    This game is a shameless money-grab. The driving feels good, but everything else is below par. Online DRM, an absolute rigged lottery ticket system, inability to sell cars, poor graphics, purposeful tediousness to encourage microtransactions. This series is a shell of what it was once.

    This is really awful after they raise the price of car in the latest patch...The classic two steps forward one step back maneuver, followed by a sneaky half step forward now that the backlash has died down in an attempt to see how much they can push and get away with.

    The egregious micro transactions made me lose faith in this game. They just made it worse with the new update, thinking no one would see it coming or comment on it after the initial storm blew over

    So much potential here wasted, and Kazunori Yamauchi's reasoning behind the monetization is silly. Trying to tie a game car to real life value?

    I can't recommend this game to anyone until they address the horrendous monetization.

    In patch 1.07 Polyphony just made it harder to earn in-game credits by reducing race rewards in hope to force people to pay real money for it…

    I mean come on… with most of the money grab decisions from Sony this generation, this is still a new low. I am just gonna stop playing GT7 and go back to Horizon 5…..

    Good job on increasing car prices in update 1.15. This game is garbage.

The inability to enjoy the campaign without internet is unforgivable. I can understand the high price for cars to be reflective of real world cars but you have to give a little on either being awarded those same cars with difficult races or by making credits easier to come by. Not only did they do neither of those but they nerfed payouts and made it where you can't sell reward cars which was a huge feature of the earlier games. This is a robbery of $70 ($100 in my case since I bought the 25th anniversary edition since I am a religous fan). I paid resell value for a PS5 because I wanted to play this game so bad. I genuinely feel lied to and swindled as someone who has gone out of their way to play every Gran Turismo. I have learned an expensive lesson. EDIT: the game has hardly improved from this. They are ruining the franchise.… Expand

Matchmaking takes years, no real penalties, UI is horrible (has been great in GT Sports), lobbies cant start races, people divebomb to hell and get no penalties.
    After a race, there are six screens you need to hammer the X button through before you can actually do what you want.

    This game is a absolute failure.

    Not joking: The first patch added some more music.

    Edited after a few months: The next 3 patches are in. The BOP is still completely screwed up. Lobbies still dont work and settings there cant be saved.

    Ok so here is my full-fledged 115 HOUR REVIEW of the game:
    -Definitely a step up from Sport (but a step down at the same time). GT7 has much more content, a meatier campaign, and a more exciting lineup of cars. However at the same time, the main “campaign” is nothing more than “complete menu book this complete menu book that” and it’s not even that long (20-ish hours or so). And post-game    Ok so here is my full-fledged 115 HOUR REVIEW of the game:
    -Definitely a step up from Sport (but a step down at the same time). GT7 has much more content, a meatier campaign, and a more exciting lineup of cars. However at the same time, the main “campaign” is nothing more than “complete menu book this complete menu book that” and it’s not even that long (20-ish hours or so). And post-game content, at least at launch, isn’t enough, like for example there is only ONE event shown for Mount Panorama, a track that I enjoyed in 6 and Sport. And some cars, ESPECIALLY the Legend cars, are a MASSIVE grind to get. I get it’s based on real-world prices but dang it’s too high.
    -The Dualsense features are amazing, it vibrates everytime the car changes gears, and it vibrates in a certain side of the controller when I accidentally go into the shoulder. And it helped me master manual transmission, thus making Automatic for me obsolete.
    -Graphics, it's Gran Turismo so of course it's amazing in the graphics department. However sometimes it lags on the PS4 version especially in rainy weather.
    -“I would say the internet-required thing may be worrisome but tbh I have a stable connection so this is more of a nitpick. I'd say as long as they update the game to be playable offline once it has reached the end of its life cycle, then I don't see this much of an issue” says my stupid-a** 1 1/2 months ago. The internet outage during update 1.07/1.08 IMO ruined Gran Turismo’s reputation. The moment GT8 is announced to require an internet connection, HA! COUNT ME OUT. However, that’s not the worst feature of this game;
    -The push for a live-service model (microtransactions, feeling incomplete at launch, car rotation/overpricing). Seriously I’ll say it again from my previous review: F**K MICROTRANSACTIONS. I’m never, EVER, paying for sh*t in this game, I already spent $118 for this game, isn’t that enough? And the direction this game is taking to becoming another AAA live-service game by making the game “better” by releasing it unfinished then updating it, it just feels lazy. Like PD made GT4, a game that feels so complete at launch in an era where internet isn’t prevalent, no such thing as a PS Store, and regular updates/patches wasn’t a thing. I want a GT game like that again PD.
    -And lastly they patched the SRT Tomahawk glitch through update 1.15 so my only method of grinding credits is now gone sadly. RIP Tomahawk you were a real one.

