    I have a playstation 5 and I played this game so I know what I'm talking about, I'm not a mere envious boxer who came here to give a low rating, this game is fantastic, a delight to play and enjoy the beautiful images of the scenarios, the cars are very good made the races well contested the physics is insanely good no wonder it's the best racing simulator there is, very good to be a real gamer.

    Avoid this "thing" at all cost.
    Poor graphics, poor realism and it just exists for generating even more money from micro transactions.
    And this is a flagship game... LMAO.

    The game is fantastic until you hit the gr3 cups. THIS IS NOT a race game but a shoot'em up. The leader goes free nad 14 bodyguards try to block you.
    Uninstalled all gT games, never to bother again. Such a huge HUGE dissapointment. Without these cups game is fine though.

    The game has improved over time, so I thought I should write a new review that correctly reflects the state of things now. The driving was always amazing in this game and the immersion with PSVR2 is on another level! Absolutely brilliant.

    It has its flaws and like always PD can't seem to fix public lobbies for some strange reason... Also, the game requiring an online connection for single-player content is outright outrageous. No FOV slider, or enough seat adjustability if you want to play with cockpit mode on a flat screen.

    Regardless of the above, the driving experience is addictive, and online racing just works!

    Nice looking game, especially in VR. Driving is quite fun when you eventually get there.

    However
    - I bought is on disk (never buy anything from PSN store, they are more expensive and you can't sell to your firends) still on the install I had to download for 2 hours to install
    - who in the heck decided that you are forced to watch some annoying intro video for 10 minutes before you can play? Really? WTF?
    - Basic UI/UX designer has been probably on vacation during the whole development. I've never seen so much menu diving and so horrible user interface on any game. Why do I have to go through multiple screens every time if I want to tune my car or even buy tuning parts when tuning? Where are all the shortcuts?
    - Why in the heck is the replay always the default option and I had to do multiple presses instead of just going forward? And no, I really don't want to look at replay of those license training sessions where I just accelerate and brake
    - There is always too much screens and all other crap than just driving, you will spent as much time on the menu diving as driving the cars.
    - and of course the worst part: - forced online so they can disable the game from you when they want to and also force you to make micropayments if you want to use this as a normal game.

    Avoid and wait for better games that actually concentrates on driving and not annoying users.

I played it in VR, really liked it, so purchased a 2nd hand racing rig/wheel which elevated it to a completely new level. NEVER have a enjoyed a real racing game like this. Progression seemed good at the start, unlocked a few of my fave cars ever early on ... then a few hours later I was persusing the Legends Garage and saw a beaut of a car ... with an eye-watering 20,000,000 credits price tag??!!! Hmm ... surely an oversight/typo/bug?? Ive noticed these 60 minute races for 1,000,000 credit prizes.... so i'd need to race 20hrs of these extended sessions to afford ONE car!!!??? I then innocently noticed the credits "top-up" option next to my total credits. Ah ... a convenient (and obviously affordable way) to purchase vehicles without grinding ..... HANG ON - SOMETHINGS SCREWY HERE!!! £15.99 FOR 2,000,000 CREDITS!!@@**???? So to buy that single 20,000,000 piece of CAR SOFTWARE "DLC" with real money would cost me £160 quid OR almost an entire day of racing non-stop for TWENTY HOURS!! I LOVED this game, I adored collecting all the cars, viewing all my dream cars in the VR showroom and it actually got me HOOKED on a racing sim for the first time in my life. Im now realising that this is nothing more than a sinister, cynical, anti-consumer, greedy, rip off .... tailored to perfection to get kids spending more money than the £70(!!!) the actual game costs in the first place!! The enjoyment I got from collecting the cars has dwindled as I realise I dont have the time or REAL money to acquire anywhere near the % of cars that would be satisfying.
    AND THOSE SCAMMING PRE-DETERMINED ROULLETTE TICKETS!!! You should have 1/5th of a chance of getting the best prize every time. The game seems to have already decided to ALWAYS give you THE WORST PRIZE. You cant even press a button to tell it when to slow down which would make it fairer. Instead, the game forces you to watch on helplessly and hopelessly as you get repeatedly shafted! Just got a 6 STAR (no less) ROULLETTE TICKET tonight .... my prize ... a shaft (the irony) rod for a crappy Mazda I dont own with a value of (wait for it) .... 4,500 CREDITS!!! Thats a 6 STAR PRIZE!!!??? Somethings gone awry with this nonsense. I will keep playing as I do enjoy the racing, which is probably BEST IN CLASS, even though I know the rewards will be scant and i'll never get the enjoyment I should have got from it. Ive given it 3 star and that seems very high and overly generous compared to the 2.2 average score. Never have I felt so elated AND disappointed by a game before. Shame on the greedy, cynical fat cats who designed this cash grab of a business model. Hope you choke on it!!!

