    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.

    This is simple best racing game on consoles. Btw anybody giving 0/10 or talking about microtransactions know nothing, game has no issue with economy after April patch as you can earn plenty money in circuit experience, human comedy missions, time trials every 2 weeks etc. (btw I platinumed this game with 0 grinding)

    Wonderful game,but not perfect.Online mode does not cost money, you can only use the designated race group vehicles, even if there is no need to worry, you can rent a car with the same performance as the vehicle you bought for free. This game is suitable for players who like racing, like to grind laps, you need to be patient to play.

    The multiplayer is leagues above what I experienced with Forza 7, due to the penalty and ranking systems in place. It is just enjoyable!

    One point less for the integration of microtransactions and the tickets, which gave me always the lowest price so far, but until now I have no issues whatsoever with just ignoring microtransactions. The game works just fine without considering these.    … Expand

As the game stands now, though, I think it is an amazing game for race/driving simulations. I ended up completing the game 100% and obtaining the platinum trophy because it was so much fun. The driving is smooth, the races are generally just challenging enough to make them exciting (unless you use and develop an OP car), and the graphics are amazing. The license tests are super challenging but rewarding if you are willing to put in the time. The one thing that set me off a bit from the game was the online mode which has an imperfect penalty system which can easily cost a spot or 2. In addition to that, the player base (especially at the lower levels where I am) can be pretty toxic, which is not necessarily the games fault. Overall great game, now that the microtransactions are better.… Expand

I originally rated a 2 because of the glaring problems, and pushing of microtransactions.

    The downtime doesn't help matters, which at the current time of writing is over 24 hours though there may be extenuating circumstances for this, there has been almost no communication on why everything is dead now, it has bought up a glaring issue, if Polyphony Digital has server issues this extensive, it probably means all their servers are in one place.

    Secondarily, and more importantly, they have created a car collecting game, but it is very difficult to get actual credits in the game to buy the cars. They nerfed the one semi decent way to get some. Don't worry, you can just buy them on the PS store... assuming you want to spend a couple of grand to collect all the cars

    Even the roulette, which itself is just a lootbox, nearly always gives you the most pitiful reward on offer, of which often one of those is a time limited invitation to spend 1-5 million credits, which won't be helped by the roulette giving you 5000/10000 credits about 90% of the time. Used cars in the game have prices through the stratosphere. You cannot sell cars you own, and you do occasionally get duplicates also, so you cannot even recycle credits that way.

    The menu books also run out very early, and you don't need any license over A, so it feels like the game is massively unfinished.

    The mechanics and racing is actually really fun though, even though the AI are as dumb as a bag of hammers on a special bus, but as it stands I can't actually play the single player because apparently since after GT Sport they decided it would make sense to completely make the single player unavailable offline.

    It's a really fun game, when it works, and you're not actually invested in collecting the cars, but they are losing so many points for this £70 game and nickle and diming the players for credits so we want to spend on microtransactions.    … Expand

And for me, with my terrible skillz, quite challenging. The addition of the menu books provides a nice kind of story to follow along and progress slowly but surely. When you've done that, you have some nice cars, a bit of money and are ready to collect more cars. If you spend time getting to know the tracks (since update 1.11 also making you money), you will get better and better. Which is good, because online racing is also nice to do.

    All in all, this is a great racing game. It has that old GT feeling, at least for me, some of the old tracks are back and look better than ever. The cars handle great (for the most part) or you can tune them to make them at least drivable.

    License tests and missions are challenging and fun for the most part.
    Multiplayer is fun, but tuning exploits needs fixing.
    Looks great.
    It's just a joy to play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start off, I'm a big fan of the Gran Turismo series, so I was hyped to see this game release on the PS4 (I don't have the PS5). There's been 8 years between GT6 and GT7, and 4 years between GT Sport and GT7, so Polyphony had to show something for that time.

