MONOPOLY GO‪!‬ 9+

Not enjoying as much as I used to

Would have been 5⭐️ but it all feels a bit rigged since the new update. The fact that you aren’t guaranteed a new sticker from the top vault anymore is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn’t matter how many sticker packs you get when you open it if they’re all duplicates. When you only need gold stickers there aren’t a lot of other options. The events might offer a wild card but they’re basically impossible to finish if you’ve not got thousands of dice. You can land on corners all day long when you don’t have to. It’s almost as if the algorithm gets changed when you need certain things for events.
If you’re going to stick with this you should let people trade any golds in the blitz, not just 2.
The amount of scamming that’s allowed over on the Facebook group is also a concern.
Overall, I’m not enjoying the game as much as I did when I first started playing. I need 5 golds to complete the album, and I’ll probably still be needing them when it’s over. It feels like it’s just being driven more and more by getting people to buy the ridiculously expensive dice packs by taking the ability to get gold’s away unless you complete all the events.

Starts well…then incessant payment requests

The game started well with good progress on the first couple of boards but once the initial supply of dice run out the game completely stalls. Have to wait an hour to get another 5 dice/ rolls, very short play then until the game stalls again. Incessant delays and pop ups wanting payments. Only thing to do is play once a day, after enough time has passed to build up a supply of dice that will allow play for more than a few minutes.
I only play the basic game, no trading, Facebook linking, etc. and find that the game gets tedious. There’s no game strategy or planning involved AT ALL. With real Monopoly there are issues about buying properties, developing them, etc. With this game there’s none of that. There’s a little interaction with “attacks” and “heists” that yield random outcomes.
The different boards/ cities are just more of the same, the tasks are all the same, it just takes a higher score to earn a reward or move to the next level.
It’s interesting initially, but VERY annoying demands for payment constantly; but it soon stalls unless payments are made. After a while it gets boring, with the same repetitious tasks—only really tolerable because the payment demands mean I’m only willing to play it once or twice a day until my free moves are exhausted.
I might play it another couple of days until I finish this city/ board/ level; but unless the next level/ city offers more interesting game-play or challenges I will delete it.

Overstimulation: the game

This game is fine. It’s inoffensive and honestly a pretty good time killer when I have a couple of minutes with nothing else to do. What’s annoying, however, is the incessant number of pop ups, whether it be micro transactions, events, random rewards for things you didn’t know were happening or whatever, that bombard your screen every time you roll your dice. It’s ridiculous. I really do mean it when I call it overstimulation: the game. The most annoying one, I think, is the pop up micro transaction asking you to buy more dice when you run out. It does this every single time.

The gameplay also just gets annoying if you play for more than a couple of minutes at a time. I’ve found myself getting annoyed when I am rewarded with more dice, because the gameplay itself is boring and I just want it to be over so I can close the app and get on with my day. The gameplay is also nothing like advertised, by the way. This is NOT monopoly with friends on the go. What this actually is is going around a board by yourself and building up small towns with the money you make. You can attack your friends and they add to your community chest, but that’s it. Honestly, the game itself is fine, but it’d be nice if they advertised it as what it actually is, instead of calling it a mobile monopoly experience.
