    GT7’s career mode is infuriatingly short and linear. You are immediately shown the Café on the map which is where you complete the main career races in the game. You finish these in a completely linear format, winning cars along the way that you will use for following races. In previous titles, you had to make choices, you had freedom. You were only limited by drivetrain or your car, andGT7’s career mode is infuriatingly short and linear. You are immediately shown the Café on the map which is where you complete the main career races in the game. You finish these in a completely linear format, winning cars along the way that you will use for following races. In previous titles, you had to make choices, you had freedom. You were only limited by drivetrain or your car, and your skill.

    All of the thinking and choice has been taken out. Not only that, its painfully obvious the lineup café menu races were not finished, intentionally or not. It seems like either PD ran out of time to include races that utilize the I-B, I-A, or S licenses... or more likely they were stripped from the game to be graciously given (or sold?) at a later date. Once you get through the café menu and you beat the final championship (which only requires an A license), the credits roll... and that’s it…

    One of the “features” of GT7 is closer to real life pricing of most cars in the game. The main take away which leads into the next point is that cars, upgrades, everything costs more money relative to previous entries. For example, an R34 GTR is 400k+ credits.

    The design philosophy of this game is heavily influenced to push players towards micro transactions. There is no way to make a decent amount of money per time spent in any race to save up for the more expensive cars. Players had narrowed down 2 races which had the best payout per time spent. Keep in mind, these were the best methods of griding credits, not that they “good” to begin with. At best you were averaging about 96k credits/3.5 minutes = hours of griding a single race to afford one car. As of patch 1.07 they nerfed the payout of those races. Keep in mind, while other gaming “journalists” are towing the line for Sony/PD claiming this patch is fixing a “bug” that players were “exploiting” to farm “lots of credits quickly”, this was simply the most efficient method at the time, even then it was not very efficient. Especially in relation to how expensive cars and parts are in this game.

    There is artificial scarcity built in to the dealers where certain cars need a valid “invitation” to purchase which is only valid for a limited time. This mechanic is meant to induce a fear of missing out (FOMO), and to encourage the player to purchase credits with real world money. Also, the legendary car dealership features a selection of cars that are only available for a limited amount of time before they are swapped out, again inducing FOMO.

    In previous entries in the GT series, players could sell cars they did not need or want in order to buy something they wanted. Not the case in GT7, you can only permanently remove cars from your garage.

    Another hated mechanic has found its way into GT7, the roulette wheel. You gain spins through café menu races, and by completion of daily mileage driven. It is well documented by the GT community that the wheels spins are heavily weighted to nearly always payout the worst prize shown. This mechanic presents itself like it provides an equal chance of giving any 1 of the 5 items. However, nearly always it will happen to land on the smallest sum of credits versus a new car, or a coveted “invitation” to purchase a car at a dealer for a limited time, or even engine swaps.

    Engine swaps can only be won through roulette spins. You cannot buy them through the tuning shop like all the other car upgrades.

    These mechanics in combination are meant to push the player to purchase microtransactions. For example, if one were to surrender to the microtransaction demons and wanted to buy a 3.5 million credit Ferrari FXX after they got extremely lucky and won an invitation to buy the car within 14 days from the rigged roulette spins, at today’s priced of in game credits at $20USD : 2,000,000 credits, it would cost $35 USD to buy one car……. ONE CAR! And that’s not the most expensive car we’ve seen in game either. A jaguar that is 12M credits, which would be $120 USD…… I think these should be called macrotransations at this point, there is nothing micro about $120

    Game-breaking bugs including the 1.06 update changing the dirt tires on rally cars for off road races which made some races impossible to complete for many.

    The game is always online and needs to be online to function even for the single player campaign, not just multiplayer.
    The physics are great (outside of off-road races), graphics are phenomenal, and the sound design is fantastic. The livery designer is amazing, I have just as much fun designing liveries as I do actually racing. At its very core, GT7 could be a great racing game, if it weren’t for the aforementioned free-to-play-like/gacha mechanics that cripple any longevity this game had.    … Expand

    Greed Turismo 7… between the predatory nature of the economy of the game, the bugs, and the gap of time since the last real GT release, polyphony management should be fired. This is embarrassing to the point of comparison with Cyberpunk. The driving can be good, even great, but thats no excuse - the game is broken and needs to be fixed or Sony should be handing out refunds.

    This has the potential to be a great game if some issues are fixed, but in its current state it’s impossible to recommend.
    In gameplay terms: there is no focused single player content past the introductory “Cafe” system, which is essentially a lengthy tutorial. Almost every car is prone to far more oversteer than in reality. The AI is poor, and when it crashes into you, you are penalised.

You spend too much time navigating menus, and those menus are not well thought out. Event variety is poor, with almost all single player events being overtaking challenges.
    The game also suffers from a highly predatory business model. Race payouts are very poor, and have been reduced further in patches. This is presumably to push you towards the prominently-featured micro transactions, which leave some cars costing upwards of £60 of real money (or hundreds of hours of grinding). The game is also always-online, and therefore unplayable if the servers (or your Internet connection) are down, as they are at the time of writing.    … Expand