    Gran Turismo 7 is a racing game developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game was released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on March 4, 2022.

    Gran Turismo 7 is the latest installment in the Gran Turismo racing game series. The game features a variety of cars, tracks, and racing modes, as well as a new photo mode and livery editor.

    The game has been praised for its visuals, sound design, and racing physics. However, it has also been criticized for its microtransactions and always-online requirement.

    Here are some of the pros and cons of Gran Turismo 7:

    Pros:

    Stunning visuals
    Immersive sound design
    Realistic racing physics
    Variety of cars and tracks
    New photo mode and livery editor
    Cons:

    Microtransactions
    Always-online requirement
    Grindy progression
    Overall, Gran Turismo 7 is a visually stunning and immersive racing game. However, its microtransactions and always-online requirement may be a turn-off for some players.

    Here are some specific thoughts on what I liked and disliked about the game:

    Liked:

    The visuals are simply stunning. The cars look amazing, the tracks are beautifully rendered, and the weather effects are breathtaking.
    The sound design is also top-notch. The engine sounds are realistic and the ambient sounds really help to immerse you in the experience.
    The racing physics are excellent. The cars handle realistically and the racing feels smooth and fluid.
    There is a wide variety of cars and tracks to choose from. There is something for everyone, from classic cars to modern supercars.
    The new photo mode is a lot of fun. It allows you to take stunning photos of your cars and tracks.
    The livery editor is also a lot of fun. It allows you to customize the look of your cars with a variety of decals and liveries.
    Disliked:

    The microtransactions are a bit too aggressive. It is possible to progress through the game without spending any money, but it will take a lot of time and effort.
    The always-online requirement is also a bit annoying. If you lose your internet connection, you will not be able to play the game.
    The progression can be a bit grindy. It can take a long time to earn enough credits to buy new cars and upgrades.
    Overall, I would give Gran Turismo 7 a 8/10. It is a visually stunning and immersive racing game, but its microtransactions and always-online requirement may be a turn-off for some players.

    GT7 is half of a solid sim racer with plenty of extra info for car collectors and a (mostly) great driving model.

The visual and audio presentation is a mixed bag--as per usual in Gran Turismo--but the guttural roars, growls, and banshee wails of those sweet exhaust notes still give me goosebumps.

    Behind the wheel, this game has few peers. Everything else feels like it was lifted straight from a 2000s-era title designed in a back-alley pachinko parlor by a jaded marketing executive.

    -the updates have been decent especially full VR but there are still many qualify life issues and lack of single player content. You can't create your own custom championship for example and many tracks are lacking events which makes many of the cars you already own useless.

This flagship franchise is a failure, and the 2.2 rating it has is well deserved.

    The fact that a movie is coming out in August 11th for the Gran Turismo franchise, and that this game has had no minor changes to its single player experience because of it, I don’t recommend this game if you had watched the movie.