    Pros: The driving physics are completely revamped, and feel far more realistic than GT Sport. No traction control on cars are bearable, curbs are a concern, wet weather driving is wonderful, etc. It definitely brings the Gran Turismo series closer towards proper sim racing games like Asseto Corsa. Progression is gradual, and you aren't handed a supercar from the start (unlike Forza). The used car dealership is a really nice addition, as well as the legendary dealership (with real-life pricing from Hagerty, which I'll get into later). There are some license tests that carry difficulty (e.g. final tests from License A and up, especially the final license of the game), the AI has been dramatically improved and are quite competitive at times. Not all the tracks have wet weather, but for the ones that does, it is wonderfully done. You'll have to worry about aquaplaning, tire grip, etc. The realism was increased a lot for GT7.

    Cons: The car list can be a bit sparce. Besides the 324 cars coming from GT Sport, only about 100 or so more were added to GT7. It's a far cry from even the 700 or so that were in GT4, which feels a bit of a letdown, but at the same time these cars are given far more quality than ever. Also, with the car list, car dealerships (including the Legendary one) needs to rotate far more often. There's too many cars locked away with a slow moving dealership. Then there's three big cons:

    Microtransactions and online-only. The microtransactions are overblown in the media, they aren't that bad. You can still easily grind a lot of money to buy new, fancy cars. Going back to Hagerty-pricing, while I find it interesting, I can understand some finding it frustrating. It just means you'll need to grind more for cars, which I'm not entirely angry for since grinding for unique cars has been a thing even back in Gran Turismo 4 days. None of these really-expensive cars are necessary to be competitive, they're more or less trophies for your hard work.
    What scares me more is online-only. Because Polyphony has a habit of shutting off servers for old Gran Turismo games, I'm afraid that either Polyphony would need to maintain servers no matter what, or GT7 would be essentially gone in the dust once its lifecycle is gone.

    I know menus are practically career mode for GT7, but there needs to be more in the game once all the menus are complete. What happened to the A-Spec/B-Spec championships that were around for GT5/GT6? The missions are pretty nice, but besides that, there's a lack of content beyond the menus. I hope future updates rectify this.

    Overall it is an excellent game. There are notable flaws, but that's just expected with new games nowadays. Game-as-a-service business model has taken over and GT7 needs to adapt to survive. It needs microtransactions because $60/$70 for a AAA game is becoming unfeasible, but raising these prices would cause hell with consumers, which is why game prices has been so stagnant since the 90s. And within the changing market, it's a way for not only Polyphony to make more profit but to survive in a cutthroat market space.    … Expand

    The micro-transactions are completely optional as everything is earnable with time and effort in the game. The online requirement isn't that burdensome and server/upgrade outages like the game experienced will most likely be very rare. With Polyphony Digital setting some expectations for post-launch support with all of the additions to the car lists and tracks in GT Sport, this racing game is well worth the $60 price of entry.    … Expand

    I was looking forward to this since skipping the PS4 era (last played was GT5) and I'm now extremely disappointed with GT7 on PS5. Not much has changed aside from the menu, brand storytelling and loading times. I cannot believe Sony/Playstation is allowing such a garbage "next-gen" experience. Main complaints:
    - Barely any "modern" vehicles, most brand cars are from '12 to '14, I can only assume PD will put '20 ~ '22 cars as paid DLC
    - Mandatory online connection is annoying and has become utterly frustrating with the frequency/length of maintenance windows
    - In-game awards and currency is broken and getting worse
    - Car damage visuals are still as boring as ever, no damage meter to adjust
    - Environment/weather effects are still extremely boring, not much change from the previous generation (GT5 on PS3)
    - AI players drive pretty dirty, they'll take you out for no reason

    Pros
    -Game looks amazing on the PS5
    - Controls are very good and responsive, and supports different control layouts and drive wheels
    - Did not run into any glitches/bugs
    - Very accessible in terms of having easy modes and assist like automatic breaking
    - Hardly any load times on the PS5
    - This is a surprising aspect, but I actually like the photo/camera mode, I generally find these modes as more gimmicks are just whatever who cares, but it's actually well designed where you can take well timed photos of your races. Like a good example would be crossing the finish line.
    - Music is great, love the classical music, and the intro was smartly done
    - Always liked having to unlock cars, instead of having most readily available

    Cons
    - A few too many clicks/menu screens to get to the next race, although not a huge deal considering the PS5 has basically no load times, but this could of been condensed/designed better.
    -loooool we gonna really use stock photos for characters with no voice acting. come on now I mean I get the idea but they could of designed like actual characters that you talk to for the story mode.
    - very small complaint but very odd choice that you cannot skip the intro of the game which is several minutes long, and you have to go into settings to make it where it doesn't play each time you load the game.

