    New update cut the prizes for all races basically trying to force you into microtransactions to be able to buy anything in the game.

    Added micro transactions after initial reviews, updates nerf in game economy so that you are more forced to buy micro transactions. Game is required to be online or else 95% of the game is locked out. It’s an embarrassment to the series as a long time fan of this series.

At first I was so excited to play it, I loved the collecting cars aspect, kinda remembered me at Pokemon with the gonna catch em all aspect. But then I realized that the money making process is very very slow, but still borderline. Then they just released a patch and reduced the money you get to "make the game more realistic" or as they probably really meant, make more money with the game as people will be more willing to spent money on microtransactions which btw are advertised constantly in the game. The game is also always online, even if you just want to play the singleplayer. Probably so that you cant use an older version where you get more money per race :)

    Until now every first party Sony game was fair, (mostly) without microtransactions and when there where problems, the developers heard the feedback and did what the fans begged they would but this game concerns me, I know the game is not a 0 out of 10 but I hope that the developers will see the bad user score and change their mind and reverse their decision to make the game such a grind. Im a grown man, i dont have the time to play the game the whole day long to get some virtual cars. Please listen to the fans and let us have the old racing rewards or even increase them because even that was very very borderline.

    A decent game ruined by **** rewards which is updated to make them even worse making the money payouts one one of the worst in the series history.

    It the most expensive cars in the series history just so the game can steer you into buying credits with real life money. Which it reminds you constantly every time you check your balance. Also, despite previous games allowing you to sell cars and the description of GT7 mentioning you can in the PSN store it is in fact a lie and you can not sell any cars.
    It also uses a FOMO so if you don't have a few million credits just sitting in your balance then you will be forced to buy credits as the reward system doesn't allow you to work for the quantities required to get these cars in the time alloted.

    The always online connection required for essentially a single player game is ridiculous. Especially with it's unplanned outages making the single player aspects of the game completely unplayable.

    Polyphony Digital have a lot to answer for for this game and need to patch it to make the game playable off-line as well as fix the rewards and stop the the blatant push towards microtransactions.
    Making microtransactions available only after the games release once all the positive reviews were already out is a dirty tactic and not one I'd expect from this series or even a first party exclusive Sony game.

Even though I don't think the cafe is as in-depth or rewarding to work towards completing as past single GT single player campaigns, I can appreciate it for what it is. But I can't appreciate that Polyphony Digital has taken 25 years of goodwill surrounding a beloved franchise and thrown it away for the sake of pushing microtransactions.

    The in-game economy is clearly designed to encourage players to spend real money on in-game credits. Many of the cars in the game cost a substantial amount of money and can only be purchased under certain time-restricted conditions, a move that PD is clearly hoping will inspire FOMO-induced spending of real-world money. When players figured out which race had the most efficient time-to-credits payout, PD introduced a game update that substantially reduced that race's earnings. Gran Turismo games have always been grindy, but they've been fair. I don't want an easy game, but I also don't want a game that cheapens itself by making it feel like the only viable way to experience it the way I'd like is by spending more of my real money.

    I could excuse that if this were a free-to-play game, but it isn't; GT7 is a full priced AAA title, and I'm one of the franchise enthusiasts who paid $90 for the commemorative 25th Anniversary Edition hard copy. To make things worse, the single player campaign requires an internet connection. That means that if my internet falters (a not-uncommon issue in rural America where I live) or if the company's servers are down for maintenance or repair (as they were recently, for many hours), I get a substantially impaired single player experience. Taking this to its inevitable conclusion, there may come a time when the company decides the game is no longer with supporting and shuts down the servers, resulting in all players losing their single-player progress and ability to play the full single player campaign.

    I do have some hope, as these issues can be alleviated if PD cares enough to fix them. They've already said they'll be adding more races and championships over time to flesh out the single player campaign, and there's nothing keeping them from adjusting race payouts to better match the time commitments they require. And while I'm not a software engineer, I'd imaging there's a way they can eliminate the always-online requirement to access at least the core functionality of the single player campaign. The game may have some serious flaws, but also plenty of potential as long as PD decides to prioritize user experience over pushing microtransactions.

    I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Do better, Polyphony Digital.

    Total focus on microtransaktions. The new update reduced the rewards and made it even worse. You always have to be online, even if you only play singleplayer. When the server is down you cant play.
    No carrer mode, only a Café which is a joke.
    The game is very short, you are done with it after a weekend.

    You need to earn invitations to buy cars, by spinning a dumb roulette, another clear gambling mechanic. Some cars could cost you 200$ real money to buy. Yes that is not a typo, two hundred real world dollars so you can drive a virtual car.

    With a single installment, they killed a 25 year old franchise.

    Can't even refund because it is a digital copy, and PS Store just denies it, because we downloaded the game. Yes, simply starting the download of a game denies you any chance of refund, even when the game is not working properly with 30+ hours dowtime in a row.

    Will never purchase again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pay to win and grinding required for most late game cars, missing much in the way of progression and career mode. Missing ability to sell used cars and buy car upgrades (they have to be won with tickets...) No endurance races for late game cars. Required online only, if the servers have an update day bye to the game and any add ons you bought also you won't be able to get a refund, might be less of an issue if you can buy the disk version. Also there is an unskippable 10 minute intro credits scene. Game itself is good but it's trying so hard to not let you actually do racing you have to listen to a million interrupting texts that ruin any immersion. It's too bad that this could have been an extremely impressive game but it ended up being another over hyped game that under delivers. Expand

    This game was already terrible before the 1.07 update and a far cry from any of the old GT games where you could keep playing for months. You can finish the cafe and missions and licenses in less than a week, only to be rewarded by the realization that you will never afford any of the good cars by simply playing the game unless you fork out real money.

    As far as gameplay, AI is pretty poor, cars look good in cut scenes but track scenery looks extremely basic. Lots of customization to do as expected but most of the racing is spent playing catch up to the leaders and earning cars that mostly go unused and most importantly, cannot be sold for cash to fund purchases for worthy cars.

    Extremely disappointed in this purchase and wish I had at least bought the disc to sell it back. Instead, I'm stuck with a game I'm forced to spend real money on to enjoy.

    The response to the community outrage by Kaz was a non-apology, telling us that GT is meant to be a long-term game, and that prices should "reflect the real world." In what real world does a championship race cup payout less than the cost of racing tires?!

    So I wanted to do another 3h 24h endurance race on N24 (8x time compression). I set the whole thing up, weather carefully selected to have lots of rain this time. Selecting a nice mixed grid from my garage, all the highest pp cars I have so far. And then I want to race and see my current car is still the fish rally car. Can't change it I press go race, the game informs me you can't use dirt tires on this track and throws me out, resetting all settings. FFS.

    Shame on you PD, this long time fan has really had it with you right now. Yes I'll still do my race, I was smart enough to take a screenshot of my weather 'program' (random didn't generate a drop of rain last time) so will fill in all the details yet again. But have a nice 1 star review added on top of the rest.

So I waited to play the game until a new update was offered to fix the problem and made the game playable. Three days passed I updated the game and it turns out that I couldn’t play it because the patch could erase your saved data and the servers were down for more then a day and the game couldn’t connect to the service so I couldn’t play my physical version of the game.

It’s been a week and a half since I purchased the game I’ve only been able play it a couple of hours since then. What a disappointment in every way.

    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.