Your better off buying a PS3 and Play Gran Turismo 5 and 6. The PS3 can also run the PS1 version of Gran Turismo which is far better than GT7. The first ever Gran Turismo that came out in 1997 is better than Gran Turismo 7 that came out in 2022.(Most Importantly buy a PS2 and play Gran Turismo 4. You expect the developers to pick up where they left off with 4 since it was way ahead of its time, some consider GT4 the best racing game ever) This gaming franchise is evolving backwards. It’s embarrassing that the developers or the creator doesn’t acknowledge the fans and take feedback. With myself having 700 hours in this game. All you can do after finishing the game is grind 3 damm tracks for the rest of this games life span just to collect some dumb cars that aren’t even drivable on any grind race track. The cars worth 20million is worth hours of valuable time, which people don’t have. Don’t do the same mistake of wasting 700 hours of your life for a game not even the developers care for. They worked so hard licensing cars and tracks just for them not to be used or enjoyed, every detail is wasted because your main focus is to get as much credits on the highest paying race track, the easiest being LeMan. They promised more endurance races for each track in the game but received none. The development team make the most easiest tasks the hardest thing ever. Expand

    I'm really disappointed with the game.

    First: Why impose a mandatory connection on us to play solo?

    It's dishonest and scandalous.

    Second: micro transactions and draws with tickets are rigged. We never have a good reward.

    Third: The lack of variety circuits in the city like Paris, London, New York... no circuit on the snow...

    Gt4, Gt5 and Gt6 are better and have more content.

    But GT7 managed to do something that no other game did: it made me so angry due to several issues. First, there's the connectivity problem. Even when playing in solo mode, it forces you to stay connected to the internet.
    They created various car categories, but there isn't a specific championship for them, which means you end up wasting money unnecessarily. And there's no option to create races of a specific class.
    When I say they only want professionals, try taking on the Nurbürgring challenge. I guarantee you'll end up driving over three hundred kilometers just to complete it. Want an even more challenging task? Try the one-hour mission at Lago Maggiore. But before you judge me and say I don't know how to play, disconnect your steering wheel and accessories and try to complete the races using just the controller. The game punishes you if you miss a braking point.
    I bitterly regret spending my money on Gran Turismo 7. I uninstalled it from my console and went back to Sport, although it has its flaws, they're not as glaring as those in GT7. I wouldn't recommend it!!!

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

    Gran Turismo 7 is a masterpiece in the racing game genre, delivering an immersive and authentic racing experience that pays homage to its roots while innovating for the future. From the first honk of the series’ iconic countdown klaxon, GT7 felt like a journey back to the original 1997 game, but with modern advancements that elevate the experience​1​.

    GT7 is the most welcoming game in the series, with dozens of hours of curated races and tasks designed to engage a new generation of players. The Gran Turismo Café, an eccentric but effective hub, provides a unique way of introducing new players to the game's mechanics. As you work your way through a series of "menu books," you'll learn about earning licenses, finding and buying cars, customizing your vehicle, and the thrill of racing​.

    GT7's in-game economy is one of its most controversial aspects. Car upgrade costs can be surprisingly high, and earning enough credits to purchase new cars can be a time-consuming process. Sony's decision to introduce a cash-for-credits microtransaction system after the game's release drew criticism, as it led to expensive shortcuts to obtain rare and desirable cars​1​.

    Despite this, the game offers a decent collection of reward cars as you progress, and the thrill of winning a new vehicle never gets old​1​. The game also makes efforts to contextualize its car collection through short videos explaining the cars' significance in automotive culture, which adds a nice touch for car enthusiasts​.

    The car roster in GT7, while not as expansive as some might expect, still offers a solid variety of vehicles to choose from. Although the collection is somewhat dated and doesn't feature many recent high-profile cars, the selection is still rich and diverse​1​.

    In summary, Gran Turismo 7 is an outstanding game that offers an unparalleled racing experience. Despite its controversial in-game economy, the game's stunning visuals, immersive gameplay, and rich car selection make it a must-play for any racing fan. 10/10.

