    A brilliant racing simulator by Polyphony Digital with great drivability and excellent graphics that is sadly ruined by their lack of respect for their players, their push for MXTs and recently the nerfing of race prizes to further reinforce the previous point.
    Also the number of cars isn’t that impressive and even worst many of them are VGTs, which are mostly made up prototypes, so are quite pointless.
    Then there’s the Café dialogs in Pokémon style subtitles. They couldn’t do a lazier job there!
    I can look past the always-online requirement though. as it allows for some cool features such as the friends time board - I don’t even look at the golden time, the most important thing is to do it even quicker than my friends!
    As a fan of this series since the first GT, it saddens me to say that if they keep up this imbalance between race rewards and cost of cars and upgrades (the prices are just ridiculous!) while pushing to sell you credits, where the player is always struggling to buy the next car or upgrade it, despite the awesome drivability and graphics, GT7 is a game to play for a little while and then forget about it. It’s not worth the grind!

    Cmon seriously sony you have so much money but you put microtransactions and require always online for the game.

    Microtransactions: 1 car for 50$ like who does that
    Always online required, so it means that i wont be able to play the game in 10 years.

    You were better in early ps4 days.

I love Gran Turismo and I’ve been waiting years for this game, I finally got it and it saddened me that the game is heavy on micro transactions, you pretty much need to spend close to $40 dlls to get one of the best cars in the game, I could farm credits but SONY just decreased the amount of credits given per race making it close to impossible to get some of the limited time offers to get legendary cars. Sony fix this I already paid $90 for this game then I get treated like this?

    Also another huge issue is that you have to be online always to play this game, then why I paid for the disc???? Servers went down for more than 24hrs!!! Why? How come I cannot play offline while the server issue gets fixed?

    Sony is dropping the ball big time with GT7 and at this point I don’t recommend this game to anyone.

    Outrageous push to buy microtransactions. Does Yamauchi expect us to play his game 24/7. There is no long term vision that I see coming. If he wants to curate the GT experience to this point, remove ALL microtransactions and then he will have a foot to stand on. I paid the full price of 80 Euros on PSN to support this game and I now regret it. This is just a greedy cash grab.

    Always online DRM also means no game preservation 20 years down the line. We need Polyphony to promise an off line mode once the servers shut down.
    The driving physics when the car jumps in off road races are also very unrealistic and the game preventing cars from rolling over also adds to the sense of unrealism.

    On-line requirement for single player mode and the insane push towards micro transactions completely destroys this game, no matter how pretty it is. It has, to my knowledge, the worst in-game economy there ever was, and that's in a game focused on the off-line single player campaign, and sold at a full retail price. Disgusting.

    - toujours pas de déformation de carrosserie - toujours pas de défaillance moteur en cas de dépassement intempestif du rupteur - les voitures restent scotchées à la route sur le sec, même en retirant les aides à la conduite - elle est où la soit disante IA miracle GT Sophy ? Aux abonnés absents (encore un mensonge de Sony), résultat on se farcit encore des IA débiles qui se suivent à la queue leuleu - sous la pluie c’est l’inverse on décroche beaucoup trop, c’est du n’importe quoi !

    - courses nerfees pour qu’on achète des crédits avec son porte monnaie : Sony for the payeurs plus que jamais !

    Bref GT7 est à nouveau un jeu arcade pour casual gamers conducteurs du dimanche et collectionneurs de voitures majorettes !
    Pour les vrais amoureux des circuits et du gameplay : Go jouer à Forza motorsport 7 en attendant le 8 qui va encore enterrer GT7 sur metacritic !
    Graphiquement c’est juste un GT Sport PS4 légèrement amélioré !
    Même Grid legends fait mieux en terme d’IA avec ses nemesis !
    Ce jeu n’est plus que la pâle ombre de ce qu’il fut jadis : une référence. Aujourd’hui c’est l’objet de critiques et de railleries bien méritées !

