The graphics in Anti-Opoly have been widely criticized for being lazy, outdated, and overly childish, making it difficult to read important information like street names. Reviewers noted that the visual presentation detracts from the overall experience, with many finding it unappealing and poorly executed.
- “The graphics are a bit too childish for my liking; the developers made the font very funky, making it hard to read the street names. The pop-up messages for the AI players are unreadable because they appear too quickly, and you can't seem to set the speed.”
- “The inclusion of 3 game variants is great, the history features are nice, and Anti-Opoly itself is a neat take on the theme - but the graphical and audio presentation is lazy and very lacking.”
- “The graphics are lazy and old-looking.”
- “I thought it would be pretty hard to make a game worse than Monopoly, but Anti-opoly somehow managed such a feat and is even more boring than the original Monopoly, with really ugly visuals to boot.”

The game's story, which delves into its origins and the author's motivations, is often regarded as more engaging than the gameplay itself, with some players finding it compelling yet overshadowed by the creator's bitterness towards Monopoly. While the background narrative adds depth, it raises questions about its appropriateness in a competitive context.
- “I already spent 20 minutes just reading the background story and the origins of the idea.”
- “The story of how and why the game was made was more entertaining than the game.”
- “Speaking of which, reading the author's backstory with Monopoly, I can understand his bitterness, but that should not make it into a game; especially one designed (it seems) to compete with Monopoly.”
- “The most fascinating thing about this game is not the game itself (even though I really like the difference to the 'old school' Monopoly), but the story behind it.”
