    By far the most impressive and well optimized next gen ps4 release I've played. It hits way above the performance I believed was possible on a base ps4 and lacks no ps5 gameplay. Wow. I have little to no issues or bugs other than not being able to modify assists in splitscreen which Polyphony has ALREADY agreed to fix.

Прекрасная игра,в ней прекрасно всё,от саундтрека до проработанности треков,внешнего вида и физики поведения автомобилей на трассе,это огромный скачок по сравнению с прошлой частью и возвращение к истокам серии Gran Turismo.Мне как игроку игравшему ещё в самые первые части этой серии,было безумно приятно вновь увидеть осовремененную карту в стиле прошлых частей с такими павильонами как: поддерджаные автомобили,gt auto,совместная игра,автомастеркая и многие другие.Теперь получение лицензии это обязательный процесс,как и в прошлых частях кроме GTS,ведь без неё вас просто не допустят к гонкам,а чтобы пройти все задания для получения лицензии на золотой кубок нужно серьёзно постараться,ведь на счету каждая миллисекунда,и на это уходит далеко не одна попытка.Сильно порадовал меня и новый павильон под названием "Кафе",в котором владелец по имени Лука подготавливает вам так называемые "Меню",в которых вам дают различные задания,к примеру: пройти какой-нибудь чемпионат,сфотографировать машину в павильоне "Scapes",и самое главное собрать 3 каких-либо автомобиля,например французские хот-хэтчи,японские компакт-кары,американские маслкары и т.д.,их можно как купить в "Поддержаные автомобили" или в "Brand Central",так и получить абсолютно бесплатно прийдя в 3-х гонках в певрой тройке,таким образом можно очень быстро и главное бесплатно пополнять свою коллекцию автомобилей и повысить уровень "Коллекционера".Ну а теперь к минусам,единственным минусом для меня стал режим ралли,физика поведения авто на грунтовой трассе очень странное и не совсем реалистичное,да и попросту неприятно.Очень сильно постарались над тюнингом машин,как над внешним так и над техническим,особенно над техническим,по сравнению с прошлой частью это небо и земля,еще для меня стало приятной мелочью,что автомобиль после всех улучшений можно вернуть в полностью заводское состояние,я любитель автомобилей в оригинальном состоянии,так что мне и вправду было приятно увидеть такую функцию в игре.Ну а теперь про графику на прошлых поколениях консолей,в целом графика даже на "паст-гене" стала в разы лучше,подтянули качество текстур и очень хорошо поработали над освещением,и на деле есть большая разница в графике прошлой части и седьмой частью на "паст-гене",глазу теперь горздо приятнее.В общем игра мне безумно понравилась,я испытываю большую любовь к серии игр Gran Turismo и очень рад выходу новой части,я с удовольствием продолжу играть в эту замечательную игру,ждать новых обновлений и новостей!… Expand

Logged a lot of hours on GT3 A Spec with the official steering wheel. As I moved onto the PS3, I got a proper driving l seat along with the PC Logitech G25 Wheel, gear stick and pedal set. On PS4 this combo stopped working as they try pushing users to newer models. That said with the Drive Hub adapter it emulates newer wheels and works just like it did on PS3.

    I got GT Sport late in the day due to poor reviews. I got like a year later and eBay, with all the updates thought it was great. I got GT 7 on launch after discounts cost me about £52 not £70. I got the PS4 and paid the £10 upgrade so I can play on both consoles.

    GT7 is a great game and a big step up from GT Sport. A much more complete game. As I'm using a wheel I can't really comment on how well it plays with the dual sense. But with a proper wheel, especially a seat it's amazing.

    I response to all the crazy feedback in the "news cycle the past week" and users scores of 0. What a massive over reaction.

    I never spend real money on micro transactions, I'm cheap and it's kinda cheating anyway. I've amassed ~35 cars so far. Think I'm on menu book 18 or so. I'm enjoying "the grind" learning the game etc, building up to the faster more expensive cars.

    So I admit I wasn't affected by the servers being offline for 30 hours. I'd not played for a good few days due to work. But this down time is not on the same league as Cyberpunk being a buggy mess. Or Halo missing half of the normal features.

    On patch 1.07/1.08... maybe they were encouraging those that can't wait to spend real money... Maybe they were trying to balance the game? Maybe I'm not the target audience that was affected by the changes.

    Some people are upset that they paid £70 for a full game and therefore expect access to all the content day 1.
    In my view you get the rare cars for putting the effort in. Who really needs to drive every single car. Looking at my gt7 stats page on the web: Since launch I've logged in 7 days but only had time for 4 proper sessions of just under 2 hours each. I've earned 461,00p credits, driven 439km. I have kids so don't have much time to play / watch them play.