GT is to me about cars and the car industry so getting cars and tuning them etc. is the most important part. If I just wanted the most realistic sim this would not be the one. I just payed 100€ (!!!) for the anniversary edition and it feels like I got a MTX heavy GaaS with a progression that is like a chore. The gameplay loop is not rewarding at all, oh and it's 95% unplayable on a regular basis for unspecified amounts of time because of server maintenance.

    ----------------------
    Pro:
    The game looks amazing.
    Runs amazing.
    There are many cars to collect.
    This game is packed with features to enjoy.
    Feels much like old game series with buying upgrades. and taking care of your cars.

    Cons:
    The physics seems spot-on for some cars, but for other like low cheap cars, I feel like I'm driving on ice, for example, the 500 Fiat race, the car's max speed is 55 mph and the turns are very large the car is just skating across the road as if my tires are made of plastic. It leads me to think that they build this game more towards the end game with racecars.

    It does have a pay-to-win feature that is never accepted by the gaming community. This feature can take away that magic of the made the game feel so rewarding in prior versions which is earning your car through the grind.

    Gran Turismo 7 in a nutshell: Pure frustration and disappointment. Grind. Scrapping for money. Free-to-play mechanics for a premium AAA game. Unattainable cars and un-winnable races. A pre-pandemic car list. But at least it's pretty.

    TL;DR: Save yourself the CR70 and don't feel bad walking away from the franchise forever.

    I'm a game developer. Specifically, I'm a developer of racing games. Which is to say, I know my way around the genre and this franchise. And to be clear, I've been playing Gran Turismo since it's first version back on the original PlayStation.

    I don't know what happened along the way, but somehow Polyphony lost its way. In pursuit of being "the REAL driving simulator," they turned it into a life simulator with free-to-play and RNG-driven structures that lead to frustration and disappointment. It's just as unattainable to be "rich" in the game as it is in real life. Want to earn enough to buy that aspirational supercar? Strap in. it's going to take literally hundreds of races.

    At the heart of the problem is an anemic payout system. Roughly speaking, a steady pace is CR100k per 10 minutes of race-winning laps. I haven't done the exact math, but it seems like GT7 pays out at a third or less of that rate. Can you sell a car to make some money back? No. Can you test drive a car before buying it? No. Can you make catastrophic purchase decisions? Absolutely. And there's not a thing you can do about it except put in another hour or two of racing to make that money back.

    Then there's the RNG-driven features like the lottery tickets (loot boxes in ticket form) and the card shuffle. Inevitably, they'll dangle an okay or even a great car or prize in front of you, but their RNG (which hardly feels random at all) will inevitably give you the lowest or second-lowest payout. A Porche or a CR5k coin stack? Coin stack almost every time. An invitation to buy a ferrari? Great. It's still unaffordable by any reasonable standard in the game's economy. Here are two great cars and a **** one. The card flip will give you the **** one every time. Even if these features are truly randomized, by leaning so heavily on them in their unlock structure, Polyphony are setting you up for disappointment and frustration 66-80% of the time. This leads to anger. Which leads to rage-quitting.

    Staying on frustrating for a moment, the way they put you at the back of the pack at the start of every race is beyond frustrating. I miss the days when GT had qualifying. This let you practice, and improve your chances of winning a race if you put in the time. Instead, you must pass a dozen or so cars every race, no matter what. The race leader meanwhile can sometimes start two or even three turns ahead of you. At Daytona, for example: by the time you cross the start line, the leaders are already into the first infield hairpin on the road track. This means you're overcoming a 30-second+ deficit with every race. If you don't tune your car up, good luck catching up.

    Then there's the car list. I've yet to find a real car in the game more recent than 2019. It's very much as if the car list was locked at the beginning of the pandemic. Want a Corvette C8? No dice. AM Valkyrie? Nope. Porche 992 GT3? Most recent one is a 2016 991. The list goes on and on and on and isn't that deep to begin withonce you get realize they've once again padded their car list dozens and dozens of racing "variants" that only have different liveries.

