    MTX mess and offline servers. Great way to waste $75. Poly and Sony should be ashamed that they released this mess. Fix the game RIGHT now!!

    Impossible to unlock all cars without micro-transactions.
    Can not even play the single player during server problems.
    I'm slowly considering requesting a refund..

    Absolutely farcical. The game was initially a grind but the reports and screen grabs taken of the update for 1.07 are a slap in the face of the GT community. They're pushing microtransactions for a game that is already £70. Polyphony should be ashamed of what they've done.

    I just registered to rate this great Disappointment.
    The game requires always online, but the Servers are down. MTX are the main pillar of the whole concept. You don't earn enough money to buy anything??
    Great, I can play the f*** music rally. Thank you, PD.

    Im buying a $70 AAA game with PS3 graphics. However, on top of that they raised the prices of "micro"transactions and now they are reducing the payouts in order to make us pay for the not so "micro"transactions...

    Also the game requires you to be always online so dodge it while you still can

    Can't play single player if the servers are down, servers have been down over 24hrs meaning the game is unplayable, credit payouts for races are ridiculously low trying to push you to use microtransactions

    For a racing game, the cars look and sound great and the circuits look stunning in 4k. However, everything else about this game is just dreadful. It's got a half-assed story mode with only 38 missions. They ruined the economy in this game by nerfing the already abysmal credit payouts in order to force players to buy credits with real-world money. A disappointing entry in the GT series.

    Bought this Thursday, came home poped it in, installing (for a looong time), finally booting up, servers offline, no worries I'll just do single player. BUT YOU CANT. Server maintenance has been going on for more than 24 h now! Once I will be able to play I will surely also find out about horrible microtransaction.

    I'm dissapointed

    Game is built around microtransactions. Servers have been down for over 24 hours, preventing any progression in single player modes. Remove online dependency for single player progression, remove microtransactions, and beef up the single player content. Core gameplay is fun, dragged down by corporate greed. This is a £70 game, not F2P.

    Always online single player game is mind blowing to me.
    Micro transactions are bad but dont affect me since i dont use it.
    Not being able to sell cars is ridiculous and pathetic way of trying make people buy credit with money + their "generosity of giving cars in game" makes no sense since its only to watch them in your useless garage. gameplay is great, fun driving, really good

    Terrible game made worse by the always online DRM and aggressive micro transaction model they've employed. The game has been offline and unplayable for over 24 hours now and they've reduced payouts on races meaning more of your precious time is needed to grind credits to buy cars.. But the want you to buy credits. Used to love the franchise, this is an insult.

    Extremely disappointed in Polyphony and Sony. A broken tyre model that has led to most cars being basically undriveable without assists. Appalling use of tactics to force users towards micro transactions to achieve any sort of progress in the game.

    The latter includes removing the ability to sell cars for money, despite it being mentioned that you could, no cash prizes for multiplayer

    The latter includes removing the ability to sell cars for money, despite it being mentioned that you could, no cash prizes for multiplayer lobbies, extremely poor daily roulette rewards which are weighted towards the poorest prize (and even then, the best prize is generally still terrible). And worst of all they are actively patching the game to quash any vaguely reasonable, legitimate methods for earning cash.

    Why do we need an on-line connection for single play as well?
    I bought it as a package and it made no sense at all.
    Besides, it's been over 24 hours without a maintenance progress report. Terrible neglect.

    I would like to urge the developers to take a hard look at this.

    Pay to win casino game. Copy GT Sport, paste as GT 7. There is nothing new, far away from sim, it's really easy arcade racing, but you are going to drive **** slow cars for a long time, until you can purchase one-two fast cars... or you can purchase them for real money, that's the big idea here.

    I'm done paying for video games. I was stung by Cyberpunk 2077, CDPR was supposed to be one of the good guys. Now I've been stung by GT7.

I bought GT7 the other night and I haven't even been able to play the damn career mode since the server has been down the entire time. I can't even save my options settings, apparently you need to be online just to be able to save the fact that you're done watching the 8 minute intro every time you start up the game to nothing. Doesn't sound like I'm missing a career mode judging by the other reviews here , just the Cafe thing, which I thought sounded cool in the pro reviews, but I thought that was a cool side quest, not the whole damb career. I bought this because I've always loved the GT series and the reviews said that it had returned to it's ps1 and ps2 glory days. Obviously even game news is fake news, paid for by sponsors and given a script to read from, they've either never played the old GT or are taking money to lie.

    So yeah, I'm done paying for video games. They all suck now anyway.