    I recently unlocked split screen multiplayer that you mentioned, but I'm playing through the cafe books. I also have access to online, but I'm too cheap to pay for PSN, so only special free weekends for me. I've nearly finished collector level 9. I own 6% of the cars.

    I'm on level 22 and completed 34% of the campaign. I've never bought a car and have 1,500,000 credits. I only by cars or tuning if I don't meet entry requirements or can't beat a race. It seems like you earn credits more easily in GT7. For me I'll be playing this game on and off for years.

    Some of the graphics continue to surprise me. I played a night to day race the other day, really like how the headlights reflect all over your car interior. When driving I really don't miss the proper ray tracing. The approximated equivalents look pretty damn convincing. I'd much rather have the 60fps, with the cinematic 30fps and ray tracing during menus and replays.

    I know mandatory online could be a problem for some. GT Sport for PS4 had the same thing. Luckily for me I have fast broadband so no online issues. If you were online I guess you can play music rally. I understand the requirement to avoid hacking, fake race times etc which would be a bigger concern.

    The benefit of online to me is that all my progress is in the cloud and I can switch between consoles and just carry on. I think PSN has a similar feature (Cloud Save), but I don't subscribe to that (no online racing for me)
    But the unique thing here is I can switch between PS4 and PS5 and back to PS4 no problem. Handy as my driving seat and rig is generally hooked up to my old PS4, with the PS5 downstairs for the kids.    … Expand

    The single player career in GT7 is excellent. Masses to do, masses to unlock. All the career missions, side missions, license tests and general racing will keep you busy for ages. Only negative side is, the career can only be played online, because the game only saves online. Meaning all career activities are unavailable offline.
    Handling of the cars feels pretty realistic, and there are driving assist for those who find it a bit too realistic.
    Visuals are mixed lot. Some circuits look brill on PS4Pro, others look like they were ported from Playstation 3..
    Framerate stays high at all times.
    Sounds are basic, engine sounds lack depth and tire screeching is constant and annoying. Luckily sound levels can be adjusted.
    Tuning parts selection is diverse, and tuning options, while not Project Cars 2 level, are still varied enough and all the important settings are there.
    Selection of cars is not that big, and many classics are missing. I assume lot of DLC cars will become available later, for a price. Similarly circuits, once you unlock them all, are not that many compared to competing game brands.
    Car painting and vinyls are bit cumbersome compared to Forzas. And you have to buy all special paints (metal paints, flakes etc) separately. And not in sets. No, you have to buy each special tone separately, so if you want to buy all metal paints, you have to unlock and buy them separately, pot by pot. Very awkward and silly.
    One more complain is AI drivers. They drive on tracks, and do not even pretend to compete against each other. Poorest AI in any modern racer for sure.
    To cap; I love the extensive single player career mode. Its the best I have seen in modern traditional racing games (Forza Horizons, while excellent, are more arcade racers, so do not count here). And the handling and tuning is very good too. And that is why I give the game 8/10, despite those faults I numbered. I've long wanted a traditional racer with proper career in single player, and now I got one.    … Expand

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

I should be able to sell my cars, and I should not have to see races see a decline in credit rewards through patches. It's a shame that one of my favorite franchises of all time has been brought to its knees by this silly always-online requirement and poor business decisions. Gran Turismo 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, it helped inspire my love of cars at a young age. That game is still playable today, will GT7 be playable in 20 years? Probably not.

    Underneath it all, yes, the game itself is good. The driving physics are awesome!!!
    I'm just concerned that Sony is going to throw away their legacy when these titles inevitably go offline, GT7 will likely, at some stage, be unplayable forever. PlayStation, this is the WRONG DIRECTION for your company and brand, it is shameful!

    I feel like the industry has just absolutely abandoned what I love about games in favor of catering to whales for an extra buck. Fallout 76, (my last time posting to Metacritic) was a complete joke and unfortunately, GT7 is right alongside it in its current state. Both of my favorite franchises now have a huge stain on their legacy and history. It's just a sad time to be a gamer.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game marred by disgusting greed. In addition to the price of the game, the emphasis is of collecting cars, yet the in race rewards are pitiful. This has been made worse by the latest update cutting the rewards to 'not worth entering' races.

    Coupled to that is the absolute joke of the FIXED roulette reward system that 9 tomes out of ten will give you the very basest coin reward.