    My biggest grief--and one that very much plays into the nerfed economy and frustrating game unlocks--is the fact that it is nearly imposible to win a race without tuning your car. And because the tuning shop offers almost nothing in the way of guidance beyond some generic description of the part and vague references to what it might do for you performance-wise, and because many of the changes you make to your care are permanent (e.g. weight reduction, engine mods, etc.), you can easily drop double your car's original worth and end up with a useless, underivable backmarker. CR26k for tunable shocks? CR36k for racing softs? CR50k of weight reductions to drop a couple hundred kilos? I just want to win this stupid series that requires one of two pickup trucks in the game, not create a track day racing supertruck that I'll drive three times and never look at again.

    Racing simulators should be wish-fulfillment at its heart. If I put in the time, win the races, and make smart decisions, I should be able to fill out my aspirational garage. Instead, GT7 frustrates you at almost every step along the way, so you quit the game that you paid $70 for long before you attain those dream cars.

    Bottom line, I've yet to walk away from a play session without feeling frustration and disappointment. I'm done with this franchise.

    Honestly this game is way to greedy , even most of the trophies (achievements) are tied with extremely expensive cars ,which either take insane amount of grinding or insane amount of real world money. For me the game is great (even though it lacks content for the time being) but the way it does NOT reward you for the time , is a reason of its own to never touch the game

    The individual cost of many of the cars is now in the HUNDREDS of real-life dollars.
    If you choose to only earn credits in-game, expect to have to complete hundreds of races over and over in order to earn enough to buy just ONE of those cars.
    And that was BEFORE their prize nerfs. Now it's even worse with update 1.08!!

    I play the game only as a single player but you always need to be online (DRM) and the other day for 30hours the game was unplayable due to a badly tested patch and the lack of a rollback scenario, only because the game is a "game as a service".
    The whole microtransaction crap was introduced AFTER the reviews for the game where out. As a consumer and (former) fan of GT I never was informed by this toxic practice. It's clear PlayStations arrogance we saw at the start of PS3 is back in full force and I don't like it.
    I will not buy any PlayStation games anymore on release as the company can't be trusted. Check if there has DRM (even in single player games) and forms of monetization in the full priced game, if so, then don't buy it, don't let Sony ruin gaming with their toxic attempt to make games as a service!

The game itself is little more than a single player update to the previousl GT Sport. The car list is very similar, with most cars even appearing in exactly the same livery. The used car lot was their big addition. Did I mention single player? Yeah, because of it's micro transactions, the game, despite being 90% single player, requires a constant connection to the server. Kaz states this is "to avoid cheating". The only thing Kaz Yamauchi is afraid of is being cheated out of his micro transactions. Expand

    It was and still is a great racing game. Stunning cars but somewhat sloppy on the rest. For instance when it get dark it's like someone hits a lightswitch. Some challenges within the same difficulty are really simple and some impossible (or almost). It is a shame that they haven't put more effort in actually teaching people how to race.

    They say they want to replicate the real world exclusivity and prices of rare and exotic vehicles within Gran Turismo 7. Their attempts at mimicking the real world sadly end there.

    They say they want to replicate the real world exclusivity and prices of rare and exotic vehicles within Gran Turismo 7. Their attempts at mimicking the real world sadly end there. You’ll always start last on the grid, even when the race is only a couple of laps and you can’t sell any vehicles whatsoever.

    Paying customers of Gran Turismo 7 briefly had the opportunity to earn approximately 1.8 million credits per hours by grinding a particular race. 1.8 million credits is approximately £15 of purchased in game credits. With some vehicles costing as much as 20 million credits, it’s clear that the only way of obtaining them is by exploiting the paying customers time or personal finances.
    This already dire situation was made ADMITTEDLY worse by its creators when they slashed the prize money of the grind race by HALF. This means that the more expensive cars require either £150+ of additional purchases (per car) on top of the game you already paid £70 for.. or it means you have race on track for 20+ hours *winning every race, every time without a collision.*

    The rotten cherry on top of the traumatising GT7 experience is a reminder of how much focus was put into customer enjoyment as opposed to customer exploitation. The cherry; this single player career-mode oriented game can ONLY BE PLAYED ONLINE. They didn’t even code the game to facilitate an offline mode. Do you get it? They either A) didn’t notice the blunder because they were focused on the side of things that exploits the player, or B) didn’t change it because it didn’t effect their exploitation model. There’s been 3 updates to tend to their exploitation - none for the gaming experience.
    Has that sunk in? Don’t worry if it hasn’t sunk in yet. The next time the servers are down and you can’t access ‘your’ content, you’ll have days to contemplate why you need to be online to play a single player game. This will lead to the eventual awareness that every time the servers return from a weekend off, the all essential prize money will have been reduced once more and you feel slightly less like a human being.