    Overall, it's what I expecting, and that's what I wanted. Ignore the negative reviews as those are just stupid or they have never played a GT game before and have unrealistic ideas of what this game was supposed to be.    … Expand

    GT7 is a an amazing racing game with a terrible economy. The actual gameplay is very fun. Love driving cars on the track in this game. What is not fun is how incredibly bad race payouts for online and custom events are. Race for 25 minutes with tough AI starting at the back of a 20 car grid? 25k base credit reward for 1st. This was especially egregious with the pre-1.07 payouts where comparatively 3.5 minutes at Fisherman's Ranch would get you a 65k base credit reward for 1st. But instead of making custom races more in line with the races that did pay, they have decided to nerf the payouts for those races.

    These decisions seem designed to push microtransactions as hard as possible through FOMO with the limited time purchase invitations and used/legendary car dealerships. It was crappy before to feel like you are wasting your time playing anything other than Fisherman's Ranch to be able to afford these cars in a reasonable amount of time, but at least the earn-able hourly credits were decent. To cut these payouts in half and charge 20 real world earth dollars for 2m credits is a slap in the face to all fans.

    To be clear, microtransactions that are purely cosmetic are one thing. Even Free to Play games have gotten this right. Rocket League/Fortnite prints $$ for Epic, but I never feel that I am not competitive because I didn't spend any money on the game. But a full price AAA game pushing microtransactions for credits, which you need to be able to buy and tune cars that are competitive online, is simply not right. Please fix this game PD. I want to love it, but this microtransactions push is a shady business practice for a full price game.    … Expand

    //The game itself is great. But that doesn't help when the servers are down 24 hours+ and there is no communication when they will be up again.
    Also, the singleplayer needs always on connection to work, as does almost all the content. Your cars are only accessible online, even if bought with microtransactions (real money), they are not available if the servers are down or your internet is out.
    With a new patch, it is harder to earn cash, so you are being pushed towards microtransactions for the expenive cars (which apparently got more expensive)
    As of right now I can not recommend this, because it is completely unplayable. You will see an error message and the loading screen, that's it for me.
    To PD: Make the singleplayer and the garage etc. available and playable offline and stop the aggressive push to microtransactions. And fix the servers or at least tell the community whats up and for how long.
    Then I will give a better review!

    GT7 is a fun game, the driving physics are realistic enough to be a challenge when driving at the limits while still maintaining the series unique flavour.

    After a pretty poor start with some rather badly handled maintenance, it appears that polyphony have listened to their player base, which is something I always appreciate, and are making some changes and additions which alleviate the concerns I had in my original 'review', therefore I have returned to ammend my score.
    The point about the always online stuff is still true though, blegh.

    Always online single-player.
    ZERO communication during maintenance that has laster over 24 hours (at time of writing) more than scheduled.
    Terrible payouts to pressure players into spending real money (over 330 races/20 hours griding for a single high-cost car?!) which they made worse after the initial sales window, which just feels like a scummy move to make the most of early sales/critic reviews, then pull the rug out from under people.
    The game was fun, you just can't play it and when you can you can't play with any of those cars you dreamed of owning unless you want to spend real money or have a ridiculous amount of gaming time.
    Poor showing from a franchise that I previously had a lot of respect for.    … Expand

It's been review bombed by Reddit users following maintenance on the server. Unfortunately an issue came up when the game was being updated which resulted in 2 hour maintenance turning into about 36 hours. Not ideal, but the alternative was the possibility of save data being corrupted if the more serious issue was not resolved, and I know what people would have complained about more.

    The other complaint is 'microtransactions'. Please be careful in trusting what you read in the negative reviews. I've seen comparisons to an FTP mobile game. This is nonsense. There is the option to add credits via microtransactions, but they there is absolutely no requirement to put in your real money to progress.

