    No to micropayment, when you already spend 100euros. This idea to think players are cash cow is scandalous

    Overall I'd suggest waiting for Sony to do the honourable thing, and fix the hugely unfair MTX and grind. The score reflects how this game makes you feel. (If MTX was fixed it would score an 8/10).

    If you intend to play them be warned, just as the game hooks you, the realisation that its like real life hits you. Meaning you'll want play with cars, and you can not afford them, nor try

    If you intend to play them be warned, just as the game hooks you, the realisation that its like real life hits you. Meaning you'll want play with cars, and you can not afford them, nor try out all the upgrades / tuning options.

    Shame on you Sony. To add a personal view, I bought a PS5 just to play this game - its the "exclusive" which made me choose a PlayStation. NEVER AGAIN. AAA games should never have MTX or cosmetic only MTX. Anything else logically diminishes the game in order to create a problem that players can solve for real world money. You choose to do this for an exclusive title, one that in the past has been a launch title multiple times.

    If anyone still wants more detail of the good and the bad, pro's and cons are below:

    Pro's
    -------
    * Very beautiful game, graphically superb in fact, especially if you have a 4k HRD screen. Races with day to night cycle have a fantastic feel.
    * Attention to detail is amazing. The tracks, cars, interiors, paint finishes, wheel rims etc are all lovingly recreated, with surprising detail.
    * Plays very well on the controller, with force feedback being detailed and immersive
    * Wet weather simulation is good, not the best, but looks great, and effects your car in a pretty realistic way - certainly enough to be fun

    Cons
    --------
    * Most expensive cars to date in a Gran Turismo series.
    * Most expensive cars upgrades to date in a Gran Turismo series.
    * MTX is the most expensive in history. Many cars costing upwards of £30, and the worst case is way over £200 - Are you completely out of your mind Sony?
    * Hardest grind for money to date for any active Gran Turismo game. THE absolute kicker here, was reducing the race prize pay outs AFTER the game was reviewed
    * One of the few Gran Turismo game where you can not sell cars you do not want. So if you're one of the few people to win a decent car and you don't like it - tough, no swapping it for you.
    * Roulette Tickets are a complete joke. Gives the impression of being random but see how often you avoid the smallest cash prize! Or win an "invitation" to buy a car, which is limited in time, and you wont be able to afford unless you have grinded the game to death already.
    * Multiplayer is still in development, and is evolving, so has fairly limited content
    * During maintenance periods due to DRM the only thing you can do is play music rally's. No off line mode for the single player campaign. (Makes no sense on the PS5 version at all)

    Tricked players into buying and then updated to show it's real face, which is a pay more real money to get cars. Roulettes are rigged to always give you the least payout available, cars overly expensive and credits given from races is a pittance. Add to that buying invites and credit cap and you get either grind forever or pay up.

    According to an article, cars are currently 800% MORE expensive than they were in GT Sport. That is saying something, because people were already complaining about MTX in that game which seem totally benign compared to this trash.

    The amount of egregious microtransactions in this game is absolutely deplorable and has really strained my trust as a consumer with Polyphony. I expected them to make a masterpiece for their 25th anniversary, instead they've made a mockery of themselves for following the corporate norms. Shame on them, will be boycotting this game until the economy is revised.

    Introduced scummy microtransactions incentivised by reducing the amount of ingame currency you get from actually playing the game with an update 2 weeks after launch, so they could get people to buy the game for 70$. Should be illegal.

    I love the presentation and racing so much. The graphics are great as well. I'm a PlayStation guy for life but I cannot condone the clear cash grab direction this game is taking. What is on offer without MTX is worthy of a 6 but nothing more due to post cafe racing being hampered so badly due to greed. The fanboys defending are pathetic

    Players should not accept these abuses on a game paid full price (80/100€) Not buying the game or if it is already done, not giving in to the call of the MTX and scuttling the reputation of the game seems the best ways to denounce these scandalous practices.