    Gameplay; the cars handle great. They don’t crash and they jump like balloons in a gale. They all sound ‘tinny’. Realistic? No. I wish I could say otherwise but, No.

    Career options; you CANNOT buy new alternative engines; you can only win them after winning a prize ticket (the odds are so low that you can basically write off engine changes). Like seriously - forget it, you won’t be dropping an RB26 in an old S13 anytime soon. You can also spends millions upon millions on concept cars that aren’t eligible for any events which makes them *literally* useless. Literally.

    Oh yeah.. and the spokesman for GT7 doesn’t address any of its customers issues. Because they only want MMOONNEEYY

    Overall; this is not a game. It’s a carefully thought out business plan which was reviewed by review companies prior to GT7 revealing their intended paywall which is over 700% more expensive than their previous customer exploitation. The whole idea here is to get every customer to spend a minimum of $/£100+ with the initial purchase and in game purchases. While the creators refine and tweak their exploitation model, they’re aiming to make no less than 5 billion dollars out of us.. er.. I mean GT7

    I’m fascinated by what is happening. Fascinated by the younger audience who think micro transactions are an acceptable requirement on top of something they have already purchased. Is masochism. These people are the future.. is this how they think the world works? By misleading people into binding agreements that they can’t escape unless they abandon?.
    GT7 sums up life and community right now. It’s all about money and ignorance. Now i’m gonna go and play Dirt and appreciate the sentiment of its creators.

    The worst entry in the series yet.

    Let's start with the gameplay, The racing itself is obviously still fine, but let's be honest, there wasn't much to do here either. It's basically still the same as GT Sport.

    The worst entry in the series yet.

    Let's start with the gameplay, The racing itself is obviously still fine, but let's be honest, there wasn't much to do here either. It's basically still the same as GT Sport. So let's keep "they didn't mess that up" as a positive for the game.

    What is a lot worse is the progression. The money flows a lot slower than in any GT game and you are forced to visit the annoying café after every little step of progress you make in the game, to confirm it there, otherwise, nothing will be unlocked, no matter how much you win. It's just an endless drag and you get nowhere.

    Now, if you're like me and don't care much for the career and just want to do some races, why not use the arcade mode? Well, that's because it's gone. Not completely, but they made it pretty much useless. You can't just start the arcade mode (no, the music rally mode doesn't count, I want a real arcade mode, like, you know, GT always had?) and do some races. You have to go to the track in the world map and pick "arcade race" there. Of course, you only can pick tracks you already unlocked in career.

    So, instead of being able to chose every track and every car (almost IIRC, I think some cars were not available in the old arcade modes), you are limited to use what you unlocked in the career.

    Let's go back to the progression "why has it gotten so slow?" you might ask. The easy answer is: Microtransactions, Sony wants to sell you these, and if earning money in the game is too easy, no one will buy them. And it seems like, really no one bought them, because Sony released an update now. "Oh, did they lower the prices?" you might ask. Sorry, but no, the microtransactions - actually, "micro" isn't the right term any more, in case of GT7 it's macrotransactions - did not get cheaper, but to make players buy them, Sony reduced the money you can earn in the game with their latest update.

    The whole game is just a money making scheme for Sony. They don't care about the players, they care about the money. They even dropped the free update option, if you're upgrading from PS4 to PS5.

    So, if you're on PS5 and want to play the PS5 version there, it's not only the most expensive game in the series, but it also forces you pay even more money, if you don't want to spend an absolutely unreasonable time grinding for in game money.

