    NO OFFLINE, SINGLE-PLAYER MODE for an effen $70 game!!! Game economy steers players towards microtransactions. ** Instituted massive changes on first patch... which coincided with the expiration of any refund period! Polyphony took EA's playbook and ran with it!

    Microtransactions specifically designed #4theplayers. Microtransactions, which were deactivated during press review, to avoid bad reviews. Well played Sony!

    Alway online DRM. Game can not be played offline. Not even single player can be played offline. Microtransactions are also ludicrous and anti consumer. Not woth buying.

Stop with the invitations that can only buy certain cars. PD said that we would be able to SELL cars in the game, a feature that is not there. The release was excellent only to shoot yourself in the foot through purposely LOWERING the payouts from races! Disgusting! For those on the fence to buy this game, don't.

    Although the game is a very good improvement from the last GT6, Polyphonie has the privilege to ruin it with a huge MTX and DRM online connection for a base single player game!!!

    At this point achieving a full collection is impossible without either painfully grinding for months and months maybe even years on end or spending stupid amounts of money on micro-transactions. An incredibly expensive title which I 100% regret buying.

    I was excited to finally buy ps5 and among my first game I would have bought Gran Tourismo 7, until I found the reviews about all the unreal stuff they added in the game (micro t., Always online, small rewards...) and I made the decision not to buy the game with this current state. Sucks coz I really wanted to be the first among my friends to buy ps5 and to invite them for a race...

    Had a buddy come over a few days ago, we wanted to try out 2p splitscreen. Turned out he came when the servers were down. I can't understand why you can't play local 2p when the servers are down.

    Never buy a game that is full priced and still has microtransactions!

The two points represents the driving in this game because it doesn't fall any where short of wonderful. The sound design is incredibly accurate and crisp, with wonderful tones that makes the engines sing. The dynamic time and weather are really the icing on the cake and so is the level of love for detail that the developers have including in the cars. It is simply above par from a gameplay point of view and marvelous in everything it does. However, I am going to recommend that you don't spend any money on this and here is why.

    If you have limited time, you will not be rewarded at all for placing what little time you have as an investment into this game. There is a car scarcity, so they are reflective of real world prices (which at times can be outrageous). So, if you like to collect all the cars it is a hard pass. The campaign is incredibly short, as are the missions, and the license tests. There is a disturbing lack of content in Gran Turismo 7 and it suffers greatly due to this absence. Content, meaning cars, races, campaign, series, and events. This is compounded by all of the single player content that is locked if the servers are offline. The last outage spanned thirty-two hours, shortly after launch, with absolutely no feedback from the developers to the consumers. Inexcusable, really. It is truly a disappointment to write this after almost a decade of waiting for this game to come out, especially after all the gameplay improvements and additions.

    Lastly, I just want to say that I am disappointed in Polyphony Digital. After a long run of very successful games in the series, fan dedication, and support overall for such a classy, innovative, and inspiring racing simulation, that they would be even more predatory in their pursuits. Firstly, they left the store out of the review copies, which would have shown their practices to be predatory, and have a negative impact to the image of the game. With all the events of the past two years in mind, you will spend no less (if you are very very lucky) than eight hundred dollars to buy one PlayStation 5 and a copy of Gran Turismo 7. To add insult to an already agonizing injury, they would like to cut the prizes that you receive for winning races, and entice you into spending more money out of your pocket on microtransactions to buy a digital car in a video game. The greed shown here is astounding, to say the least. Not only that, but I am sure that in the future, you will have to pay for the learning AI. I have seen mention of this, I cannot remember where, but I am sure it is searchable if I had more time right now to find it.

    After purchasing seven main entries and GT Sport, unless there is a turn around from an ethics standpoint, I can not justify buying another game from this developer, or recommend anyone else to for that matter. This made me physically sad to write this, I am going to get some fresh air. Cheers.    … Expand

Give less cars at the beginning but more money so people can buy the cars they want.

    Micro transactions are a bad joke... Waiting until critic reviews are out to introduce transactions is a common yet low move for the developer. This industry practice needs to stop. This is false advertising and should be treated as such by industry watchdogs.

    All cars should be reachable in a full priced game without needing to do hundreds of races to get 1 rare car. This is not a free to play experience, someone tell the developer, I think they missed that meeting... Roulette spins are very obviously weighted towards the low end prizes, should be actually random. Reducing race payouts, limited stock cars and legend cars are all clearly trying to drive players to purchase with real money.

    DRM needs to go! Always online mode for any decent content is ridiculous. Arcade and Music Rally are not worth playing on their own, might as well just lock people out during maintenance. Bring back local saves.    … Expand

    Whomever approved these micro transactions at Sony is so out of touch with the player base it’s scary.

    After patch it is unplayable. Collecting all cars is
    almost imposible for casual players.

    Graphic?! Car models are actualy only one good thing on this game.. i wanna cry.

    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.