If you are an old school gamer like I am and you are returning to the Gran Turismo franchise after some time, you are going to be rudely insulted. If you want to relive the glory days, get the ps2 or ps3 out and go back to the older games. GT7 is a turd wrapped in shiny turds. I'm so glad I didn't spend the extra money on the premium edition. The £70 i paid for the standard edition is already a huge waste of money. They have the cheek to expect you to pay more money to buy cars.

    There's absolutely nothing ground breaking about this game. It's slightly better than GTS, slightly. Now all I have to keep me entertained is multiplayer and every time I join a room to race waiting for the race to end so I can join, the lobby owner leaves and the room closes, like wtf! It's becoming annoying.

Race rewards are ridiculously low and the game is a big grind for better cars. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that as an adult working person.

    I purchased this game after reading critic reviews, thinking at the time that they would be accurate. Not only were they not an accurate account of the game, but 2 days later the game was patched, making it even more unplayable.

    I've been a Gran Turismo, and general racing game fan, since PS1. I've played essentially everything. This is by far the worst, most shameless, bastardization of, not only the GT series but all racing games on any platform. Period. Allow me to elaborate.

    Most reviews on this site highlight the ridiculous microtransaction issue and nerfing of "in-game" rewards to make the grind even more idiotic. However, there are several additional glaring faults with the title that I would like to highlight.

    First the "online-only" issue. Yes, the game, like many others, is now online only and all you can do offline is play terrible music rally races with electropop versions of classical music. It's an insult to the very idea of a simulation to even have this nonsense in the game, let alone make it the only offline possible play. This is a problem because of point two.

    Two: Frequent and oddly timed outages. Maybe it's a release thing, but the game feels like it's been offline a lot, and has had at least 1 full day blackout. Also, the regular maintenance, if you live in North America, is in the middle of your prime gaming time after work. That said, even when you do get online there are several issues; keep reading.

    Three: The "campaign mode" is sad compared to previous games. You are locked into playing a linear series of races where you earn cars based on themes, starting from awful little Japanese hybrid compacts, that have no business in a racing game other than a plug for Toyota's next line of gutless, ugly, and boring commuter cars. You eventually evolve to better cars but there is little choice and you don't earn enough money to purchase any cars you would like for these races. You're stuck driving the reward from the last race, or Cafe Book as they call it. You also almost always need to immediately upgrade these cars to make them competitive for the next races wasting your hard-earned cr. upgrading cars you randomly are assigned.
    For instance: In the Mustang Cafe Book you're awarded a mustang from the previous book to compete. It assigned you one of 3 randomly and you need to sink cr. into it to make it competitive. You then can earn the Mustang you actually want but will need to sink cr. into that to use it for the last race. You cannot sell cars so you cannot recoup costs or modify your collection to focus on the cars you want.
    Finally, the Cafe Book campaign doesn't allow for any deviation from the linear progression. It's boring and locks you into a loop where you're forced to proceed and spend cr. on unimportant cars and upgrades just to progress.

    PS. Polyphony, no one buying your game wants to race one of two pickups, 400+ cars in-game, there is no need for 3 mandatory pickup truck races.

    Four: Yes there are more issues! The 3 types of car dealerships. The used car dealer is back, which should be a great thing but there is a limit to what it carries and it doesn't change stock very often. The bigger issue is that many, about 1/3 of the used cars, you earn in later Cafe Book races anyway. So if you do get jazzed up to see that R34, for about 300,000+ CR, it doesn't matter, you'll earn one later, plus if you do buy it, there is no alternate reward, you just don't get a car for winning the race. The brand dealership sells new cars, however very few offerings are actually new, all are usually 5 years old, and there is a lot of recycled GT concept garbage from older games for stupid high prices. The last dealership is the legendary car dealership, which has the cool old and unique cars you probably bought GT for. These are your AE86 Treuno, Lambo Countach, McLaren F1, etc. etc. Guess what? The prices of these things are through the roof, The GT500 Supra Race Car is 92 000 000 cr. At the price of 19.99 USD for 2 million cr. this is $920 USD, actual money! Now the cars you can afford in real life, you ALSO can't afford in games! The joke here is for $920 I can go pick up and Xbox, Forza Horizon 5, and a racing wheel, which I literally did do, and yes it's better, but I owe it to you, the reader to inform you of a potential mistaken purchase of GT7. But I digress...

