    Paid $90 dollars just to get time soaked into spending more money on cars. Painful and heart breaking. I spent hundreds of hours in Sport.

    ARGH! Another gaming franchised killed by corporate greed. Don't get me wrong. I was enjoying this game, until the pay-to-win crap went online.

    I spent almost a hundred bucks on this game and they changed it to something I’d never have paid for. I feel cheated.

    I wish there was a number lower than 0 we could use. This constant gouging of customers is hitting an all time high and yielding absolutely nothing for the player. Let’s just patch a simple way to earn items faster, make it extremely long winded to get said items and make the player pay real money for minimal things like cars that you used to get with just a minimal to moderate grind.

    Polyphony and Sony are so dirty for hiding the exorbitant micro transactions. This was supposed to be a remastered Gran Turismo 4 with GT Sport online qualities. I returned it to Amazon in disgust.

    Updates have killed the game. Single player still relays on servers so when they go down you can’t play. It’s so much harder to earn credits now they’ve nerfed race bonuses

    I'm appalled. GT7 appears to be the game of exceptional quality we all expected but the recent patch (1.07) is an affront to all loyal supporters of both PlayStation and Polyphony. I checked in with all of my normal reviewers the day *before* the patch, saw decent reviews and bought the game. By the time I played for the first time patch 1.07 was live. And of course.. no refunds. I'veI'm appalled.

    I will not play Gran Turismo 7 (the damage is done). Sony, Polyphony, if you want me back as a customer do better with GT8.

    Due to absurd always online DRM and server maintenance outside of my control, at the time of this review GT7 gets a genuine zero. There is no game to play. No graphics, no sound and no game. Shameful.

    Another game where we gamers are lied to, absolutely disgusting. Whoever made this decision should be fired. When are they going to learn that you don't screw over your loyal fans. Screwing over everyone just so you can exploit a small amount people with money throw away.

    The original game review is true in terms of playability, but the update messed up the credit system - grinding is the word now… if Forza was available on PS5…

Post launch updates have also made sure to sir to adjust the balance of payouts between races. The grinding is meant to be an inconvenience to the player, comma and hopefully persuade them into skipping the loop and opting into buying virtual currency in order to enjoy the game faster. It is a highly predatory practice, especially if you include the fact that players can no longer sell their used cars as they were able to previously do in older Gran Turismo titles for faster credits. Avoid this game at all costs and pick a racing simularor that does not pray on its players nearly as much. Expand

    What can I say that hasn’t already been said? This game has been littered with scummy “live service” micro transitions that completely take advantage of the consumer. This is NOT ok, Sony. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere from now on.

Oh yeah you need to get connected online to play the game otherwise it’s super limited.

    I feel like I’ve been rip off just like with EA Battlefield 2042 crappy game. No it’s STILL NOT a triple AAA game it should have been. Polyphony Digital is like 343 Industries they can’t make AAA games. For the Polyphony Hypocrisy micro transactions scamming methods I put a Big Zero rating.

    Stay away from this game.

    Very disappointed about the game in general but specifically about the awful strategy of Sony and Polyphony about this game. Impossible to gain credits and forcing us to put more money in the game through micro transactions. Not worth the price.

    It saddens me how low this franchise has gone since the golden years of GT. To resort to this sort of behaviour of not letting initial reviewers play the game that have the microtransactions should not be allowed legally. The day-one patch changed the mechanics of the game so much it can be considered a totally different game.

    The grind in this game is absolutely not feasible for people

    The grind in this game is absolutely not feasible for people that don't want to dedicate hundreds of hours just to unlock a few cars, they prey on this to force you into buying credits.

    Don't know what else to say, I'm completely gutted by this game, a real shame.

    With the path this game is on it is not worth playing in the least bit. Forza (series) has won me over bar none, come to racing games. I was super hyped for GT7, but they obviously favor microtransactions over anything and proceeded to make the game online only for single player career modes, and made it even more grindy. No thank you im good.

Don't sell the game as a physical copy if you're not going to let me play it offline. This is so horribly anti consumer. And as far as game preservation goes, this game will only be playable as long as the servers are up and I'm sure they will shut it down in 10 years. I've bought every Gran Turismo game since the first one and this will be my last. Never buying another one again.

Single player must be online for some reason and server maintenance shutting the server down for more than a day only to come up with a terrible patch ruined the game. There seems to be some very short sighted upper management decisions that cut rewards for racing in half making it a massive grind to obtain credits and buy cars. This was a full price AAA game, I had no intention of paying more real money to buy cars to race. Give me a free game if you want to attempt this monetization model. The greed is glaring and the minimal spike they’re going to see in micro transactions will be lost ten fold when they try to release another game after this. My personal viewpoint is that they got my money for the game, they won’t get a dime for the micro’s and I won’t be buying future releases from polyphony if this isn’t fixed. I have no interest in playing at all in the games current state. 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.