    There are clearly predatory microtransactions in the psn store and the in game earnings have been cut to push you to spending real world money to progress in the game. Purchasing and tuning a car in GT7 is horrendously expensive. I have been doing a race over and over to earn 60,000 credits a time because I refuse to spend any more money on this game, 60,000 goes nowhere. You may need 350,000 to properly tune a car. This 60,000 has now been cut to 10,000. I'm not stupid and I refuse to pay real world money for credits in an online only game.

Ja, die Strecken sind gut designt und hübsch, selbiges gilt für die Autos. Und auch die geschichtlichen Fakten sind interessant. Aber das sind die einzigen positiven Dinge an diesem Game und diese rechtfertigen weder den Preis noch den Kauf.
    Da wäre zunächst die Sache mit dem Erhalten der Autos. Es ist fast unmöglich, alle Autos zu erhalten, da viele sxtrem teuer sind und die Möglichkeiten, Geld zu farmen, eher spärlich sind. Einige Autos kann man auch erst kaufen, wenn man eine Einladung erhält. Diese erhält man rein zufällig durch die Roulette-Tickets. Es leuchtet nicht ein, warum man Einladungen erhalten muss, die machen einfach keinen Sinn. Und die Roulette-Tickets sogar noch weniger. Zu 95% erhält man immer den niedrigsten Betrag oder billigsten Wertgegenstand. Der Gewinn steht schon bei Erhalt des Tickets fest, wie in mehreren Youtube-Videos bewiesen wurde.
    Beide Mechaniken verringern den Sammelspaß. Hat man in früheren Teilen Autos als Belohnung für Renn- oder Rennseriengewinne erhalten, ist die Möglichkeit hier nur einmalig und sehr eingeschränkt. Auch die Geldgewinne sind sehr niedrig.
    Die Auswahl der Cups ist auch extrem beschränkt. Mit den meisten Wagen kann man keine Rennen fahren, es sei denn, man erstellt diese selber. Auch die Strecken- und Autoauswahl ist nicht gerade üppig. Strecken wie Apricot Hill fehlen komplett, Autohersteller wie Opel oder Lotus bzw. Autos wie der Dodge RAM fehlen ebenso.
    Die KI, gerade in höheren Rennklassen oder höherer Schwierigkeit, ist extrem schlecht programmiert. Zum Teil versucht diese, in bester Online-Fahrer-Manier, mit Rammen, Stoßen und Schieben einen zu drehen oder von der Strecke zu drängen. Oder sie fährt so, als wäre man gar nicht auf der Strecke. Generell gilt: wenn die KI nicht will, daß du gewinnst, gewinnst du nicht. Dann schleudert es dich von der Strecke, ohne, daß du wieder ohne Probleme zurüczk kannst, du kannst nicht mehr schalten oder richtig beschleunigen, du wirst um 40 oder mehr Sekunden nach hinten versetzt oder die anderen Fahrer sind plötzlich total op.
    Ein weiteres großes Problem ist der Online-Zwang. Des Öfteren kommt es vor, daß keine Verbindung zum PS Network gehalten werden kann. Rennen, Missionemln, Lizenzen, Käufe oder sonstige Tätigkeiten werden nicht gespeichert und der Progress ist dahin.
    Der hohe Schwierigkeitsgrad tut auch sein Übriges. Es sind in den Lizenzen, Missionen oder Rennen teilweise lächerlich schwere Herausforderungen zu meistern. Es ist fast unmöglich, z.B. alle Lizenzen in Gold zu schaffen. Auch hier spielt die KI unfair: je besser man wird, desto unfairer wird die KI. Da wird man selbst mit 20 km/h weit rausgetragen, die Steuerung funktioniert nicht richtig oder man wird disqualifiziert, weil man angeblich die Strecke verlassen hat oder einen ein anderes Auto berührt. Das Game ist hier wohl nur für Halb- oder Vollprofis gemacht. Anfängern oder Fortgeschrittenen wird ein Lernfortschritt extrem erschwert.
    Natürlich gibt es auch Mikrotransaktionen, allerdings ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis eine Frechheit. 20 Euro für zwei Millionen Credits. Und es gibt Autos, die 20 Millionen Credits kosten...
    Die Online-Rennen bieten das Übliche: wenige Fahrer, die einfach Rennen fahren wollen, viele, die unfair fahren oder andere nur trollen. Das System von Gran Turismo 7, die Fahrer für Aktionen zu bewerten und dann in Hruppen mit ihresgleichen zu stecken, klappt nicht. Man kann buchstäblich alles tun, um seinen Gegner von der Strecke zu bringen, ohne daß es eine Art Bestrafung gibt. Da vergeht einem wirklich die Lust an Online-Rennen.
    Alles in Allem kann man sagen, daß dies, trotz der guten optischen Eindrücke, der schlechteste Teil der Reihe ist. Schlecht programmiert, unfair, mit sinnlosen Mechaniken und ziemlich wenig Content. Das war das letzte Gran Turismo, daß ich mir zugelegt habe. Es ist unglaublich, wie schlecht das Game ist. Man kann nur hoffen, daß die Entwickler irgendwann ein Einsehen haben und das Spiel patchen.    … Expand

