    A barebones single player campaign (that requires online connection) riddled with too many incentives to spend a lot of credits that are next to impossible to earn in a healthy amount of time, car rotation to increase FOMO, all this to push very expensive microtransactions.

    Requires Internet connection for most basic things and game is plagued with microtransactions. With the lastest update they even nerfed race payouts to so bad even obtaining a decent car takes hours. Sony and PD shows us how greedy they are.

    Absurd decision from polyphony what the heck? This game cost 100 dollars+ and you can't play for what you grinded for offline? You cant do nothing?? this is a gran turismo not The Crew!! Also what with the nerfing too is that what this series has become ? I'm going back to forza.

    In game economy was terrible to begin with, but after the last update it is even worse. You can spend either 40 euro/dollar on the best cars, or race for about a workweek and a half to earn it in game.

Not to mention the massive prices for the ingame upgrades (you have to race for hours just to be able to afford all the upgrades for ONE car!).

    Cafe is the worst idea ever, it's a bunch of nonsense conversations for old men who consider themselves "cultured" or whatever, it's certainly not for people who just want to enjoy the freedom of racing in fast cars. Because of Cafe you can not progress in the order you'd like. Tracks have to be unlocked over time. Custom races are possible, but earn you a ridiculously low amount of money. Also, I've had crashes on GT7, I've had freezes and framedrops, it's playable but it's not a first party 70 euro/60 dollar (ex tax) experience.

    But enough complaints: I'll give a solution too: get GT Sport. It's cheaper, it works better, there's still freedom there, the racing UI is the same, the tracks are the same but a few are missing (which aren't fun anymore since the updates anyway) and you'll hardly miss the few cars which aren't in it, since you won't be able to afford those for probably months anyway. And even if you do, you won't find any real use for them in GT7. GT Sport is in retrospect a slimmed down and improved version of GT7.    … Expand

    Purchased for both consoles. Equally scummy of PD to add micro transactions and try to hustle those of us who paid good money for a game, only to learn the credit system has been nerfed and you have to pay real cash. Let's also not talk about the server that's been down for 16 hours today. Trash.

    I love a lot about this game but I wish the broken enconomy was optional. That's the true cost of microtransactions, even if we don't engage with them. We can't opt out of a broken economy, that only exists to turn players into payers.

    The problem wtih the servers down for more than 24h, shows the nonsense of the game being always online, to play!
    Worse, Polyphopny is doing all they can, to force players buying credits on PS Store!
    The new one after update 1.07 is reducing the race wining prize!!
    I am dropping the game, and considering very seriously, buying Xbox X instead PS5!!

    After 10 h 49 min and 59 sec and 1.882 km racing the story part is finished. And now? I dont need the multiplayer!

    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.
