    I'm very disappointed in the latest installment of this beloved series. I have all the previous game, and none of them full price 80€ game had such micro-transaction pressure.
    The amount of money you make in the game make it a complete plain to pay with in game credit for the most expensive car. This is NOT how micro-transaction should work. not for a free to play game, and certainly not

    Grind or pay, but you can forget the fun...

    And the Solo campaigne required connection is just a spit in the face. I cannot play when your server are offline? You're wasting my time Polyphony Digital....

    You drop the ball on that one. I will change my score if you patch all this crap though

    March 7th 2022 Update
    Upgraded the rating to 7 because last patch 1.11 improve economics a lot.
    Won't go higher because we are still required to be connected for solo play which is a big downside
    Could add some cafe menu on pit stop, changing weather, endurance races, cars from other countries, circuit experience, GR1 cars, VGT cars, etc.
    I've finish the cafe menu solo play with only 80 cars... and most of them are not a million credit car. Am I supposed to mindlessly grind a billion credit to buy the 300+ remaining cars, most of them costing several millions credit?
    I would have expected a better polished game from PD instead of a game as a service with constant update.

    I paid 80€ for a full game with microtransactions that are so obvious and so pushed, it makes Ubisoft as a generous philanthropist. I don't have a PS+ account and Yet I still need to be online to play the game. All the usual cons are still there (bad AI, not car damage, terrible external views, bad ergonomy, over flooded HUD, poorly updated car list).

    It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message. Disappointed with Sony and Polyphony’s choice for forced online connection to the single player.

    Game for people that looking to play casualy with AI or in custom lobby with couple of friends. Sport mode is unplayable, penalty system is not working, even lobbys on higher level where guys have PFP S is one big mess. People are ramming into you because they will not recieve a penalty. Comparing to online mode in ACC this game is a trash

    Always online, hard to make money to get new cars, and most importantly STILL WE DON’T HAVE FREEROAM, Imagine you buy new car and don’t have a chance to drive it on streets … I wish we had forza on sony consoles…

    Clearly built from the ground up to sell microtransactions (although there's nothing micro about them), shallow single player experience and always online requirement make this a disgusting representation of everything wrong with games coming out today.

    DRM needs to die. physical or digital single player game but u can't play for 24 hours because their servers go down. unacceptable. for a racing game that's so perfect at the game part, it gets a 0 score for drm. take that away and its a 9/10

    The driving is absolutely superb. Licenses are way too easy in the beginning, but later on are a nice challenge. I appreciate the love for cars that went into the game with its detailed display of car history. The variety of cars is also pretty good in my opinion.

    So let‘s get to the negative: 1. Always-on mechanic in a Single Player game. We saw what happened when the server went down, the game is then basically useless. What will happen to the game once the servers will be shut down sometime in the future?
    2. Microtransactions: What on earth were they thinking here? First of all: there should be no microtransactions at all in a game like this. But when you implement make them at least reasonable and not as greedy as herr. They intentionally reduced the price money for races. These are the reasons why I can‘t rate it higher than 4 even thiugh K enjoyed the game itself.

Beyond this disappointment there is still no need to actually possess any particularly proficient driving skillset, I complete this game within a week just by utilising the weigh reductions tune-up with racing soft tyres, that is all it takes - together with constantly cutting up the incredibly lame NPC opponents to secure cheap wins all around. This strategy has been an exploit ever since the very first title was released and I would like to see this being balanced out. Other exploits are abound, cutting corners, driving straight over S-bend sections, with absolutely no penalty being issued at all. The only thing that they have got right is to have not gone down the rewind function, as has been seen in the Forza series. Please give the players a content sweep akin to Gran Turismo 4, and patch the exploits, then we can discuss the 'Real Driving Simulator' seriously Expand

    A game ruined by greed and shady business practices trying to squeeze money out of every player after making them pay 100 dollars for the game upfront. Save your money.

    Gran Turismo 4 was the pinnacle of what GT could be. It’s been downhill but overall enjoyable up until maybe 6 or sport. Now it’s terrible. Not nearly enough races and you can’t use any of the special cars in ANY races.

    Players should not accept these abuses on a game paid full price (80/100€) Not buying the game or if it is already done, not giving in to the call of the MTX and scuttling the reputation of the game seems the best ways to denounce these scandalous practices.

    It's really sad to see the review bomb this game got, lets talk about what everyone hated on, the graphics, the graphics are good, yes, this isn't what next gen graphics should look like, but let's be real honest here, they are not bad.

    Now, this is a racing/driving sim, not a crash sim..., The driving/racing experience is really good, much better if you have a sim racing wheel, in my case i used the Logitech one, not the best one, but did the work.

    Now the only flaw this game has, is the microtransactions, thats a no for me, on this type of game microtransactions shouldn't be allowed, really pathetic that GT7 has them.

    Another flaw GT7 has, is the only 1 type of multiplayer gamemode it has, you can race with other players online but, somewhere about 20 races you can get bored, it's always the same, i think it has potential for more online game modes.

    Other than all that, the game feels great, it is really a true driving simulator, hope the next game releases better than this one.

    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.