    Verdict: GT7 made me smile in its few hours or so. However that magic disappears once you reach the half-point of the campaign and it drags on post-game. I’m burned out from this game and I’m left disappointed. It might get better overtime but as of right now, it’s best for me to shelf this game and move on to better games.

    And there aren’t nearly enough ways to make any money of consequence.

    Forza is so loose and liberal with its gifts. Immediate, frequent, varied. How does Gran Turismo watch 5 iterations of Forza Horizon and think this product is okay. I feel like I’m scrounging under my couch to find enough loose change to purchase a pack of Oscar Meyer wieners. No one cared about sport. GT3-Spec was underwhelming. Whatever good will you once had with the community has been lost. Shame, shame, on your house. I wanted so bad to be loyal to you, because you came first after all. But you have forced my hand.

    First of all, the cars included in this game is a lot less compared to previous GT releases. They are mostly cars from before 2017 which is a cool but would like to have a lot more modern cars included in the game. The tracks that are included in the game are extensive and different types of race tracks for every taste.

    Graphics are great in the game menu, the gallery photoshop mode and the replays of races. Although I would say the graphics within the actual racing is not up to standard with the PS5.
    Using the pulse 3d headphones the sound of the engine and cars around you is very immersive. It is also good to hear some of the throwback songs from older GT games included too.
    Driving the cars is great, it feels like you are driving a real car and works very well with the PS5 controller. You can feel the weight of the car when driving around corners and you need to be cautious when driving in the rain.
    The GT cafe would be good as a extra, not as the main "storyline". Personally I think that when you are completing the story it would make more sense to compete in different cups or championships in one go instead of going from one type of championship to another, as you dont feel as immersed in the "storyline". This way you could include some sort of qualification into races and a points system for every type of championship. Sometimes the game is like a catch up simulator, where you cant truly race other cars to win unless your car is much more powerful. Every race you start in last place and its a rolling start to make your life harder.
    Controls are good with the haptic feedback and the new triggers R2 and L2.
    Online play is fun on the GT sport mode where people take the races more seriously. In the normal online mode, you can be spending ages waiting to join races as you scroll through the different lobbies. When joining a lobby it will often say the lobby is full even though this is not the case.

    The AI in the game is a lot better than the previous versions of GT. The AI will fight back more for position in races although it does still feel slight on rails at times. It is still not perfect and comparing to much older racing games it is still not as good.

    The in game menu is a good throwback to the older GT games. It is easy to navigate, but simple things like being able to see the weather forecast before picking your tyres is not there. You can end up on slick tyres when its pouring with rain which is frustrating. Also to change your car when racing other players online you have to come out of online mode and into your garage which is annoying and time consuming when you spend ages of time trying to connect to races.

    Overall the gameplay is good, content is bad, would only recommend if you are a fan of the GT series or if you really like racing games.    … Expand

    There are two franchises that will always sell - a good one called Mario Kart and a terrible one called Gran Turismo. This series has always been about as exciting as poking one of your eyeballs out with a sharpened pencil. It's shockingly easy and doesn't have near the replay value or graphical fidelity of Forza (the highest rated racing series of all time).

