    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler alert! We got a raw deal. We were sold a game that did not include always online play for single player campaign. We were told that we could sell cars. We were shown the races and their payouts. We were told that over 400 vehicles were available upon launch.
    ALL LIES!
    After only two weeks of launch they have decided you have to be online, you cannot sell anything, the payouts for races are now halved, and cars are not available unless you want to spend the rest of your lives grinding for minuscule payouts or………… purchase credits with your real life money. To win a championship in “The real racing simulator” does not earn enough money to purchase………. Racing tires.
    Tires?
    I’m pretty sure that winning championships across all levels of auto racing affords you buying tires.
    Seems like the only thing real is the micro transactions.
    Nice way to repay your loyal fans since GT1. They can have their silly pay to win micro transactions so that the try hard crowd can pay to win but the only way to make this right is to do the following.
    1. Get rid of must be online to play single player.
    2. Restore the race payouts to what they were at launch.
    3. Allow players to sell useless duplicate cars.
    And as a bonus add endurance races, and world championships with realistic payouts. Not enough money to buy two tacos at Jack N the Box.

    It really pains me to leave this review as I am a lifelong Gran Turismo fan since the first entry, and it's my favourite video game series. Polyphony Digital have generally been a fantastic development house, which makes the decisions they've made in this entry all the more disturbing.

    The game itself is a solid 9/10, even with some content shortcomings, but I trust this will be addressed with further updates. However the game with the always online and frankly, spiteful "micro"transactions is a 0/10. I wish we would stop calling them microtransactions as they are far form micro in this case. The way in which Poloyphony Digital have designed this game to maximise revenue through microtransactions is disgusting. The fact that 2 weeks after launch, they made it their priority to reduce rewards is disgusting.

    If Polyphony Digital do a 180 and remove the always online component from the single player game, and reduce the games reliance on microtransactions (I don't mind some, just not to the extreme it's been implemented here) I will change my score. This isn't a free to play game, it's a full price title, we shouldn't have to pay for anything other than additional DLC.

    This game has gone completely downhill after the update. Big-time game critics reviewed the game prior to the update which means they were not allowed certain access to newer add-ons through the update for example the micro transaction area. This is an absolute slap in the face to us players and is being looked at as criminal activity. Do not buy this game.

    However, it becomes apparent after your first dozen "roulette tickets" that, under the surface you are playing a gambling game, and the house and the economy are both stacked against you. After 30 or so roulette tickets, constantly getting the absolute lowest sum possible, you realize that these tickets are a slap in the face, they imply there's one in five spin happening, but really it's rolling a 100-sided die, and unless you roll a perfect 1, you ain't getting squat. Once you learn more about the game's economy, and the designers' plans to make this a game of the haves and the have nots where the cars of our dreams are reserved for the wealthy (whether rich in time to grind, or real-life money, he says he wants those cars to be as unattainable in the game as they are in the real world). Shame on this obvious cash grab. It's a two-star game as it is, until they seriously re-evaluate the game economy I don't recommend.
    TLDR; TELL LUCA HE CAN GET STUFFED.

    I am returning this game. Forget about microtransactions on full price game! I am ok with DLC but these are not!! Cutting the winning credit in half to force you to but credit with real money. I ain't going to pay $40 for a 2014 Lamborghini Veneno. I don't want to win 400 races to get it either!!! Sony's greed killed this game

    Can't play 70$ game without internet. 70$ game has incredibly overpriced currency on the store, which should not be there to begin with. Cars that would cost 3$-5$ previously with a direct purchase, now cost anywhere from 10$-200$. When servers go down, (for example: 30 hours) i'm left with a blue and red paperweight.

    Polyphony have really dropped the ball with this one. Was good at launch but after some recent patches it has made the game way more of a grind to try and get you to buy the micro transactions.

    I have been playing over 30 hrs and only collected 3mil cred. barely enough to buy few cars and upgrade. When each race only pays out 20-30k, 50-70k on the championship, you starts to wonder.

    One of the daily race was to race with 60s hatchbacks, and while everyone was driving the Mini, I've decided to ramp up the 500 and spend 90k upgrading. oh boy how I was wrong, it's **** and slow as well and Minis just beat me. Was it worth it, def not, but that's the part of the fun. HOWEVER, to gain back 90k I had to go other races like 4-5 times.

    The game does not give you room for wasting credits, as in make some stupid upgrade decision,s buy some ****ty old car and bring to race etc. You follow the pack and grind more or you have to grind again AI ****ty drivers that literally rams you and throws you off course. (yeah this is the WORST AI drivers I've ever seen)

    and always online is ok, but multi-players should be open, gosh the network check is stupidly slow and aggressive. (takes over few min to give up the check and finally let me in to the game when the back end was down) bloody hell, when login/check times out (in 30sec or so) just move on, why wait on the screen for longer? who designed this network client?

    Just too many flaws (not because of MTX) but systematically. 2/10 game for me.