    The Middle:
    -Engine swaps are a new addition to the series but are locked behind the terrible roulette system.
    -Visual parts are back but there not much different from Gran Turismo 6's.
    -The instrumental music is very good while the vocal music is bad, so it's just a weird clash of old music with new music.
    -A lot of new tuning options but a good chunk of cars cannot be upgraded with a turbo.
    -Lacking a lot of races when compared to GT Sport and older GT titles.
    -Music rally is fine
    -GT Cafe is a very good addition but it's pretty short and the speech bubbles get annoying after a while.

    The Cons:
    -Used dealership updates 1-3 cars whenever it wants.
    -Terrible roulette system that gives out barebone prizes and locks away sought after parts behind it.
    -Race payouts were lowered in a update while car prices remained the same.
    -99% of the game is online only
    -Mircotransactions are a lot worse than GT Sport's and Gran Turismo 6's.
    -Barely any new recent cars.

I always felt the dirt (and drift) aspects of the game shouldn't be forced on the general populace of Gran Turismo. It should be entirely optional, as should things like an unstoppable 10 minute or longer video clip when first loading the game or a forced music rally where the HUD and lack of engine noise make manual shifting frustrating. But these are the odd design decisions that can immediately hamper the experience in a game that does the GT aspect rather well. Except for its AI.
    Any time progression involves repeating quests to go from last to first repeatedly cannot really be considered a real simulator to begin with, and add funky changed physics at lower speeds alongside physics that feels like it's different track to track, and you start to see that it's more a progressional arcade game with some simulation than anything else.
    Good for the dopamine hits and challenging to be sure, only the later game is now focused on microtransactions; pay to collect. And it's not subtle, every opportunity to spendearned credits has an opportunity to purchase at the cash sstore. Highly desirable cars have that FOMO feeling as they're time limited and may also have limited stock across the globe. And then there's the nail in the coffin; server maintenance. In particular the one occurring as I write. Originally supposed to be 2 hours. 2 hours in, revised to 3 hours. Included update 1.07. The servers are still down 21 hours on. With no updates from PD or Sony.
    For a largely single player game this is an insane, absurd issue caused by the forced online connectivity required for any progression and any gaming mode other than the poorly received Music Rally and Arcade modes, both modes probably not really being what a Gran Turismo 7 player is after and definitely not what I'd want to play.
    Suddenly the game feels like it is designed with only cash microtransactions in mind, and the payout revamp apparently occurring in 1.07 seems that it may be to reduce people's opportunity to earn in-game currency; for that, we'll have to see. If the game even goes live again, or when it goes live again. Perhaps these issues will be addressed today or soon, but this recent experience reminded me of why I should simply stick to PC for racing sims. And it makes me hesitant to ever purchase another Playstation or GT game ever again.    … Expand

I'd get a refund if I could. $70 down the drain and will likely be the last GT game I buy.

    So disappointed. The gameplay and graphics are fine, but everything else has gone backward. I don't think it's going to have the fun replay value like the previous versions had.

    Without doubt the WORST Gran Turismo made.

    Oh it looks good but take the slightest dip below the surface and you find a lazy pile of garbage. To start with, the start, Music Rally, which you MUST play, no "oh I'll come back to it later", you don't at least try the first Music Rally you don't get into the game. Then there's the fact it's locked behind a "must be online" to play    Without doubt the WORST Gran Turismo made.

    Then there's the fact it's locked behind a "must be online" to play even single player mode DRM lock. Why is this even necessary? I'm playing single player mode, maybe once a month to check for necessary updates, but EVERY time, are you for real???

    The actual content, pathetic, the missions, the licenses, they're still there, with their usual flaws that I'll come back to, but the racing, if you just want great deep racing, don't waste your money, GT5 and 6 have more racing then this does.

    Going back to those flaws. You remember I'm sure, earlier iterations of Gran Turismo, where you'd do a mission or license, and you'd fail it as you overtook another car safely then IT would hit you but YOU were failed for the collision even though it wasn't your fault, yep, it's still there, or you start a challenge with your ghost on, yet despite just driving in a straight line, in the same car, with the EXACT same settings, somehow it gets a better start, yep, again, still there. These are basic things that should be long gone by now, but nope.

