    This game is a shameless money-grab. The driving feels good, but everything else is below par. Online DRM, an absolute rigged lottery ticket system, inability to sell cars, poor graphics, purposeful tediousness to encourage microtransactions. This series is a shell of what it was once.

    This is really awful after they raise the price of car in the latest patch...The classic two steps forward one step back maneuver, followed by a sneaky half step forward now that the backlash has died down in an attempt to see how much they can push and get away with.

    The egregious micro transactions made me lose faith in this game. They just made it worse with the new update, thinking no one would see it coming or comment on it after the initial storm blew over

    I thought that Playstation is for the players but not with this game. This game is for the money because of the microtransactions. I'm very disappointed in Playstation.

    So much potential here wasted, and Kazunori Yamauchi's reasoning behind the monetization is silly. Trying to tie a game car to real life value?

    I can't recommend this game to anyone until they address the horrendous monetization.

    Not much of a racing fan. The game itself is great but once again a game requiring an online connection is just something I'm never okay with. It's disgusting. Lowering my score. This is a disgrace. The micro transactions are bs.

    Wonderful Gran Turismo experience! Beautiful graphics, excellent physics and sound. Tons of awesome real race tracks, car modding and tuning. Only issues, rolling starts always in last place, rigged Roulette, and lack of newer cars.

Microtransactions should be forbidden. The other thing is online only and servers down for 24h!! It’s a damn joke and such a huge disappointment. They’re destroying the game and the loyal fan base. I’m out till they fixed the game. Speechless …… Expand

I am now deciding whether to get rid of it all due to GT7 turning into a dumpster fire. Come out with an update that corrects all this or I'm out! This is wholly unacceptable and nothing but greed!

    In patch 1.07 Polyphony just made it harder to earn in-game credits by reducing race rewards in hope to force people to pay real money for it…

    I mean come on… with most of the money grab decisions from Sony this generation, this is still a new low. I am just gonna stop playing GT7 and go back to Horizon 5…..

    Good job on increasing car prices in update 1.15. This game is garbage.

    What could be a game to have fun driving several cars on famous tracks has been turned into a tedious task of playing several hours to get just one car, pushing the financial side to the detriment of fun.

    15 years of waiting and this release is only a shadow of the previous version: Gran Turismo 6. The game feels like they took Gran Turismo Sports and made in into GT7 overnight.

    - Standing starts with practices amd wualifying session (as opposed to always start from last place)

    - Fix the AI, they are either too easy or too hard (the AI can cheat and have better PP than you)
    - Add real endurance races, not missions - so you can earn the money more than once.
    - Actually make the roulette system random, it's so obvious you get the lowest value prize every time.
    - AI good when passing but then ram you if they catch up, this needs fixing.

The inability to enjoy the campaign without internet is unforgivable. I can understand the high price for cars to be reflective of real world cars but you have to give a little on either being awarded those same cars with difficult races or by making credits easier to come by. Not only did they do neither of those but they nerfed payouts and made it where you can't sell reward cars which was a huge feature of the earlier games. This is a robbery of $70 ($100 in my case since I bought the 25th anniversary edition since I am a religous fan). I paid resell value for a PS5 because I wanted to play this game so bad. I genuinely feel lied to and swindled as someone who has gone out of their way to play every Gran Turismo. I have learned an expensive lesson. EDIT: the game has hardly improved from this. They are ruining the franchise.… Expand

Matchmaking takes years, no real penalties, UI is horrible (has been great in GT Sports), lobbies cant start races, people divebomb to hell and get no penalties.
    After a race, there are six screens you need to hammer the X button through before you can actually do what you want.

    This game is a absolute failure.

    Not joking: The first patch added some more music.

    Edited after a few months: The next 3 patches are in. The BOP is still completely screwed up. Lobbies still dont work and settings there cant be saved. Payouts are a bit higher but you still cant sell cars. But PD is starting the GT World Series now, so they clearly dont give a sh*t about these issues.    … Expand

Despite that the game offers everything GT Sport had, while being much improved on the technical side and adding a solid single player experience. But the most important thing for real racers is the feel of the cars. The sound is a blast, handling and physics are great and the dual-sense-controller fuels a whole new level of realism and feedback. Great stuff!… Expand

    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.