    There is a significant amount of entitlement from users review bombing the game, people want the rarest most expensive cars in their garage within days of buying the game. If you do too, then this might not be the game for you. You have to put in time to buy the best cars. As it should be in my opinion.

    People who remember playing early Gran Turismo's will know. You used to have to grind an oval track over and over again to tune your cap car, only to buy another crap car and start the grind all over again. In comparison, on GT7, I've got 750,000 credits in the bank, been gifted 40+ cars in my garage I haven't even used yet, and you get gifted cars to use in the next stage of each campaign so you don't even have to buy a new car when you move car class. I haven't had to buy a new car yet to progress. Not a single one. So if you see people saying "I've played all games in the series and this is predatory etc etc"... Ignore it, they're lying.

    Now onto the game. It's great, the racing is great, the feeling of the cars is great, the game looks absolutely brilliant. The only racing game where I can happily sit and watch the replays of every race I do. It has great tuning options and some nice modding options. Livery creation and sharing is fantastic, and the showcase photo mode is really nice to experiment with.

    If you like racing games and have played and enjoyed previous GT games then it'd worth getting. If you like racing games but want every car unlocked within the first fortnight of owning the game with minimal effort, it's probably not for you.

    My own complaint would be the length of the campaign currently. You can smash through it, and then just carry on with races that aren't part of the campaign or create your own races. If you like racing, like I do, that's fine, it's extremely enjoyable to play. If you need a campaign path for the game to stay relevant to you then again, this may not be for you. For now. I say for now, because they will be adding more content in the future. Maybe give it a year and revisit the game then to see what new content has been added to the game. Summary, ignore the ridiculously low user scores, they do not paint any sort of realistic picture about the game. If you just like racing and don't mind working towards earning new cars, then you'll love this game.

    If you want everything from the start and only want to race a few races to be able to afford the most expensive car in the game, then this won't be for you.    … Expand

    30 hours of downtime, some of us have very tight schedule. This is not professionalism and no compensation given at all. On top of that they nerf the credits acquisition from the most profitable races so we are pushed to buy their microtransaction **** I will give 5 stars if they make it offline friendly and if they remove microtransactions.

    Updated post 1.11 update. Polyphony have listened and the game is now firmly on the right "track". The economy is fixed and events are being added. Still sucks about the online only but I'm prepared to say now that the game is much more like what I expected on day one. The driving is superb, and I'm looking forward to seeing what other content is in store.

    Day one review: Literally a    Updated post 1.11 update. Polyphony have listened and the game is now firmly on the right "track". The economy is fixed and events are being added. Still sucks about the online only but I'm prepared to say now that the game is much more like what I expected on day one. The driving is superb, and I'm looking forward to seeing what other content is in store.

    Day one review:
    Literally a zero for being unplayable for 36 hours. This game is where we've arrived at after years of complaining and warning about "always-online" requirements. You spend $80 or however much, trusting Polyphony's reputation, and you literally can't play it.

    Not to mention the absolutely predatory economy model. $120 for a Jaguar XJ13, or grind for 20 hours? Really, those are my options? Why model the cars if only 0.001% of players can experience them? Isn't this supposed to be a fantasy where we get to drive those cars? Why are race payouts so low, especially when you get nickel and dimed on tuning so often?

    I am so disappointed in this product it beggars belief. This was one of the reasons I invested in a PS5. And to hear Kazunori Yamauchi not listen to the community, to double down on these decisions, asking players to "take a long term view" is just insulting.

    Underneath all this, the game is, to be fair, very good. The driving experience is up to par with the GT standard. I just can't get past the way this is all being presented, it's disgusting.    … Expand

However, the game does have a great selection of cars. Micro transactions? Micro transactions are irrelevant in this game. Its so easy to win cars and money in this game. Within the first week of playing this, I earned about 25 cars and approximately 650 thousand credits in the first 3 days of playing. Do not worry about micro transactions. Its irrelevant in this game in my opinion. People always talk about how GT7 looks and it looks great. But im going to talk about how it sounds. And it sounds amazing. Cars sound like their real life versions. I love how you can hear the supercharger whine on cars with superchargers. I love how you can hear the turbos on cars with turbos.

    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.
