    No ‘skip’ button for the repetitive animations and the ridiculously slow-moving AI. So be prepared to sit around for hours just to get through one game.
    Did the developers even play this before publishing? Absolute garbage.

    Monopoly has always been a classic game to play, however when me and my family were playing the game it crashed and deleted our save file. We all wanted a refund immediately and sadly we got the digital version so this is impossible with the eshop since all sales are final for digital games.

    Come on UbiSoft !! How can you release this buggy game. And price of EUR 40?? Are you kidding me? Rento Fortune is million times better and cheaper!

    Abysmal. Worst Monopoly game I've ever played. How do you manage to make a Monopoly game with no option to turn auctions off? Especially when previous versions for other systems have included that option. I'd like to be able to name the AI too, since they're given stupid names.

    Except the loading issue, It crashes all the time, so far, I have more online match crashing then finished, judging from steam review, I guess Ubisoft may never fix it

    No joke: it's a five minute load for the title screen. And another five to get a game started. And another three when your game ends.

    Unless they release a patch, you really should avoid this turd.

    This game is slow. Not friendly for single player and beginner. Always close up to the token not the whole map.

    If you are buying this for casual time playing, don't wast your money.
    The android one is much better

    Gameplay is attorciously slow, worst digital adaption of mobile monopoly. Better to buy a mobile phone version.
    This game also has a lot of bugs in it.

    Monopoly is a classic game and I’ve had it and enjoyed it on a couple of digital platforms and though I’d buy this new one on switch because it’s the perfect game for handheld. Unfortunately though it is slow and over animated, honestly it’s unbearable. Playing with anything more than 2 players is just too slow, it takes about 5 minutes just for a rotation of 3 players, it’s pathetic.

    I bought this title on the switch store to play with friends during the epidemic. The software was all up to date and my internet connection was good. I was having a fun time playing with my friends but about 2 hours in I clicked the button to make a trade and the game suddenly had an error and booted me from the online game.

The game does not allow you to rejoin a game in progress and put my assets were up for auction to my friends who were still online. It's untrustworthy and will waste your time by not allowing you to finish games you start. The graphics and game play aren't very advanced and this game is a few years old so I really can't fathom how they haven't worked out most bugs. Their support team also wasn't very helpful. I would say avoid this game until another company besides Ubisoft remakes it.… Expand

    Would have rated it good but it seems 8 out of 10 times the game is rigged in favor of the AI. Every start I have is bad, I could go 4 turns from start and not land on a single property 8 times out of 10. Isn't dice result supposed to be random? Here it just seems you are set up to fail everytime. I can't have a bad start virtually every game. That is so unrealistic.

    I love Monopoly and Monopoly games. I got this one on sale some time ago and tried to pick it up again recently.

    Alas, there is never anyone online (literally... never...) and that makes it a bummer for a single player consolist like myself.

    As others have mentioned, I found it very heavy and it runs slow on the switch as well, which is not great. All in all, spend your money elsewhere.

    I love Monopoly but this version sucks and I already bought it on sale for 9,99Euro. Still regretting it because the AI moves rediculusly slow! If you play with more than one other player the waiting time becomes unbearable! Why do I have to watch the dice fall and roll every single time and why do they have to remind every player of their activity cards with every move!

    Also if you run out of money all players can auction for a super cheap price for the card you are landing on. So they will always make a bargain in case you run out of money. No fun at all with this very! I know Apps that are for free that work better!    … Expand

    Holy crap SOOOO sloooooowwww. It'd be orders of magnitude faster to play a real game; and that's including if you have to take the time to go to the store to buy it. The animations are painfully slow and you can't skip literally any of it. It's insane!

    How can a game released on modern hardware be this much worse than Monopoly Party, released on GameCube, PS2 and Xbox in 2002? That game trumps this one in about every way: speed of play, creative themes, rules settings, character selection... I’d give this game a negative rating if I could.

    I was playing this game with my ex-girlfriend and it was downright AWFUL. First of all, the ENTIRE GAME is basically just a roll of the dice, which means you get completely **** through no fault of your own.

    My friend and I wanted to play Monopoly so we bought the Android version for $4 each. Her phone couldn't play it for some reason so we decided to spend $40!!! each for the Switch version. We can't even finish ONE GAME because it keeps crashing online! Its 2023, this game has been out for SIX YEARS now and it's still buggy and broken.

    With the load times, the cool but only once or twice modifiers and living boards that are all pretty much the same, it is probably a better idea, and a cheaper one, to just buy the physical board game, rather than invest in the electronic Switch version. Every know addition to the Switch's growing library is cool with me, but Monopoly is one you can probably take a pass on.

    Monopoly for Switch does about everything right. The game offers numerous boards and you can adjust the rules to suit every need. And you can play the game where ever you want with up to six players. The waiting time with six players is long though.

    Overall Monopoly for the Switch does the job it advertises to do, like Monopoly for many previous consoles. The difference is, with this console you can take on the go and play multiplayer without needing to carry around the board game and all its pieces. Is it perfect? Definitely not. Especially with my gripes that I mentioned earlier, but if you want Monopoly on the go the game isn’t breaking the mold but it gets the job done. The $40 retail price point is a bit questionable, but I have already seen it on sale in the past few weeks for around $20, which is where I say this game should have been priced and shouldn’t be grabbed for anything more.
