The graphics are well designed and eye-catching, with a large number of seamless animations and transitions. The UI elements are streamlined and easily accessible, enabling players of all ages to easily overview their entire holdings, bank account, and more. The Monopoly for PC also automatizes all dice rolls, player movements, and payments. To provide variety in play, players can also activate or reactive a wide array of “special rules” that can change the way the match is played.
Since Monopoly for Desktop is now handling all the economic moves, this version of the game can easily serve players who don’t want to manually handle money, calculate rents, and exchange money with other players. However, the longtime fans of the board game can experience the lack of “personal touch” when interacting with other players, where they can engage players, directly negotiate, and spot any inaccuracies in payments that can point to the other players trying to cheat or hide something from you. These real-world elements can often elevate a simple game monopoly into the clash of personalities and provide all players with an incredible amount of fun.Įven though this game features only one screen, with a dynamic 3D camera that can point to various elements of the board, the install size of the game is surprisingly over 200 MB, which was a lot for a game from several decades ago.
