However, many users report significant issues, including graphical glitches, poor optimization, and a lack of adjustable settings, which detract from the overall experience.

    • “The graphics in *Monopoly Plus* are bright and colorful, creating an inviting atmosphere.”

    • “The graphics are beautiful, vivid art style, and flawless gameplay.”
    • “However, after a few months of not playing, I tried to play with my nephew today and the visuals were messed up. The graphics showed huge black line tearing vertically (no matter which monitor I used) when the camera would follow the movement of the game pieces, and worst of all, everything close to the camera is blurry.”
    • “The graphics look like something out of the early 2000s, and not in a nostalgic way. Bought this at $9.18 on a high-end computer and the graphics on most things within the game are terrible; everything looks awful and the frames are atrocious, especially when rolling the dice.”
    • “While the game attempts to replicate the classic board game experience in a digital format, the visuals and animations feel stiff, lifeless, and lacking in charm. The graphics are mediocre, and the animations lack fluidity, failing to create an immersive experience.”

    • “The gameplay is slow, laggy, and lacks many options to skip the drawl.”
    • “The core gameplay of Monopoly is there - roll the dice, move your piece, buy property, etc. however, 'advanced' mechanics such as trading property, buying houses, mortgaging properties, and so on is frustrating as hell.”
