Which is why Angry Birds is a well designed game that a lot of people loved, and while there was always an element of chance, it was pretty much the modern day equivalent of the old-school strategic puzzle games with a modern twist (physics) It required some trial and error to learn things, but you could 'master' it.

While Angry Birds 2 is an absolute piece of shit with no real design to it, isn't really based on skill at all (you're frequently presented with impossible puzzles) and I haven't heard a single person say one good thing about...

Shocking to see how far the series fell really, maybe they've improved / fixed it / realised the error of their ways since, but every single person I knew who played the hell out of the original is still playing the hell out of the original instead, or has given up on it and even lost interest in the other related products.
