    What a joke! You have to be online to play single player? They release a new patch that halves rewards for coin to force you to buy more.

    I initially looked past the pretentious atmosphere. I always was dubious of the network requirement, dated list of cars, and artificial scarcity. Corporate greed ruined this one. Give it 6 months if you’re on the fence. There will be hundreds of copies in a $5 bin along with Battlefront 2 and Cyberpunk 2077.

    Thanks, Sony. This was THE reason I got a PS5. You lost a 25 year fanboy with one

    100 Euro für 25thAnni Version verlangen und dann noch so 'nen künstlichen Druck erzeugen für den Kauf der Ingame-Währung ist 'ne Frechheit. Die Preisgelder sind insgesamt zu niedrig angesetzt, da braucht keiner mit Langzeitmotivation kommen. Hätte ich gerade Zugang zu GT7 (Wartungsarbeiten dauern länger als geplant), dann hätte ich hier nichts geschrieben. Warum macht man hier den Fehler und kommuniziert den Status der Wartungsarbeiten nicht sauber und öfter? Die wenigsten Menschen haben Probleme damit wenn's länger dauert, aber ein regelmäßiges Feedback darf da nicht fehlen.

    Honestly the game is fantastic but spending 100€ on a “freemium” game (Anniversary Edition) with online only option is not acceptable. Since the pre longed maintenance was announced over 24h ago, PD stood radio silent. Please fix the MTX dependence and let us just enjoy the game!

    Usually I expect a slight grind in Gran Turismo, but I didn't expect PP to push the game so far into P2W territory. Infact it's maybe closer to P2P. MTX is shoved into your face at every opportunity, post race, in the menus on the PS start up screen. Its crazy. The other

    The other issue is the constant requirement for online servers. As we have already seen this has caused a considerable backlash from the fanbase as the server maintenance means that not only is online unplayable but the general campaign is unplayable too! What a crazy decision to make.

    As a regular fan I'm very disappointed

    I never saw a game maintenance longer than a day. The game is just like a DLC of Gt sport but cost you $60. Also, you need to buy if you want the car, they reduce the awards of track to “motivate” you to buy credit through your credit card.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine my surprise when I paid $90 to pre-order the 25th anniversary edition of GT7, foolishly expecting I'd receive a work of art I could fall in love with all over again like the earlier versions, only to discover that it's now nothing more than a thinly veiled con to swindle unsuspecting, avid fans and supporters out of their hard earned cash. I'm not sure if it's PD or Sony that's ruined this game for me and countless others, but you should ask be ashamed.

    You didn't even have to try for us to have loved GT7. We all wanted to love IT. You just had to do the absolute minimum. Instead you went out of your way to lure us in with trailers and hype and scooped us all up in your net of lies.

    Nerfing the payout for races to kill the grind, LYING about being able to sell our cars, even doubles and triples of the same car, creating fake scarcity for car supply to induce fomo, the god awful gacha roulette which doesn't even pretend to be remotely randomized...all for what? That's right, to see how many people say "screw it, I really want this $20 mill credit Ferrari and don't want to complete 400 races to buy it, let me get my credit card." Because getting $70+ from each of us wasn't enough. And thanks to your forced always online game mechanic, which serves literally no purpose, I got to spend my one day off this week staring at a black screen informing me your servers are down. I'm assuming you're beefing them up for the influx of chash deposits your expecting after update 1.07.

    To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. To say I'll ever buy another Gran Turismo game ever again would be a lie. I hope it was worth it. Good luck s̵t̵e̵a̵l̵i̵n̵g̵ making a ton of money from this one.

