    As a fan of racing games like Forza, Nightclub, Dirt, and so on. This is probably the "ok" game experience despite the microtransaction since the patch release that makes it difficult to earn cars. However, the gameplay and the graphics are outstanding since grand Turismo sport.

    No me gusta jugar en primera persona, pero el modo en 3ra persona se ve repugnante, la camara se mueve horrible y el carro ni pareciera que se moviera, que desperdicio de dinero, lo unico que se ve increible es el modo foto y esa porqueria no se para que la agregan a los juegos, es perder el tiempo.

    The AI is a disaster, you always start last in a race and the first one is 30 seconds ahead of the others, the ia never goes off road or overtakes, it's really playing against a train.
    The gameplay is nice but too rigid. There are cars that don't turn at all. I can assure you that when I turn the wheel of a car at 90° it turns around in 1 second.
    The single player mode is useless, except    The AI is a disaster, you always start last in a race and the first one is 30 seconds ahead of the others, the ia never goes off road or overtakes, it's really playing against a train.

    The single player mode is useless, except for car fans to see the history of the cars.
    The two player mode with two big black stripes is a shame.
    The third person view is horrible, you can't move it back much, it's almost stuck to the trunk.
    The impression of speed when you drive at 250 km/h is ridiculous.
    Forza Motorsport 7 does everything better than GT7 except maybe the music. 7/10

    I got special edition and they want even more money, just not ok. Greedy company. Ok, that got fixed, but a lot of gold ratings are impossible for casual gamers and races still all the same cars.

    Racing:
    The driving in this game is fantastic, a perfect blend between accessible arcade that can be enjoyed by the whole family, and serious and competitive, while the car handling itself is great, the physics are even greater, with cars snapping realistically when you push them too much, and cars understeering accordingly when your tires can't keep up anymore, however still handsomely rewarding you when you pull off the racing line near perfectly. Pit stops are as great as ever, with the minor kink being the tyre selection screen completely gone after selecting the tyre, so if you misinput you're forced to deal with said new tyre. The AI however are atrocious, they blatantly cheat, barge, rubber-band and do all sorts of heinous and erratic things that just ruin the driving experience. In sport you were doing hot-laps when passing all the AI in turn 1, here you're doing hot laps when you're stuck in second place, one minute ahead of the guy in third and a constant 15 seconds behind first. The penalties are laughably inconsistent, which is ironically consistent with GT's progression as somehow PD just aren't capable of putting together a competent penalty system, but giving them lenience many other racing franchises can't either.
    Campaign:
    The gameplay is relatively straight-forward in GT7, You buy a beater-lunchbox, do some races, get to the cafe and play through the challenges. This would be fine if the whole game didn't revolve around you doing these challenges, and the rewards were different. The game completely ruins any sort of progression as it's giving out supercars and rare icon sportscars as if it was candy. Because of this, everyone has the same exact uneventful path, and you see people driving the exact same cars. This is a tremendous downgrade from the likes of GT4, and ironically even Sport, where you had quite a few possibilities when trying to progress, but instead GT7 locks you down one singular path as you need to progress in the cafe to even unlock the license tests. This makes the campaign feel extremely closed, and strict, with any sort of freedom shot down. Easily the least rewarding campaign of all Gran Turismo games so far.
    Gameplay:
    Along with the excellent driving, the gameplay is one of the few saving graces of the game. From the extensive care you can provide for your cars in GT Auto, from washing and oil changing, to installing the biggest and widest body kit you can find, the immersion never stops! The tuning also provides a great way to transform your every-day beater car to a circuit pocket-rocket. The variety doesn't stop!
    The game also offers missions, scapes, and the showcase room, there is a great deal of things to do to pass the time. Missions, are a set of challenges you must do, either reaching a certain speed on a straight, setting a hot-lap with limited fuel, or overtaking a set of cars, the game excels here in terms of content. Getting gold and bronze medals on this event also gives you two free cars, which is actually well earnt as these challenges are quiet difficult. Showcase is the discover tab from Sport. You can find photos, scapes, liveries and decals from other players, had lots of fun browsing through there. Scapes make a return as well, though they don't improve much on the existing formula so there isn't much to say about them. The livery editor returns with a bang, as GT7 now allows you to search for decals while editing, and actually allows you to edit other people's liveries, which is a fantastic addition. The game also brings back the used car dealership, but this is less great, as it takes weeks for it to fully refresh, unlike in previous titles where it refreshed on a regular basis, depending on what you were doing. The legendary dealership is a new addition, but the same in principle, except with fancier cars and higher price tags.
    Misc:
    Graphics - Even on PS4, the game is breathtaking, with realistic rays of sunlight sneaking through objects, the colours, everything is just full of life.
    Online - massive downgrade, with championships and sport mode just being a empty tack-on, 2p split screen is bugged and online lobbies are a severe downgrade from GT Sport, which is worrying, to say the least.
    Menus - the main home menu is pretty unappealing visually, a massive downgrade from the previously shown off menu. Loading times could be better, with 5s and 10 at that could easily be shaved off with more optimisation. The menus are pretty tedious as well, full of life but a pain to deal with.
    Presentation - Great presentation retaining the charm of older GT titles, with it's great original soundtrack and themes.
    Overall this game is definitely worth a buy if you have cash to spare, but if you're looking for a more solid experience you might want to head back to Gran Turismo 6 or wait for a big discount later on.    … Expand

