Angry Birds 2 is a new addition to the popular franchise that offers 140 challenging levels, impressive graphics, and new features. The game may be free-to-play, but it still provides a fun and engaging experience for those who enjoy the bird-flinging puzzle genre. The added picture-in-picture close-up for birds adds a new level of emotion to the game. While there are some freemium aspects, the game is still a solid choice for fans of the franchise.

  • 140 challenging levels

What we like:
  • Humorous dialogue with great writing and exploration
  • Modernized old school adventure games with good story, quests, and humor
  • End game achievements accessible to any character class
  • Huge open world with good animations and decent voice acting
  • Wonderful homage to Sierra On-Line games and perfect for fans of the point & click genre
What could be improved:
  • Frustrating design issues
  • Occasional offensive humor
  • Some puzzles require arbitrary actions to be triggered
  • Combat system is repetitive and lackluster with simple mechanics