    An excellent game brought down by greed and deliberately bad choices.

    I have loved Gran Turismo since the PS1 days and I think this is another great entry in the series. Gran Turismo has always been more than just a racing game. It is car porn. Gran Turismo 7 continues this tradition. The cars look stunning and are highly detailed inside and out. There is a great line up of diverse cars ready to collect, modify, customise, tune, race, learn about and love. There is an in depth photo mode with its own community to share, like and discuss photos and the same for livery designs too. There is so much here to learn about cars and the history of car makers and it also teaches the broader historical context as well. It is a dream for anyone that likes cars and is easy to get into whether you’re a veteran or newcomer.

    Presentation wise Gran Turismo 7 is outstanding. As I already said cars are super detailed and beautiful. Tracks look great and have plenty of detail too. I like the style and menus. Weather looks good, skies look good, and tire smoke looks good. The game runs well and loads quickly. Sound design is impressive and the music selection is cool. There isn’t much to complain about here. Being a cross gen game I don’t think they pushed everything as far as they could with the PS5, obviously car damage is an area that still needs work but overall though I’m really happy with presentation and performance.

    Gameplay is fun. Cars feel great and they did well making use of the PS5 controller features. Car handling and physics are what you expect. I know when a car is on the limit of grip and when it’s gone beyond that limit. There is a good sense of speed, weight and momentum. I can feel the road and the unevenness of the surface. Weather and puddles of water are done well and greatly impact driving. Tuning is rewarding. The game as a whole is mostly very rewarding, challenging and fun. I enjoyed slowly getting better and improving my times, making my way through the challenges, earning licenses, learning in the circuit experiences and testing myself against others online. There is lots of content here and they have been continuing to add to it. There are some weaknesses like the main campaign, café mode, being underdeveloped and underwhelming and I didn’t get music rally at all.

    Now unfortunately I need to discuss this games big issues and a lot of people will already know what’s coming. Why the hell do I always need to be online for single player? I guess my disc will be useless in the future when it’s all taken down and I’m just screwed anytime I don’t have internet or there is maintenance. Then there is the fact that this game becomes a horrible grind to get and upgrade the more expensive cars. Things start off okay with regular currency and car rewards but once you get further along and everything gets more expensive it just ruins the game. I put around 80 hours in and I would still be playing if not for this bulls**t. Cars are too expensive and rewards are too low so your progress grinds to a halt. This was done on purpose to push people into spending real money on the very over priced in game currency and Gran Turismo 7 is a full priced Sony game too. Why would you do this to your own creation? Imagine making something excellent and then deliberately ruining it. Why would you do this to your brand? Is it really worth it? If you need to make more money off Gran Turismo 7 then find another way, I would rather pay a little extra up front then put up with this crap. Too the people that made these decisions f**k you. To every person that buys this games currency, f**k you for supporting it, get away from videogames you are ruining it for the rest of us.

    Gran Turismo 7 is really enjoyable and well made even with the horrible issues I still got plenty of time out of it. I just wish I could still be playing it and continuing to build my car collection. I would have rated it way higher if not for this and it could have been one of the absolute best PS5 games. I recommend getting Gran Turismo 7 if you’re into cars just don’t buy those expensive micro transactions and know that at some point it will become an awful grind.

    2) The ridiculous micro transactions. I'm not even sure calling it a 'micro' transaction is fair given how expensive the DLC cars end up with some costing $40 or more for a single car DLC.

    Sony and Polyphony Digital were also extremely deceptive when it came to reviews as the game we're playing now is not the same as what reviewers were playing. The changes around progression and micro transactions were only introduced AFTER reviews were published and since you can only play the game online, you're forced to take those updates.

    Gran Turismo is supposed to be a franchise that allows you to drive the high-end cars you'll never get to own in real life. No one bought this game so they can experience what it's like not to be able to afford the cars they want.

