Monopoly (2024) – A Digital Rendition of the Classic Board Game
Released on September 26, 2024, Ubisoft's "Monopoly" brings the timeless board game to modern consoles and PCs, including PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. This latest adaptation aims to capture the essence of the original while introducing enhanced graphics and interactive features.
Gameplay and Features
The game offers both 2D and 3D board options, with the 3D version presenting a fully animated city that evolves from sunny mornings to stormy nights. Players can interact with their tokens, moving them around the board and even knocking over opponents' pieces, adding a tactile feel to the digital experience. Additionally, the game includes a "Fast Mode" with a Speed Die to accelerate gameplay, catering to those seeking shorter sessions.
Multiplayer Options
"Monopoly" supports up to six players in local multiplayer, with the convenience of using a single controller for all participants, emulating the traditional board game experience. Online multiplayer is also available, featuring cross-play across all platforms, allowing players to compete with others worldwide.
Critical Reception
Upon release, the game received mixed reviews, with an average rating of 6 out of 10. Critics praised the game's presentation and the variety of customizable rulesets but noted that it offered minimal improvements over previous digital versions. The launch price of $29.99 was also mentioned as a potential drawback, especially considering the availability of earlier editions at discounted rates.
Accessibility Features
Ubisoft has incorporated several accessibility options to make the game more inclusive. These include adjustable text sizes, color adjustments for better contrast, and customizable controls. The game also provides tutorials and practice modes to assist new players in understanding the mechanics.