    The legacy of Gran Turismo is one that’s held close in the hearts of millions of fans across the globe as well as your own. Polyphony Digital as well as Sony’s other first-party studios is held to a different standard in our gaming industry. History has shown that their work leads the way in quality experiences and fair practices in an era where unfortunately the industry heads in the opposite direction. The current state of Gran Turismo 7 is a mixed bag, on one end you have a technical masterclass on what a first-party racing title should be like. While at the same time leaning heavily into the same toxic practices that other infamous studios and publishers have done of heavily monetizing the insides of fully a priced game, as well as making it online only. All the while slashing the in-game economy and rewards to make it incredibly difficult to amass enough credits to fulfill the game's ultimate vision: Collect Cars. The way it’s currently set up is an egregious cash grab, one that feels unlike Polyphony Digital and Sony Interactive Entertainment’s rich history of quality. We the community wish you would do better to not sink to those low practices of other toxic studios and publishers, and to own up and make changes to the game that will turn its trajectory towards the better.
    We want a fair in-game economy that will award us a balanced amount of credits and rewards so we can build our collections.
    This as well as taking another look at the online only decision, days like March 17 2022 are a prime example of why this decision will hurt the game in the long run.
    As fans of the series and the game we hope you listen and engage with our concerns, we are your community.
    The legacy of one of PlayStation's original and iconic series rests always in your hands.    … Expand

    Making the game require online servers to play single player/story mode is ridiculous. The recent updates have pushed micro transactions by reducing race rewards and the latest server maintenance has lasted 20+ hours at the time of posting. Very disappointing updates to an otherwise amazing game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had been counting down the days for this to come out. I was so excited for the enhanced graphics, great physics and tons of single player racing to be had - plus the nostalgia of loving gt1 and 2 as the first ever games I played on ps1. After the first weekend, I had almost completed the entire main story of gt7.

    The graphics are great. There are many cool cars to be had and lots of tuning to do on each individual car. I loved the courses, they all look good and are fun to race around. I want to love it so badly. I wanted to be racing for hours and hours and enjoying getting deeper into the story and collecting.

    But.. there is so much wrong with this game down to basic fundamental planning I’m not sure how they released it in this state. They promised unique engine noises for each car, which proved to not be true. Almost all of the races you do in the entire game are “catch up” races where you start at a rolling start and the AI in front of you is even spaced out. This results in the #1 AI car being turns in front of you even from the beginning. So usually your car has to be much more powerful than the cars your racing or you don’t have a chance. This is not racing.

    There are no qualifying races for position? How is that even possible. The game is one of the shortest games I’ve ever played, some of it’s predecessors we’re over 20x longer to complete fully. Licenses on dirt roads or even dirt races in general have horrible physics. Plus plenty of missions/licenses they just forgot to put dirt tires on the cars so it’s impossible to win at this point. The campaign or “cafe menu” system is extremely flawed, mainly it’s designed with very few actual races or championships and the rewards are too easy to collect and telegraphed by making you collect 3 packs of cars in order. Why not make the car collection system random? And you can collect 3 pack sets over time which net you something greater? It’s setup so linear it’s infuriating. Not to mention, the entire campaign at this point is built around the B and A license. Making the license tests for international B, A and super licenses completely useless. You can very easily setup championships and races to do it seems like it was intentionally made to be short, perhaps to focus on microtransaction sales via collecting cars. They turned the game into a car collection game over a racing game. They have now put in tickets where you roll random loot. Totally fine to have loot boxes in the game. But when you make a pay to win option where you can buy coins to just straight buy whatever you want if you use your real money.. that is so incredibly disingenuous towards your loyal fans it’s insulting. At this point, shame on this company for releasing the game in this state - and for planning it out like this in the first place. I will forever remember being disappointed at gran turismo 7 and the last season of game of thrones as the most disappointing things in my life thus far.    … Expand

Let me progress myself, purchase used cars fix them up grind for more credits and beat the next race series. If I want to go into the history of the cars provide me with the museum in Brand Central like in GT Sport. 2. The micro transactions are disappointing but isn’t the end of the world. What I hate is the “car roulette”. This is insulting. It is not rewarding and leaves accessing particular tuning options to chance. I bought GT because I enjoy the grind caRPG mechanic, why oh why, did they introduce this outrageous fruit machine to the franchise?
    3. Why are there no grid starts or qualifying? I feel like every race I do I’m chasing down the pack as part of an overtake challenge rather than intense racing at each corner. 4. Used cars are the same for everyone (depending on your GT Cafe progress) and it’s frustrating that it doesn’t update every day. You can’t bring something different/unique to the multiplayer lobbies like you could in GT5. 5. The always online requirement ruins this game 100%. Whenever there is server maintenance you can’t play the SINGLE PLAYER game. You’re stuck with boring mini games such as Music Rally which I hate so much. I want to play the £70 single player game when I want not have to rely on the online servers to be available to authorise me to play my game. And now we have a worst case scenario in play with these systems where the servers have been done for an extended period of time, the game has become unplayable. Why? Single player should not be affected by any online services at all and it raises a big question: what happens when in 5 years time the GT7 servers go EOL? Will that disable all copies of GT7 around the world? I still play my copies of GT2 and GT4 today. I expect to be able to play my copy of GT7 again in 15 years time.

    The fundamental racing is pretty great, so it's sad to see the game held back by a poorly planned reward structure. Sport event rewards are the biggest problem to me. The sport payouts are miniscule for the time and difficulty involved.    … Expand

    However this game is held back terribly by it’s need to always be connected to the internet to play the single player races and the absolutely god-awful grind that is very clearly pushing you towards using micro-transactions and real money to buy the cars already in the game. This feels absolutely scummy and very disappointing to see from a full price console games. This is the cumulative result of devs who pour their heart and soul into a game only to have the higher-ups force grubby micro-transactions to pad their bottom line and line the executives pockets. Not to mention they have been patching the game to make it more of a grind after already purchasing the game. Bad move PD, bad move. Good game, held back by scummy sales tactics.    … Expand

    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.