    For anyone considering this title, I would highly recommend getting GT sport instead which can be found for a significantly cheaper price. It also has reasonably priced DLC vehicles should you wish to avoid grinding for credits. Graphically, I don't feel GT7 looks that much better and the ray tracing mode which offers the biggest visual improvement only works during cutscenes. The campaign is good, but not at the expense of being able to own the vehicles you want to drive.

    At its core, there is a good game there and if it was free-to-play, I would understand why the game is the way it is. But as a full price $70 next-gen title from Sony, there is no excuse for the amount of grinding required to unlock vehicles or the ridiculous amount of real-world money you have to spend when you want to avoid that.

    There is also no excuse for the game not being fully playable offline. As someone who strongly believes in game preservation, I put a lot of importance on what is shipped on the disc. Sony needs to patch the game to be fully playable offline, but even if they do, long term the game is doomed into non-existence.

    I would strongly advise against buying this game until Sony resolves both of these issues.

    Understand this game was HATED at launch. I got bored of Forza Motorsport 7 (this games main rival) and decided to buy a ps5 and give this a shot. The game was on sale for $40 when I got it.

    Pro's:
    -Looks better than your first born child
    -Audio design has vastly improved from its predecessors
    -Great customization (nearly all cars have wide body kits, splitters, spoilers, aftermarket wheels, etc)
    -Being able to adjust the diff, brake balance, fuel mixture (lean/rich), TCS, on the fly is great
    -Gran Turismo collaborated with car manufactures to create concept cars and they are all stunning
    -Balance of Performance (BoP) racing is great- allows for a diverse grid where anyone can win in any car
    -Menu music is terrific I find myself sitting in the dealership listening to music browsing cars
    -On ps5 load times are non-existent, load any car any track immediately
    -Being able to create private lobbies and posting them on public servers is a great way of having fun community driven events.
    -Love the strategy in endurance racing being able to swap between Racing Softs vs Racing Hards or adjusting to active weather and putting on Rain tires or Intermediates.
    -Weather and Time can be adjusted to any setting you like
    -Diversity in tracks. There are a few rally stages, road courses, street/city circuits, F1 level race tracks, fantasy tracks
    -Physics and Tire models seem very realistic.
    -Diverse selection of vehicles. GT3, GT4, Japanese GT500, Group B, 90's-20's Prototypes, 60's Le Mans racers, and of course many production vehicles ranging from compacts to hypercars
    -Photo mode is on steroids and is damn near impossible to tell the difference between a videogame and real life
    -Used car dealer cycles cars every day making it fun to log in everyday and see whats available.
    -Cars you collect can be sold and their value supposedly shifts everyday and you can "invest" in cars and sell them later for more credits.
    -Doing license tests, mission mode, menu books, and buying cars gives you the opportunities to win prize cars for free or get extra credits.
    -There is an extensive library of user created liveries to browse through and you can apply them to your cars.
    -Doing the "Circuit Experience" on the race tracks allows you to learn every track and drive on it well while also giving you a large amount of credits for beating a certain time.
    -Online racing becomes better through Driver Rating and Safety Rating, encouraging others to be quick while also putting you in races with people around your skill level
    -Online time trials give hefty payouts for performing well

