The Angry Birds franchise, at this point, has basically become ubiquitous in pop culture, featuring crossovers with a wide variety of franchises, as well as offering their own unique games crossing over into numerous genres and settings—there’s basically no place or time that our favorite irate avians haven’t visited. Nevertheless, with the newest installment in the franchise, which was released only a few days ago, it’s time to venture to new lands on a journey to discover a world of fun with the help of the birds and pigs we’ve all grown to know and love.

The aptly-named Angry Birds Journey is the latest entry in the Angry Birds franchise, featuring the same characters from the movies, or at least their likenesses while bringing the franchise once again back to its roots. The game itself, like most others in the series, consists of numerous levels where the player has to launch their birds from a huge slingshot and aim towards the pig’s defenses in order to topple them and defeat their porcine adversaries.

As usual, there are several different birds that you can launch from your slingshot, each with its own properties, which makes them suited for different uses. For instance, the yellow triangular bird, Chuck, can smash everything in a straight line from the point where he first lands on the enemy defenses. And just like Chuck, you’ll discover lots of different characters that have their own styles and uses.

Angry Birds Journey, despite being quite similar to the other games in the franchise, in that they are designed to be played and enjoyed on mobile devices, can also be played on PC. In fact, by playing Angry Birds Journey on PC with BlueStacks, you can get a much better experience by playing on your large computer monitor and with mouse support which, in turn, will let you view the stages much better, as well as aim your shots with better accuracy. And the best part is that setting up the game on your computer is quite easy.