Car prices are higher, older cars are nearly unattainable, and GT have partnered with Hagerty to make the prices reflect real time, which means they will only go up. Unlike real life, we can’t sell cars to get money back. Second, the AI suck. Even the hardest AI difficulty is bad, and they push you out of the way. The career mode that was hyped so much is full of chase the leader races, this is simply outdated in today’s world. I don’t want to start 30 seconds behind 1st place and pass everyone like they’re standing still. And the career mode is small. I finished it in a week. There are less events than GT Sport. The always online requirement worsens the experience further. For over a day, we could not access the game at all due to trashy update by PD. The physics aren’t good either, the cars have a laughable amount of oversteer while not being a simulator at all. If you want a true sim, get ACC or something. The rally physics are absolutely TERRIBLE. It’s like a mobile game the way it handles. There is not much more new content than GT Sport. This game was marketed really well and tricked myself and thousands of others into spending 70 dollars for it. Never again I am buying a GT game. Kaz doesn’t care. PD don’t care. All they want is more money. Don’t let yourself get tricked into buying this game. Expand

    This game has so many serious issues. Cars are extremely expensive and very hard to obtain, the developer almost forces you to buy their OBSCENELY expensive microtransactions so you can buy cars.
    The only alternative is mind-numbing grind for literal DAYS to afford just one of the better cars.
    Artificial car rarity with weird invitation mechanics and timed auction house make even harder

The single player career is shockingly short, you always start from the rear of the field.

    I bought an Xbox as my first new console for the first time this generation. I’ve returned to my PS4 for Gran Turismo 7 and I’m so disappointed.

Firstly I still love the detail, the information and various car related thingsI bought an Xbox as my first new console for the first time this generation. I’ve returned to my PS4 for Gran Turismo 7 and I’m so disappointed. The value of Gamepass has made spending £60 on a game almost unbelievably extravagant and only my love for previous games (not Sport) convinced me it was worthwhile. Firstly I still love the detail, the information and various car related things you can do to spend your time. I even like the way it still feels very similar to all the old GT games despite the talk of new super realistic tyres modelling etc. Being online only is an absolute disaster. I regularly finish a race only for it to say I’m offline (no issues with my Xbox on exactly the same network) and ignore any progress, what I’d really like is the return of the epic several hour long GT races but you could never do that with this system, it’s far too unreliable. So online only has to go for single player (I should have learnt after sport) The second thing is the sheer greed, I spent a lot of time with Forza Horizon 5 and while it does give things away far too easily that is much better than the (micro?) transactions Sony expect you to buy. There is so far very little value for money, it offers not much more than Sport for much more money then tries to pry more out of you to buy cars that were in the game at least a decade ago for much less. I think if Forza Motorsport is good that’ll be me done with Playstation, the reasons for buying a PS5 are pretty much 0 for me at the moment. They need to sort this quick but they don’t seem to realise it. Expand

These changes include that I am unable to play even half of the game when offline or without an internet connection.

    The whole experience is just hollow. Compared to past games, it’s painful to play. Compared to other similar games, it just doesn’t cut it. Take the car selection for example - it feels like 95% of the cars you expect to see are missing! Surely a developer like #PolyphonyDigital has the budget to properly license current car models from the big manufacturers that are relevant? Feels like the included cars are just recycled from older titles. And why can’t you sell cars?! That’s just poor. All to earn money from the players. Shoddy.

    Don’t even get me started on the pathetic excuse for multiplayer! How can a game that’s been in development for so long have such a poor multiplayer experience?! It’s like an early access title! I want my money back.

    The core driving experience is excellent, hook up a driving wheel and this is easily 10/10 .. cars and tuning representation from the interiors, exteriors, livery editor, and photo mode also excellent.

    That said, the Cafe is NOT a campaign, more of a side mission. For a game that literally took 2 console generations to complete (remember, GT6 was released on PS3), that's a huge blow.

    Meeting place on select maps was a cool idea in theory, but executed so poorly. Allow us to get out of the cars and walk around and admire our machines, like a virtual car & coffee meet. 1/10

Why in the tuning shop can't I view my cars stats so I an make judgements on equipment I want to buy, but instead you have to back out of the store, to go to your garage, look at your stats, then exit the garage, then go back into the store to buy the item, to then have to exit the store, enter a race for time trial, to test and tune. You see how much time is spent just clicking clicking clinking in and out of menus, instead of doing everything directly from with in the shop? You should also be able to be in a race, and from the tuning menu, be able to buy directly from there, so you don't have to back all the way out to go to the store. Why can't you view the weather prior to entering the race? Instead of entering the race just to find out, oh I have to back out and buy tires bc its raining. There is a ton of this clicking around menus which gets tiresome/time consuming. The campaign was way too easy to the point where I thought I was in a tutorial the entire time, then all of a sudden it was over and all I did for every race was just buy racing breaks and racing soft tires. I basically just accidentally ran through it not even realizing that I was actually playing the campaign not a tutorial and this is a dude who hasn't played GT since gt1 and 2. I'm tired of typing now but the nail in the coffin for me, for a $70 game, is the fact that the game becomes unplayable if you cannot connect to the servers. You can't even get into your garage. I don't even play multiplayer, and you lock me out of my $70 stand alone racing game. I'm not going to beat the dead horse about the in game economy since thats very obvious.

    Gran Turismo 7 has a lot of good and plenty of great. The use of DualSense and the particularly well-tuned loading is exemplary, and there's a huge amount of work behind the game, with a lot of detail that's almost hard to believe at times. [Issue#318]

    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.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to motorsport history and an impeccable technical showcase. The franchise's traditional formula gets good improvements, but it's still extremely true to its roots. One of the best racing series ever shines spectacularly on the PS5.