Even if you do manage tonsave for your dream car and all the upgrades, which can run an additional 300k credits, you'll most likely have to enter it into capped race which will limit the vehicles performance.

    The ticket/lottery system is also a joke. You'll esrn tickets for certain accomplishment in game, rated 1-5 stars. Don't get excited when you see the potential prizes though because the "spin" will almost always land on the smallest prize, usually a nominal amount of in game currency.

    Once career mode is over there is very little to do besides grind through races you've played dozens of times and buy new cars. There is always one type of vehicle and setup which will be better than others at a particular race and, once you find it, there is little incentive to change cars. The only reason I still play is because I'm trying to justify the $100 I spent to buy it.

This game isn't getting "review bombed", it's getting accurate criticism. After the initial drama over the updates and the minor changes we got to the game, there was a brief period of optimism that the game would get better. Unfortunately it hasn't. Is it easier to grind for credits to buy the cars you want now? Yes. But there's still nothing much to do in the game. PD sent out their apology and made a bunch of promises after the initial backlash, but we've heard nothing since. Their last message to the players was that we were getting a bunch of stuff added including "new course layouts" before the end of April, and all we got was a single change to the pits at Spa. They haven't said anything since. So much for the optimism.

    The more you try to play this game, the worse it gets. There's only 3 races with decent rewards, so if you want to get the expensive cars you end up on a mindless grind. Defenders of the game will tell you that the new rewards for getting gold on all the circuits will give you a ton of credits, but the cars in the legends dealership are so expensive that if you gold literally everything that's still not enough to buy even 3 of the high end cars, and those rewards can only be earned once. Also, the cars rotate so slowly in the legend dealership that if you can't afford a car it'll be at least 2 months before you ever see it again.

    The roulette ticket system is horribly broken (there's plenty of videos about that on YouTube if you want to know more). I've done the daily workout for 50 straight days, and 47 times I got either the lowest money reward possible, a useless part for a car I already own, or an invitation to buy a car I already have. The other 3 times I got a cheap car I already had. Which, of course, I cannot sell because they still haven't added that feature to the game despite the PSN store falsely claiming you can sell stuff in the game since day 1. This wouldn't even matter except ALL engine swaps in the game are locked behind this rigged ticket system. There is NO way in the game to earn engine swaps any other way. What in the world were they even thinking by doing this?

    The penalty system for online races makes no sense. You'll get hit by another player and get a penalty while they get nothing. Minor contact gives you a penalty, but a player trying to intentionally ram someone so hard that the game ghosts their car to prevent it gets zero penalty. It makes absolutely no sense and ruins the online experience.

    There are a ton of really fast cars in the game, and absolutely zero events to use them in. The most frustrating part of that is that those events are already built into the game and they just wont enable them. PD had Jimmy Fallon playing the game prior to launch and you can see race options for the game prior to release that included Gr1 and high performance point races on Daytona that the paying customers still don't have access to. I guess only celebrities get that content, not paying customers.

    The performance point system is horribly broken. You can wildly skew the ratings of any car in the game by making the first couple of gears unusable and doing weird suspension settings. Until they fix this the game will be in a bad state.

    In summary, this game was launched as a terrible exercise in how to bleed customers for microtransaction money. While that's been partially fixed, the rest of the game is still in a terrible state. It's unfortunate because under all the terrible design decisions made by PD that are ruining the game, there is actually the bones of a really great racing game with stunning visuals and fun driving. This entire drama is solely the result of the terrible leadership decisions at PD. It can be fixed, and I really hope it will be fixed at some point, but there's no reason to recommend this game to anyone in it's current state, and all my friends who've been asking me if they should get it have been told to wait for future updates. This is a huge disappointment. The people who changed their reviews to 10s after the tiny changes we got make absolutely no sense to me. PD isn't communicating with their costumers AT ALL and no longer deserves the faith people are trying to place in them.    … Expand

    An awesome game yet again ruined by greedy corporates. Microtransactions should never have been implemented in the first place. This isn’t the gran turismo I remember.