    *sigh* GT7 is half of a solid sim racer with plenty of gearhead extras/info and a (mostly) great driving model. The other half was replaced with bizarre progression systems/gated content, bare-bones AKA 'classic" race options, an unnecessary money grind, zombie AI, rigged loot boxes, and yes--ridiculous microtransactions for in-game cash.

    On the track, this game has few peers.    *sigh* GT7 is half of a solid sim racer with plenty of gearhead extras/info and a (mostly) great driving model.

    I don't really play racing games but decided to play Gran Turismo 7 when I saw it in a clearance aisle for around €7. The racing itself is fun and intuitive and the maps are decent.

The game has a sluggish, annoying and boring progression system with annoying NPCs in the form of a photo and some text to deal with. It just feels soulless in that regard. The car selection is very disappointing. The slowness of unlocking stages inevitably causes you to play the same stage over and over again, just to make a small amount of progress to unlock one more course. The negatives of this game heavily outweigh the positives, therefore, I conclude that this game is pretty mediocre..… Expand

    El modo GT está muy bien, no he jugado al GT desde el 4 y es una maravilla volver a la franquicia, pero las mecánicas como no poder vender coches, o que los vales de regalo en el 99% de las veces acabe dándote el peor premio no tienen sentido. Sin dudar lo peor es el multijugador, la pantalla dividida está mal diseñada y el jugador dos siempre es más lento, injugable.

Many negative reviews (and publicity) because there is this desire to have all of the cars and massive amounts of credits IMMEDIATELY, and backlash against micro transactions. You are not required to buy credits! The game is only a couple of weeks old, there are plans for DLC, and it is meant to be more realistic than other car focused games. A pro driver can't win a race or two and go buy a McLaren F1 LM at auction. Lol. The game designer seems to put a lot of love into this series, and it's not for the "immediate gratification", "easy way" society that we live in. Skip micro transactions, invest in a wheel rig and enjoy the driving. The credits will come eventually.… Expand

    GT7 doesn’t feel like a truly new game – more like an upgraded version of Sports. But it’s par for the course for the series: each generation, Polyphony Digital makes a solid foundation and then builds upon it. [Issue#260, p.38]

    Gran Turismo 7 strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and realism in a way that caters to casual players and veterans. It's a gorgeous racing game with a surprisingly addictive gameplay loop thanks to the new Café and Menu Books systems. While some modes are certainly not as strong as others, Gran Turismo 7 checks almost all the boxes of what a driving simulator should be.

    A return to form for Gran Turismo. After too many years, Polyphony Digital crafted an almost perfect iteration of Gran Turismo, where past and present blend together for an epic journey through the car culture.