    Cons:
    -The game still sells for 70$ online, and to me thats too much money
    -Menu Books are controversial. For me it wasn't an issue. But, if you aren't a huge car enthusiast or rather you only care about maybe 1-5 cars and you would like to race only those. You will HATE the menu books as they are the entire way of progressing through this game and gaining credits and cars.
    -Online and other modes are locked until you progress far enough in the Menu Books
    -You do not have access to upgrade your car fully until you reach a certain collector level, meaning you will need to grind the menu books to unlock better performance parts.
    -You will have to do license tests which may be frustrating for some who aren't as skilled in order to progress.
    -Later Mission Mode races and the later License Tests have the most sadist requirements for gold medals and I'm pretty damn good at this game but mission mode will humble you if you are trying to go for a 100% completion for the prize cars.
    -Everything is expensive and racing online or in your own custom lobbies gives very little money. The best way to earn money is through time trials and circuit experience, both are time based single player races. Some may rather just play with friends
    -There is no real easy way to share car "builds" and "tunes" meaning if someone builds a car incorrectly they have no real comparison as to what others have done that worked.
    -Online competitive racing cycles races every 15-30 mins meaning you could be sitting around a while before the next race.
    -In user created online lobbies I noticed more lag than in Gran Turismo's official competitive lobbies. Nothing game breaking and not all the time, but it could sometimes hinder the immersion or ruin the race if I collided with them unwillingly.
    -If you buy and apply weight reduction mods or buy and apply certain engine parts it will cost you a fortune to bring the car back to stock. The idea is some performance parts are irreversable and you have to pay to bring them back. Stupid.
    -The handling model on controller, although do-able does not hold up against rivals like forza. The level of grip you feel is disconnected.
    -Splitscreen local multiplayer doesn't let you use your own garage

    Graphics are pretty decent, I would say an 8/10. Game play is decent and controls are nice and would rate 4/10.

    Overall, 1/10 due to the greedy money grab that ruins the reward system in gameplay when earning award tickets. Days in and every single tickets rewards the lowest possible award. Seeing the direction this game has taken, Gran Turismo 7 should have just been named Gran Turismo Omega because it will be the last one I play.

    Visually stunning, good tuning upgrades, excellent racing model with very good handling. Probably second only to Assetto in terms of satisfying sim handling. Not as realistic, but still very enjoyable. Good range of cars.

    That bit there ^^^ that's why this has three points out of ten rather than zero. That's it.

    Now....on to the negatives. The many, many...MANY negatives. There are little niggles and huge, outrageous flaws and everything in between. But I'll start with the biggest issue:

    - Microtransactions. MTX for short. I have never, ever seen a AAA game implement MTX this disgustingly. It's jawdroppingly shameless. For those of you who don't know what GT7 consists of - well you have to unlock the cars before you can drive them. That means buying them using in=game credits. This is normal in modern AAA racing games. You can also spend real money, in the real world, to buy in-game credits. This is less normal in AAA racing games but it happens, and it's just one of those horrible things we all have to put up with because GTAV started the trend and also because there is no god.
    So GT7 has these microtransactions. How bad can it really be though? Surely if other games have them it's okay for GT7 to have them too? You naive fool, let me explain just how bad it is in this game: the legendary cars, the really expensive ones, cost 20m credits. How much is that in MTX? Well, about £150. £150 for a single car. In a carlist that numbers in the 400s.

    So how do you earn money in-game? Grinding. How long would it take to earn the 20m credits for that legendary car? FOURTEEN HOURS. Fourteen hours grinding the most profitable race, a mindnumbing hour long race.

    So you either spend fourteen hours grinding for that car or you spend £150 of your own real money. Either way...you are a f***ing idiot.

    But there's the roulette system right? The system where you occasionally get to spin a roulette wheel which has some tasty prizes on it. That sounds like a decent way to mitigate the grind and the MTX...right? Wrong, as wrong as you can be. The roulette system is so laughably foul, so ridiculously, comically evil, it's like it's laughing at you when you spin it. Because it's rigged. It's openly rigged. This isn't some suspicion that paranoid GT users have - it's been demonstrated. It's rigged to fall on the smallest reward, and it does so deterministically and with obvious contempt for the playerbase.
    To me the wheel sums up GT7's economy. They didn't even bother to hide the fact that it's skewed. Polyphony don't seem to care that you know.

    All of that makes the game a miserable experience for a newcomer like myself. I want to get into it...but it hates me and wants me to go away.