    C'est simple.
    Microtransactions dans un jeu acheté plein tarif, c'est inadmissible.
    Sans oublié l'histoire de dépondre d'une connexion internet pour un jeu qui contient une partie majoritaire de jeu solo. C'est abusif.

    There are a lot of positives with this game, but they are not even worth mentioning because of the many many thing that ruin the game completely.

    The greedy developers made the cars crazy expensive relatively to the earning for racing. When someone finds a way to grind money a little faster, Polyphony makes an update to intentionally ruin this.

    When people (whether AI or real people online) crash into you, YOU get a penalty instead of them. You get penalties for nothing basically. Polyphony is like a bully, it forces you to look at videos about sportsmanship and then gives you a penalty for someone pushing you into a wall. So theres this paradox when they tell you behave, but then practically motivate you to crash into people, because they will get a penalty, not you.

    The AI is made so that it intentionally crashes into you all the time when they have a blue flag.

    There are just a few tracks and all of them are sterile.

    The offline portion doesnt work when you are offline. That means that when Polyphony decides to do something with the servers, you are not allowed to play. Sometimes it malfunctions and you lose a 60 minute race (lose like it behaves you never attended that race) you were 57 minutes in in the last lap.

    You cant sell cars, which was something the developers said you could do. There is much more that the developers lied about. Like they announced that there will be a live service, new tracks and cars all the time. To this day, more than two months from release, there is zero new tracks and about three new cars, but they all are i think three Subaru BRZs, which are all the same car with just tiny differences.

    Even my 1 star rating is too much in cases when the game goes offline, because the game is literally, without exaggeration, unplayable. An unplayable game doesnt deserve even one star, one star is for a game that at least functions.

    If you travel at least 42 km a day in the game, it means you made the Daily challenge and you get a lottery ticket for prizes, which are often nice, but you almost never get them. This lottery is mega-rigged. Statistics of players show that it is programmed so that you almost always get the lowest prize (the game makes it seem that there are 6 prizes and there is therefore a 1:5 change to win an exact prize, but it is not like that, you have a more than 90 % chance to win the garbage, the rest is for the good stuff - proved by research of players), which is 2000 credits. That is a bad joke because you can´t buy anything for such a low amount. The tickets are also predetermined, so the lottery animation is just another deception from the developer. Yesterday i received an invitaion for Citroen. That means that if you are lucky and win this invitation, the game will allow you to buy an overpriced car from the dealership.

    The campaign is very short and again a big lie from the developers, since they promised something else than this short campaign.

    In every campaign race, you start last in a rolling start. If it was just sometimes, no problem, but this is literally always in the campaign.

    There are not many cars. I think there are like 420 of them at the moment, but often they are just slightly different versions of the same car. So if you don´t count these copies and fictional cars, it´s more like 200 cars at best.

    Basically, the game is made so that it makes you more angry than happy, it looks like if it was made by perverted people who indulge in sadism.

    When i think of it, Im lowering my rating to zero, because this game is so much of a scam and theres a difference between a game and a scam that tries to look like a game. The latter doesnt even deserve a 1 rating.    … Expand

Creators tried to go for the realism simulation vibe, which makes sense for vehicle prices, as far as earnings go, you complete 3 races, you get a wheelspin. Couldn't be farther from it's own game, they had to take the forza wheels pin and add it in so all the 10 year olds love it.