    Oh, and I didn't even get into the always online stuff. If your internet isn't available, or Sony's servers are down (which is probably more likely, considering the quality of Sony online services), you can not play the game, except for the useless music rally mode. This is absolutely insane. This means, that the game will be a dead weight, once Sony decides to stop supporting it in a few years.

    At this moment, GT is dead.

You are unable to enjoy the game to be a car collector, you are only able to paying Sony in order to get enough money to try out these legacy dream cars. Do not buy the game unless you have deep pockets in the real world and you are bored from using your money on your actual car

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I paid $95 for the game and now it tells me, if I want to play whatever car I want then I have to spend another 3,000hrs to earn those goddamn cr, unless I pay more REAL MONEY.
    Honestly, I didn't enjoy the game since I realize that everyday when I open the game is to find the quickest way to earn money, nothing else.
    Thank you Polyphony for ruin one of my favorite game. Now I'm going to check Forza's download progress.
    BTW the raffle ticket SUCKS, 11/10 I earn the lowest prize. FKU

    They utterly massacred this game.
    - Microtransactions (MTX) implementaion is appalling.
    - The campaign was fun but the replay abillity is awful. The Cafe works just untill you complete it. - Then comes the (nerfed) grind for credits that get you absolutely nowhere. - To low payout for cars and turning that are way overpriced. - Allways online... What, why? I'll gladly change my

    I'll gladly change my review if Sony and/or Polyphony listen to the community and fix their game.
    $67 for 15 hours of gameplay.

    Other than the above its a **** amazing game.

    Worst game ever! After you spend 60 dollars, you can't even experience the full game, you have to spend weeks to get the vehicle you want. Want the car right away? Enjoy the in game purchase. Nice try Sony! If you really wanna it this way, just make it free like any other games on mobile device. DO!NOT!BUY!THIS!

    such a nice game. But i wil notl support online DRM, not now and not later.
    What will you do with your 10year old copy of GT7 after the server shutdown? You can throw it into the bin.
    I can still play my SNES, Genisis collection. What a time we live in.

    The worst GT game and this is coming from a GT loyalist. The economy is all screwed up and the grind is a slap on the face of fans who supported this franchise across generations. Polyphony and Sony both should be ashamed of itself for making this series an abomination.

    They’ve ruined a game that was okay, the graphics were better than gt sport but not by much. The always online is terrible. The reduced payouts from races is funny considering they didn’t want people grinding out the same races, yet that makes people do it more or give up on the game entirely. Most people who spend £80 on a game want to play it, not pay more money for in game currency toThey’ve ruined a game that was okay, the graphics were better than gt sport but not by much.

Most people who spend £80 on a game want to play it, not pay more money for in game currency to buy the cars they want/need to play the game. The cafe and progression is flawed, the fact most cars are ported from gt sport with hardly any actual new cars is appalling, the sound profile on many cars is just wrong, and the big one for me is the fact that they couldn’t even get split screen right, always online and you can’t use your own cars, you can’t adjust settings, and the hud is so bad. GT4,GT5 & GT6 did it better. Expand

    Reducing earnings in the lasted patch, making it a insane grind. It all seems to be done so they force us to use microtransaction.. What a scam after paying 80 euros for the game.

    The game is good, but you should not support this kind of practice..

    I started 40 years ago in 1982 on Sinclair ZX Spectrum with Chequered Flag. My last 25 years went around GT. So far this is the best race sim I ever played on. I do not care about online problems and micro-transactions. Thanks a lot Kaz!

    Amazing racing simulator that’s great for both newbies and veterans. It’s got a real nice atmosphere so you’re pretty much chilling in between the exciting races. The car customisation is also easy to use with lots of features. The graphic options are the same. It was tricky to figure out how to get my photos out of the game. Nowhere did it say that you could use the website!

    Micro transactions are ruining my favorite game. I don’t have time to grind what it takes to drive these awesome cars. Nerfing the payouts was a bad move. Sad. I also have to say, this is the best driving experience there is right now. Awesome game, just needs more of the rare cars to be accessible.

    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.