    Five: In-game I bought a Focus ST - not super flashy but I actually drive a Focus ST in real life. Well let me tell you, the simulation stops there. Being an FF car in GT7 means that you can't make a 90 degree turn at ANY speed. According to GT7 I shouldn't be able to pull into my own driveway or drive in the rain. I'm honestly miffed.

    There is more wrong with the game than I have here, however, I'm at the Metacritic character limit. My advice to the consumer is to go get Forza, Asetto Corsa, or NFS Heat and avoid this disappointment altogether.

    As a long-term GT fan i'm really disappointed. It's so sad how such a good franchise literally spits on their fanbase.

    The game would be a 9/10 if it wasn't for a couple of things that completely destroy it and with its current state i don't think it deserves more than 3/10 I spent 80$ on the game to find out that i'm not gonna be able to fully enjoy it without pumping more money

    I spent 80$ on the game to find out that i'm not gonna be able to fully enjoy it without pumping more money into it or not enjoy it at all when there's a server maintenance. Last time the 2-hour planned maintenance extended to 36 hours. During this time none of the single player modes were available to play. I couldn't even look at my cars in the garage. It just allows you to play a quick race with one of the 7 (i think) predefined cars. There's not a single good reason for the offline modes to be not available offline. If they turn off the servers you're left with nothing, no matter how much you paid for the game. Ridiculous.
    Lowering rewards for races in 1.07 patch was a final blow to GT legacy. Those weren't lowered by 5-10-20% but by 50-75%. Imagine grinding the same race for 300 times to afford a car now. It's not an enjoyable game anymore - it's a chore.

    Furthermore - the campaign mode is really lazy. Every event is a set of 3 races which reward you 1 predefined car per each race - a car which you can't sell. In fact you can't sell ANY car. And every race is the same - you start last in a rolling start and chase up to the 1st place. There's absolutely no variety. Not a single grid start race, not a single drag/drift event, no endurance races, there's pretty much nothing to it, so if you played the first set of 3 races - you've seen the campaign.
    AI sucks - they don't avoid collisions and are eager to push you.
    The number of available cars/tracks is quite low for a GT game, bit better than GT Sport, but much worse than GT 4,5,6 (i haven't played 1,2,3).
    The "lottery" tickets you get are also a joke. It shows you 5 possible prizes, but it's rigged - 90% of the time its the lowest amount of credits that will be rolled (5-10k while cars can cost 10+ milion).
    Of course you're asked to spend money on the next ticket after every roll.
    Online lobbies suck - can't save settings, or even change the track in a lobby. You're forced to close it and create a second one which takes a while with all the settings.

    On the good side:
    Driving physics are good (except for rally races)
    Cars are well-detailed
    The moto-culture is treated with a huge respect and no racing game gives that feeling of participation and celebration of motosport.

    But that's about it.

    I really wish i didn't buy it. If you're considering a GT game - get a GT Sport - it shares many flaws, but at least it's at a reasonable price.

    GT7 is as pushy with microtransactions as your average free mobile game while being an 80$ expense.
    Zero respect to the fanbase

    What an absolute shame. The racing itself is among the best out there, provided you're fine grinding for tens of hours for each additional car you'd like to buy.

    Oh, and remember that today every game let's you spend way too much real money on it with microtransactions, the difference is, Gran Turismo 7 does NOT need you to, if you want and are determined enough you can get everything in the game by simply playing the game.

    First of all a cash grab and the cars might look awesome but you can 't charge that amount of credits or money for something which doesn't sound like the real thing. Like the Ford GT from 2005 sounds like a Honda V-Tec engine. Nothing against a Honda VTEC but a Ford GT with a 5.4l supercharged V8 should not sound like a high pitched 4 inline. A a car enthusiast that is not acceptable!

    Gran Turismo 7 brings to the tracks every single thing fans always wanted: the GT Mode everyone loves, plenty of customization options, car loads, classic scenarios and one of the best DualSense and 3D Audio experiences the PS5 has to offer. This is the best Gran Turismo experience we have ever seen in a long time.
