    Pros:
    Great driving physics.
    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.

    Cons:
    Campaign too short, feels unfinished.
    Always online.
    BoP is exploitable in online races, so they took it out for now. Should've been fixed before release.

    Mediocre in-game graphics, gameplay feels sluggish, and the decisions regarding the chase cam and car physics are not even the most atrocious thing about this game. The microtransactions, and the need to be online always. Grand Turismo used to be the benchmark racing game, now feels like something that EA would have made. Does not feel like this should be a full priced game.

    Update: just realized that the cars on sale have expiration dates in attempts to feed consumer FOMO, and I find that disgusting.

    This is no longer a game to me, so I give this a zero.

    A return to traditional GT campaign with added emphasis on car collecting and an improved physics model that still feels very GT.

    Do you like micro transactions, do you like grindy games that don’t reward you. Do you like always online drm. Then this games for you. Thank you Sony for patching this game and somehow managing to make it worse.

    40 bucks for a semi-decent car shows that Polyphony has fallen to the greed of Microtransactions. Their communication to the world is also mindboggling. 30 hours downtime and not a word. This is my first GT game. Never again. Pathetic!

    Had such high hopes for this game, but the inconsistent physics make it difficult to predict and react to what your car will do. Also the payout rewards are far too low and are constructed to force you into MTX in order to be competitive in online racing. It makes me sad.

    Best things are the graphics. Always starting in last and catching up to 1st place 2 miles in front of you is not fun. The microtransactions of in game currency to buy cars is absolutely disgusting. I wanted to love this game.

    Always online BS means when their servers go down, you can’t play — not single player, not campaign, not even local split screen. $70 game that becomes a paper weight because PD can’t keep their servers up. As well, GT has gone from a premier racing game to a micro transaction push. I honestly regret buying this game, and it will sadly be my last Gran Turismo — been playing my whole life.Always online BS means when their servers go down, you can’t play — not single player, not campaign, not even local split screen. $70 game that becomes a paper weight because PD can’t keep their servers up.

    Micro transactions and greedy business model have ruined this game. This game was good at first, but when you complete the main story (Cafe) it quickly loses all replay value.

Costs of everything in this game from 40k tires to 100k Nitrous system quickly burn through your cash. The cars are also very expensive ranging from 40k to 20 mil. This wouldn't normally be an issue but race rewards have been NERFED. The reason behind the high car prices from the developer is to reflect real world prices, well who in the world would pay 100k for a Nitrous system?! Timed released cars require a large amounts of money and are designed to incorporate micro transactions.
    The car selection is really lacking also. Sure it seems like a lot of cars, but most are are just recycled. They are the same cars but rebranded as rally, police, concept, or different year versions. My actual favorite was the 2019 Supra and the 2020 Supra.
    I was overly hyped for the game because of my love of cars. This game managed to take the toxic side of the car community and pack it into a game. If that was the goal of the game, then they did a great job. I bought this game to relax and drive cars, and escape from the reality that I'll never drive a Bugatti. Now I'm stuck with a game that has boring races, terrible dirt tracks, and no real replay value. More disappointed in this game than cyberpunk, and at least they offered a refund. I didn't take a refund from them, but this game I would. I would rather play a buggy game with heart, than a void experience forcing me to micro transactions. Great job ruining this game after the first patch that was geared towards reducing player economy, than fixing things like dirt maps.

    What an absolute disappointment. Actual gameplay is decent as usual. The menu’s are horrendous and take entirely too many button presses to do anything at all. Automatic BS music replays after every race that you have to exit out of time after time. There are too many cars ripped right out of GT Sport. You would think this game was made in the mid 2010’s with the cars available. TheWhat an absolute disappointment. Actual gameplay is decent as usual.

There are too many cars ripped right out of GT Sport. You would think this game was made in the mid 2010’s with the cars available. The “upgrades” are priced absolutely ridiculous, just putting soft racing tires on a car can cost multiple races worth of winnings. Hours worth of gameplay if you even want to decently upgrade ONE car. Which leads me to the obvious issue, it is unacceptable how many credits you receive for each race. I’m not playing this game 10 hours a day, I’m not grinding the same race 20 times in a row before they nerf the rewards again. I’m a casual player that wants to jump in for a bit when I have time. Which means I can’t afford any cars I want, I can’t upgrade anything, I can’t even paint my f*****g cars without being broke all the time. But this is exactly where they want us to be, so we buy their outrageously priced credits with real money. I’m not even going to get into not being able to play the game I just paid $70 for because everything is only online and they took it down. Sony should be ashamed at the state of this game, and appalled that the creator is doubling down on his BS instead of accepting fault and making adjustments. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS THEY HAVE MADE DRASTIC CHANGES TO THE IN GAME ECONOMY. Expand

    Bad attitude towards the fans of the GT-series. Dropping rewards to increase the value of microtransactions. Need for a constant online connection in single player mode. I do not recommend this game because of the greed of the developers. If you maintain such an attitude, then in the next series, in order to go further, you will need to buy a car for real money, buying the game twice?Bad attitude towards the fans of the GT-series.

    This was supposed to be a return to classic Gran Turismo with a strong single player campaign and good sense of progression throughout. Unfortunately this isn’t the case with a relatively short single player campaign (The Cafe) that lacks the variety of events that older GT games had.

The license tests are also just a side feature, like missions, that dont interact with the main campaign like older GT games. The biggest complaint I have though is that cars that were normally attainable through regular gameplay are now nearly impossible to save up, requiring the player to grind for 20+ hours due to lack of high paying end game content or the ability to sell any cars. Of course, this is to push people into microtransactions, but even then the pricing is ridiculous. A more proper term would be macrotransactions, with some cars costing more than the game itself. For example the McLaren F1 would cost $185 of real money. Even if the dollar-to-credit ratio was 10x better, I would still seriously consider buying any credits out of fear of encouraging this type of behavior from game developers. Maybe the best GT fans can hope for now is a GT4 release on PSN. As long as GT7 is in this state I would recommend saving your money. Expand

    Seems many 'reviews' are actually nothing but whining about about how people feel about MTX and online connection. Both of which are actually non issues for me.

    If you enjoy circuit-based racing games and looking at beautifully modelled cars it really is a joy. The graphics are not quite where I'd like them to be, it pays not to look too closely or you will see the occasional pop-in and some odd, almost stuttering, reflections on the cars. But when you're engrossed in a race, trying desperately to get that 3rd place to progress, you won't notice.

    I've not been playing for long, only got 30 cars or so. Two I won on the 'lottery', so although you often 'win' the lowest credit amount it does give you some nice rewards. I've yet to not be able to progress because I ran out of credits. You don't need every car and so far found you don't need to spend much on upgrades to be winning races.

    I'm sure it'll get harder and the credits will need to be spent wisely later on, but I really don't see a need to spend anything on MTX later. As for the always online? Well I am always online anyway, so I don't mind.

    Is it a 10/10 game? No, maybe 8.5/10?. Why did I rate it 10/10? To try and counter the ridiculous review bombing going on.

    If you enjoyed GT games in the past you will love this.

    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.
