Angry Birds Collection

Angry Birds Seasons is basically the original game wearing a different outfit every few months. It takes the same slingshot physics and familiar bird abilities and drops them into themed episodes built around Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter and plenty more, giving the formula a cozy sense of occasion. The level design can be a lil less consistently clever than the original and the increased difficulty sometimes pushes you toward repeated attempts until the physics finally behave the way you need but there's still a some fun in figuring out how each seasonal gimmick changes the familiar formula. Visually, it also has way more personality than a straight level pack since they make each episode feel distinct. Also, the mobile release ended up becoming the definitive version over time, since it kept receiving new episodes and holiday updates for years. The console versions added some bonus levels but now don't even match the sheer amount of content available on phones, so I'd recommend playing that one instead… oh wait, you can't.   

Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Rio is the point where Rovio took the basic Angry Birds formula and gave it a proper movie tie in makeover, sending the birds to Rio de Janeiro after they're kidnapped and shipped away from home. Instead of simply destroying pigs, you're generally freeing caged birds and later taking on other targets, with tropical environments, new objects and hidden fruit giving the levels a different visual identity. The core gameplay is still almost exactly what you'd expect: pull back, aim, fire, watch physics do their thing, then desperately try to squeeze out that third star. Rio's biggest additions are its boss encounters, which finally make some stages feel more like actual set pieces, plus collectible fruit and tighter level layouts that give completionists another reason to replay stages. The hook is that it feels like a polished expansion of the original since there ain't many new mechanics and Blu and Jewel are pretty simple to play to completely change how you approach puzzles, the presentation is brighter and more detailed, the movie theme is worked into the game pretty naturally and there's enough quality in the level design to make it an easy recommendation for anyone already hooked on classic Angry Birds or liked Rio.

Angry Birds Star Wars

Angry Birds Star Wars retells the original trilogy with birds as the heroes and pigs as stormtroopers, TIE pilots and other members of the Empire, starting on Tatooine and moving through the Death Star, Dagobah and later Hoth. The important part is that Star Wars isn't just slapped onto the usual Angry Birds levels: Red as Luke gets a lightsaber he can swing mid flight, Chuck as Han fires blaster shots, Bomb as Obi-Wan uses the Force to shove objects around, Stella as Leia gets a tractor beam, Terence as Chewbacca becomes a giant wrecking ball and other characters get abilities based on their movie counterparts. The game also mixes regular Angry Birds stages with Space-style gravity puzzles, which keeps things from becoming stale, while the music, sound effects, character designs and little story scenes go all in on the crossover. There's several experimentation involved, especially when you start bouncing lasers, deflecting shots or manipulating several objects at once and the formula still feels familiar underneath it all.
