game has fallen to the evils of chaos, and over a series of five adventures your team of erstwhile heroes strike out to explore their hexagonal world, get stronger, and for a resistance to the queen by scouring little linear dungeons or defeating notable foes. The sometimes-whimsical, often challenging quests take you across a variety of terrain and turn-based combat scenarios, smoothly aided by very functional, simple game mechanics, but the whole thing is hindered by a user interface that fails to communicate even very simple information clearly. For everything nice in For the King 2 there's some irksome way the UI impedes it.
Each adventure takes an average of about six hours, for a total run of about 30, but fail any one of them by running out of time or lives and it's over. You'll have to start from the beginning of that adventure. This review took about 40 hours to actually win, for example, due to a combination of some unlucky stat rolls and a couple of brutal critical hits scored by enemies depleting that limited pool of revives. It sounds unforgiving, but the difficulty is extremely customizable in lives, time limit, and your access to better items – which is to say that while losing can be very frustrating, you at least chose the possibility of loss. That’s little consolation when you're out five hours of gameplay, though – that comes in the form of lore points, pretty typical roguelite fare used to unlock new characters, items, locations, events, and cosmetics for future runs.
For the King 2 is basically a tabletop adventure game. Each of the heroes is its own piece on the board, controlled either by one person or split up among up to four players. You move them around a large, randomized regional map getting in fights and finding little tasks to do that require you to test one of your statistics against a number of passes and fails – those are easy to understand, with your stat of 1 to 100 being your chance of success on each try. Picking directions, navigating, and understanding your odds of success on challenges are approachable and neat as a pin, as good a bit of board-based game design as you can find anywhere in any medium.
What constantly curses the overall look and feel of For the King 2 is the frankly barebones user interface, which is especially frustrating because it’s the same annoying problem that plagued the original For the King. It is at times too spread out, too large, and too obfuscated to communicate even the little crucial information it actually needs to get across. Skills

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Review - Swinging For The Fences - Side Quests
Insomniac had its work cut out for it with Spider-Man 2 . To say expectations were high going into this sequel is an understatement, buffered by both the first game's major success and the bridge between console generations that was Miles Morales. This new Spidey adventure had to take the best elements from those games, mix them with new characters, features, and stories, and produce the kind of game fans will talk about for years. Somehow, they did just that; Spider-Man 2 is, to get the easy pun out of the way early, amazing.