    A 8/10 on release, but shortly after securing their bags they scam the costumers with reduced prices money into buying credits via micro transactions. If this wasn't bad enough, the game is offline for over a day now, because they've an issue with that "update". The game is not playable for like 22 hours as the time of writing this review.

    Firstly the prizes for races are woeful. Servers down for over a day with no updates. Music rally is just an absolute joke. Decreased car selection. Microtransaction heavy game. Arcade racing game only, finished the cafe menus and still not a single grid start in sight. The game looks nice but is just a vessel for microtransactions. Will be returning this game.

    I've played all the games for endless hours, skipped GT sport due to no career mode, and was waiting for GT7 to be released.

    Have been locked out of the game for more than a day now while they fix the idea that people might be able to earn enough credits by playing the game that they could afford some of the cars, rather than go with their ridiculous microtransactions.

    You need to be online all the time even for the single player content. The in-game economy is bad, you barely earn any credits and the cars are way more expensive than in the previous games.

    If you also want to play split-screen forget about it. It is even worst than GT Sport. The second player cannot change any assists, change any controller and the car is always slower even when you put all the assists back on for player 1, also there is no AI that can be added to the race even on the PS5 version. Launching the split-screen mode like this just to say there is couch coop is a disgrace and should not even be included in the game in the current state, which I guess will never be updated.

    Scummy cash reward nerfs to push players towards spending money in a $70 game. Always-online to play makes even the single player career mode unplayable for almost a whole day now due to extended server maintenance.

    Lack of new content compared to GT sport. Terrible progression sorry mode (cafe). In game currency is atrocious. Roulette gives you parts for cars you can’t afford or don’t own. Menus continue to be over complicated.

    Unbearable grind on five races, aggressive micro transactions, less content than in the GTS, dead Sport mode, technical problems with the servers. Just unplayable. This is literally the worst part of the GT-series games. Selling this for $90 and asking for a donation is just disrespectful to players and GT fans.

    Do not buy this game if you have a job or other responsibilities. You will never get far in this game without spending large sums of real money. This game has been changed into a big cash grab by Sony. Greed is destroying the gaming industry. Microtransactions should be banned by law worldwide.

    But hey.. they implement the always online **** to prevent save manipulation/cheating.

    - Game economy is completely ruined by pushing insanely hard for micro (more like macro, but OK) transactions. This game is about collecting cars, but with the current rate you will either need to quit your job and grind fulltime or spend thousands and thousands on credits.

    Apart from this there is actually a great base-game hidden in there. But they have just completely ruined the experience for me.

    It's unacceptable that in 2022, server downtime can make a almost solely single-player game completely unplayable due to an 'always online' requirement.

A game which you already have to pay £70 to own, should not be shoving microtransactions in your face at every turn. The developer is strangling users who don't want to buy currency with low payouts for missions and races and this has only been made worse with the latest 1.07 update which slashes many of these payouts further. Almost every new game is like this nowadays and yet game devs continue to get away with it. The only thing we can do as players is to call devs out for their **** practices and behaviour at every opportunity. Games were first created to provide entertainment to the player, not as a way of making already-rich shareholders even richer through pure greed. Expand

    - Waited for early Gamereviews to be done
    - Introduced ingame currency for $$$ and not being able to sell cars
    - Gradually reduced the already meager ingame credit earnings
    - Finish it up with ridiculous RNG for new Gamefeatures and always online

    If Polyphony were aiming for scummiest developer award in 2022 I think they are on a good course

    Server are now down for a long time and there is no way to play the game. Also Microtransactions are being pushed hard since Version .07 slashed most of the price money.

    £70 for a game that I haven’t been able to play for at least 24 hours due to server maintenance and the game requiring an online connection at all times to play, even for single player. Full of micro transactions. Fair enough if it was free to play, but it isn’t. £70 game + they expect you to dish out a further few hundred ££££

    Cars are horribly expensive and there are only a few races that are almost viable to get the credits for them, but still takes an insurmountable amount of grinding to get anything (or of course spending a fortune in real life money).

    Steaming pile of feces. First they hid the microtransactions until release date so they would get better review scores, then 2 weeks later they drop the payout from races to push players toward buying their microtransactions. Can't sell unwanted cars either, for obvious reasons.

    The game is selling at a premium price and still uses nasty tricks to make the player community spend more money to get access to all the content in the game. Besides that the game is only fully playable when connected to the internet and GT servers are not down. Super disappointed in this game and devs

    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. This is the best Gran Turismo experience we have ever seen in a long time.

    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.