I can’t possibly recommend the game at any upfront price in its current state. First, the required internet connection at all times is disruptive for those of us only interested in single player. The game has been completely inaccessible for over 24 hours at the time of this writing as the developer struggles with a server outage. Insane! Second is an unusually greedy microtransaction system. After a very short series of single player tasks, it becomes very difficult to earn enough to acquire more cars without a massive time grind. The economy was already broken, but the developer introduced a patch to make it even worse! This is something you might expect from free-to-play shovelware, but not from a full-price game pushed heavily by Sony. Unfortunately given my experience with this game so far, I can’t trust this developer to act with integrity and would strongly recommend avoiding this title. Expand

    The entire game seems a bit outdated. Driving mechanics could be better, career mode is linear and it’s downright frustrating to start every race positioned dead last and have to race through 10+ racers and come in first place. Rewards for winning were bad enough to begin with but have gotten worse with the new update that make progression a major grind. You’re either going to have to work you a$$ off or prepare to pay in the form of micro transactions or else most cars will be unattainable. This game had a lot of potential and I’m sure several gamers like myself had a lot of hope from this game but it’s disappointed. Focus on the players and the money will come… too bad they chose to focus on the micro-transactions. Another game I’ll never be playing again…

    Drives like Gran Turismo, graphics are lovely, but as a game it is sooooooo bad. Clearly the design brief was "Get the player addicted, then periodically make the gameplay so annoying they will pay money to skip it." In other words, it's just a very expensive mobile-style money grab, constantly pushing the player into micro-transaction hell. Avoid at all costs.

    Lack of cars, pushing players towards mtx and 24 hour maintenance simply not good enough for a £69.99 title. I was really looking forward to jumping straight into races but I can't help but feel somewhat conned and the fact you basically can't play the game in an offline mode in this day and age is unacceptable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Somewhat better than GT Sport because there is a dedicated but lacking single player mode. However there should be an option to shut up the annoying NPCs completely. The grinding in the beginning is unnecessary. GT4 was good enough with the licences limiting the available races. It is not necessary to force people to use cars they do not want to drive.
    I am sorry for the absence of real endurance races. I hated the short races with tyre and fuel multipliers. They are back but they can not replace real endurance races. Apart from these pieces of **** and the mandatory races there are only 2 races with no multipliers. Daily races also most likely have them. On GT Sport only Daily Race C had them but in this ****load of a game Daily Race B tends to utilize them too. There are also cafe menu races with this **** The licences, missions and circuit experiences are another letdown. They are fairly easy (I had gold on less then the second time on average) but with the switches between different types of cars thanks to the improved handling model is very annoying. At the final test that kink before Blanchimont is a game breaker. Licences in GT4 were hard but fair and now they give us these easy tasks and trolling us in the end. It is also a shame this game can not be played offline.
    The microtransactions are just idiotic and the roulette tickets exist only to give you the smallest amount of money 90% of the time and so they can say there is a (1%) chance of "winning" a car.
    Also they fix one game breaking bug just to introduce another one with the patch.
    Overall the game is gorgeous and the gameplay is somewhat nostalgic. The driving is much better than GT Sport. However the annoying new features, the missing old ones and the bug introducing fixes make this game an unfinished abomination in between GT Sport and a real GT title. I hope future updates will introduce changes that can change my mind but for now GT3 and especially GT4 are way better in my opinion.

    Update: version 1.07/08 is even worse. Server was down for more than 30 hours and microtransations are encouraged after nerfing race rewards. And the only thing they do is making excuses. I do not feel motivated to play this game with the constant need to grind for credits.
    Update: just found out that online qualifiers do not count as distance driven. What the hell am I doing then? Hundreds of kilometers driven lost from my stats.
    Update: version 1.15: Online Time Trials added, but they do not count towards the daily workout (why should they?).
    Update: version 1.17: **** barrier collision penalties return

    I'll not give it a zero. The actual racing is great. There just isn't enough of it. Once you finish the "story", there is very little to do. No endurance races, no Monaco, etc. Then the in-game economy sucks. Very grindy, made worse with the most recent update.

    Then there is the always online aspect. A problem with the most recent update had GT7 down and unplayable for around 30

    If it were a free to play game, then sure, I could forgive the lack of content and money grabbing economy. But it's a AAA title with a AAA price tag. This simply isn't good enough for (what used to be) my favourite racing franchise.

    I'd advise anyone considering this game to wait for a sale. Like a massive sale. Not even sure 50% off would tempt me had I not already bought it and knew what I now know.

    I bought the game because most reviewers said micro-transactions were not needed to progress and make money in the game to buy cars.
