Why this works

Angry Birds 2 offers a gaming experience that blends nostalgia and addictive gameplay. The familiar cast of quirky birds and green pigs will transport you back to the days when launching feathered projectiles was the ultimate gaming thrill. If you played the original, this nostalgia will likely make this a relaxing experience.

The physics-based gameplay inspires some creative strategizing to take down the mischievous pigs, and rewards you with fun animations–especially satisfying if a level takes a few grit-building attempts. With energetic music and sprawling landscapes ranging from icy tundras to tropical climes, the game presents a diverse range of challenges.

Why Planning matters

Planning is the ability to accurately estimate the effort required to complete a task. It requires you to organize systems with the available resources. Angry Birds 2 requires planning in order to assess the structure's layout, the position of the pigs, and your available birds. In addition to this strategic planning, you will practice visualization in order to choose an effective angle and speed for your limited number of shots. Fortunately, with unlimited time you will not feel under too much pressure while strategizing.