    Of course, that one issue of the game's economy is more than enough to put any sane person off the game for good. But Polyphony wanted to make sure, so they added in hundreds of little ones too:

    - visual customisation is absolute bumsauce.
    - the clutch implementation in the game is bewildering.
    - the UI and general menu system were designed by a madman.
    - the chase camera is locked to the car in a way that turns off anyone who's come from playing any other racing game made this century. It would take a modder about six or seven minutes to fix this. Polyphony's take is 'f*** you, we're unique'. Yes, but not in a good way.
    - the career mode, single player in other words, is truly rubbish.

    Etc. I'm going to stop now otherwise I'll still be here tomorrow. This game is utterly disgraceful, and I cannot believe that the short term benefit of raking in money from halfwitted MTX whales could possibly outweight the long-term disaster of turning so many people off this franchise completely. Add to that the general slow, laborious, grudging way that the developers respond to any complaints, the stubbornness with which they approach a videogaming genre that has changed radically since GT first arrived on the scene, and you have a recipe for alienating huge numbers of paying customers, very quickly, forever. Genius!

    There's a great driving model underneath it, but really...who cares? A scorpion is a brilliantly evolved creature, but it's still a c***. I don't usually approve of review bombing, but in this case it's completely justified.

    People who review bombed this game knew nothing about the nature of the series. All the serious issues of the game have been solved and been worked on, so the game is pretty good

    I am so tired of trying to like this game and even more tired of how pretentious it is. No fun to be had here. Small drip fed content with every update. Collect cars you will never use, drive them against boring bot A.I. that drive like they are in a funeral procession. Nothing but catch up sprint races where you always start in last place. But you can take pretty photos. This is not theI am so tired of trying to like this game and even more tired of how pretentious it is. No fun to be had here. Small drip fed content with every update.

    Gran Turismo 4 was the pinnacle of what GT could be. It’s been downhill but overall enjoyable up until maybe 6 or sport. Now it’s terrible. Not nearly enough races and you can’t use any of the special cars in ANY races.

    Un juego de 70 dólares debería poderse jugar aunque no este conectado a internet. Y un asco las microtransacciones.

    You are buying a game that you will complete it and you will never have the chance to drive or try the 95% of the available cars. What else do you want?

    Very nice game visually. Controls are on point. But don't buy this game if you want super cars (800+PP) because there are no world circuits for super car races. The current world circuit races are ALL limited in one way or another, preventing you from using your favorite car 99% of the time. Very cheap credit rewards that clearly points toward micro transactions. I wouldn't buy again.Very nice game visually. Controls are on point.

    The game still lacks content despite add a whopping THREE Group 1 races at the end of May...
    Online play is kind of rotten with people purposely knocking you off the track, which results in you getting a penalty. Or people ramming you at 300 km/h when you're doing a hairpin turn.

    Anyways, I bought the PS5 JUST for GT7 and it did not meet my expectations so I sold my PS5.
    Edit: it's been a few days since my review. I've played daily and accumulated ~5000000 credits grinding two races. The Trial Mountain championship, and the American Championship. I played WoW for 17 years... I'm ok with a bit of grinding... However, I'm now faced without knowing what car to buy. All the ones I want are out of any single player car requirements for races (all higher than 800PP). This kind of blows.

    Muito rage com um jogo que é uma homenagem ao automobilismo.
    Tem sim um pouco de grind, mas nada que estrague a experiencia.
    Gráficos incriveis, fisica bem aplicada, possibilidade de tunning, partidas online com regras e punicoes claras. AI avançada, nao parecendo um maluco qualquer.
    E como sempre, ausente pet DI

    after a rough launch week with offline servers and lack of content, gt7 grown to be the game it was supposed to be at launch. it wasnt rushed by any means, but just not in touch with the community and the current times, gt6 came out 2013 and gt7 seems to be stuck at this time and age. now the game is in a much better state, but the lack of content if you dont race online still hits

    Impossible to beat even campaign at easy level for casual gamer = instant 1 for me (call it normal or hard and thats ok)...
    Microtransations in full price game = 1...
    Played on PSVR2, at first it was awesome game, but later its just worthless.

    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.