After using GT Sport for a while decided to get GT7 hoping it would improve some aspects of the game. Unfortunately that is not the case.
    Although there is definitely more content in the game the playability is subpar in some aspects like menu navigation. However what I find most irritating is the fact that it is now much (MUCH) harder to get cars because of the ridiculous increase in their price in credits and the cut in prices for using the game. For instance - driving more than 42km would give you a new car in GT Sport but only a ticket to a "Roulette" in GT7 which 99% of the times gives you the smallest prize (generally Cr5000). And this is not just complaining that I can't get a McLaren F1 like I did in GTS; it means that getting to the point in which you can get a GT3 car will take you a lot of time to even start driving what many of us consider a drivable car for a race. There are many beatiful road cars but most of them are extremely boring to drive unless you spend a lot of money in parts. When I started playing GT7 I found it quite dull because of the cars you are allowed to play at the beginning of the game until you get enough money to get a car you like. Had I not payed USD70 I would have stopped playing this game at all.
    I believe that the price model and the lack of options to run at least a few good cars and tracks for "free" at the start of the game is a real shame. PD is completely abusive in this respect - no matter what they claim regarding collectability of cars and real life value. It is absurd to spend USD70 on a game and not be able to have real fun and explore "real" sim racing (at least GT wise) for weeks unless you pay even more.
    I left a lot of other things unmentioned - like the absence of many new cars or always-online issue because that has already been mentioned several times.    … Expand

The customization is also great, not only while customizing the performance of the cars but also their looks (as well as the driver´s look). It also looks amazing, Polyphony as usual surprises us with their amazing car models,    Positives:

    Gameplaywise this game is fantastic, I´ve been playing this game for over 50hs now with most license tests on gold that the driving is really deep. The customization is also great, not only while customizing the performance of the cars but also their looks (as well as the driver´s look). It also looks amazing, Polyphony as usual surprises us with their amazing car models, tracks, weather effects and more! There are only over 400 cars in the game, but with the amount of detail and polish each one has it is acceptable, because the time required to make highly detailed cars in 3D is absurd.

    Negatives:

    Unfortunately the AI of this game is not that good, they other cars don´t feel like other players but more like just bots. The story mode is different and it could´ve worked out, but it needs polish (at least for GT8).

    Ugly negatives:
    The grind in this game is the worst kind of grind ever, because the rewards the game gives the player are very low compared to how high some of the car prices are. This is emphasized if you want to platinum the game, because to do that you have to spend 25.5M credits on 3 legendary cars that you will probably never use outside of photo mode or to try them out.
    This also highlights another issue that is that said cars can only be purchased within limited windows of opportunity because of a new system used to purchase cars, which is that the used cars and the legendary cars are only available within a limited amount of time, but they are randomly swapped for other cars and god knows when the previous cars will be in stock again. In previous titles the used cars switched when the player won a race or a championship, so at least the player had some agency in that. This is of course is made so that in desperation of never getting the car you want you purchase overpriced credits with real money in hope of getting more revenue for the game. I also forgot to mention that some standard cars have "car invitations" for you to purchase within a limited window of time, which are not as bad as the used and legendary cars, but still worth mentioning.
    And the killer design choice of this game is DRM (digital rights management) for a single player game, which is just insane. A player who bought this with their own U$S60 or got it with a gift should be able to play 100% of the single player content with no restrictions, but the DRM makes it so that the player is locked off 95% of it while they don´t have an internet connection. If the game was free or online only this wouldn´t be a problem, but as it is right now it pretty much is. I have had the game not giving me the rewards I deserved for a race or a license test multiple times because my internet connection is bad, and that is not acceptable. If Polyphony were to fix this then the game would still be a grind, but at least you´d be able to play it with just your PS5/PS4, a tv and electricity.

    Conclusion:

    This game plays and it looks fantastic, the story could´ve used some work and the used/legendary cars scheme and DRM for single player should be fixed immediately.    … Expand

This strategy has been an exploit ever since the very first title was released and I would like to see this being balanced out. Other exploits are abound, cutting corners, driving straight over S-bend sections, with absolutely no penalty being issued at all.

    Much improved game from GT Sport. It gets you the some of the feelings of GT2 and 3 with the tune shop and used car lot. The nostalgia and pride of working through races to get the car of your dreams is something special.

    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.
