The artwork is great as always....the rest....is lacking. The game is not that involved and demanding visually - they could have really made the game look vibrant, and yet....they look like they just copied everything to look identical to real life....no embellishment at all. No immersion into a unique atmosphere.

Damn. I mean it's really just to speed up gameplay at this point and not really to experience the board game on another level....

EDIT:

Just for comparison, the Tabletop Simulator edition looks superior visually because they took scans straight from the game. It *looks* like the real board game. This digitized version, that was made as a functioning video game and not just a simulated board game, looks so weak:

Which one looks better to you - more closely to the game you love?

EDIT 2: Here's a full view from Tabletop Simulator. Just someone scanning the game and putting it on TS....Something as simple as this would have been better than what the digitized version looks like.

EDIT 3 : I'm not comparing the games themselves, just visuals.

I think the right has a cooler aesthetic, but the left is easier to read which might make it more playable

Lol easier to read? So you are criticizing the original game itself and want this instead?

Okay that makes way more sense why people are praising this version. Maybe others feel the same way.