    Pitting, how is it, you pit, the nearest car is maybe 10 seconds behind you, both change tyres, both fully refuel, yet somehow, the other car gets in FIRST, and gets out first?

    Microtransactions, yep they're in this now. Got to get the grift on.

    Then there's the rigged prize "roulette", and yes it IS rigged, I tested it. Roulette is supposed to be a game of chance or luck, there's absolutely no chance or luck involved in this roulette. There is a technique to repeat the roulette spin if you don't like the prize, it's not healthy for the PS, but I had an older model and a newer one so I took the chance, if you pull the power lead fractionally after you get the prize, it doesn't save so you get to re-run the roulette. I put this to the test 20 times. 5 prizes, 20 spins, now for the record, during the re-spins some of the higher prizes changed, however, EVERY spin I got the exact same prize, the EXACT same prize, the odds of that are in the millions to 1, yet everytime, exact same outcome!

    There's also another aspect to this rigged roulette, to buy some cars, they're locked and you need "invitations" to buy them, to get the invitations you must..... win them in the rigged roulette!

    This game just feels like one of the old prelude Gran Turismo's rather then a full game. I've played EVERY GT since the original came out, and I've never been disappointed, until now, this, it just feels like a cash cow milking the GT name.

    It feels like a huge emphasis has been put on online racing at the expense of the main game, but online has been a part of GT since even GT5, which, at least in my opinion is still by far the best, and if the servers were still running, I'd rather play that, then this pile of steaming garbage.

    Absolutely not worth the money, just a pure waste of your hard earned. This game is a disgusting entry to a distinguished franchise.    … Expand

I've only ever received three invitations to purchase a rare car and every single invitation has been for the exact same Porsche, despite there being plenty other cars that need an invitation to purchase.

    Like many others, my biggest beef with the game are the ridiculous non-random roulette tickets, micro transactions, overly expensive cars, and hiding fun game features like rare cars, engine swaps, etc. behind the broken roulette system.

    GT7's single player content pales in comparison to previous titles, essentially feeling like a long-winded tutorial. Many other elements feel similarly underwhelming and underdeveloped.

    The developers also clearly push players towards microtransaction purchases, going as far as utilizing alarming FOMO tactics, rather than rewarding us as we advance through our racing careers.

    This game is simply not what was expected, or even advertised. The dearth of single-player content, combined with a restricting and unfulfilling progression system, makes this game legitimately hard to return to, which for a title containing as much history as this one, hurts a great deal.

    One last thing I want to mention is the baffling fact that 99% of the game's content, meaning all story-related modes and earnings, are tied to online connectivity. Servers go down? You're SOL... which has currently been the case for the last *20 hours (!!!!!)* since writing this review. Simply unacceptable.    … Expand

    WE STAND AGAINST YOUR PREDATORY MICROTRANSACTIONS !

    FIX THIS GAME PROBLEMS OR GT7 WILL DIE SONY !

    1- Few brand new cars to the series and tracks compared to GT Sport, we need more like: Porsche 918, Jag XJ220, EB110 SS, Mclaren P1, 720S, SF90 Stradale, 812 Superfast, Koenigsegg Agera, Chiron SS, Venon F5, Saleen S7 TT, Maserati MC12, Porsche 959, Cizeta V16T, Ruf CTR2, New V8 Vantage, New M3, New RS4 Avant, New C63 AMG Sedan, etc...

    2- Ai "Sophy" system it's totally Hardcore and unbalanced on the Gr.Series campaing events, they must turn down the Ai difficulty level -25% at least

    3- Making in game cash (credits) it´s a true grind, we need more cash gains and rewards to make the cars more obtainable as well the performance mods (without PAYING REAL EXTRA MONEY)

    4- Make us able to sell our cars again like in every other GT game

    5- Performance mods are too weak to the point that feels unrealistic, i know some cars in game that can produce with the same mods a lot more power in real life, like the classic VW Beetle, in real life i know there is shops that can make it with +300hps tuned to the max with a big turbo, but in game it´s about 100hps tuned to the max even turbocharged, we need a lot more HPs on this performance mods for all cars

    6- Make it 100% playable offline and stop forcing PP to get the PS Plus !

    > Still things they can fix over time, otherwise it's a good game, looks great and physics are more realistic than previous GT games but sometimes it´s too hard to control the car, if you are coming from GT Sport i will recomend waiting some months for future discounts, more content and fixes ! !    … Expand

    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.
