    Getting the licenses is the only fun part of the game. Save your 70$ for something else. No nostalgia in this game. Just micro transactions.

    As a long time GT fan, it beyond pains me to see the current state of this beloved franchise. The scariest part is that the fiasco is not caused by incompetency by Sony or PD. It is a cold and calculated operation to deceive and manipulate the playerbase to maximise profit at all costs. They knew what they are doing. Did they anticipate the backlash? Most definitely. Did they care? Most definitely not. They did their math and knew the minority of whales would more than cover the damage done by alienating their loyal fanbase of 25 years.

    The whole game has been designed from ground up to maximise MTX. Elements to promote MTX has been weaved into almost every aspect to the game. From obvious ones like the inability to sell cars and FOMO, to the subtle ones like the background of the credit earning screen made to resemble a top-up card.

    After the community made their voice heard, PD and Kaz effectively doubled down on their appoach while offering nothing but empty and vague promises. The appearance of the McLaren F1 (a fan favourite) for 18.5m following by the Porsche 917K at 18m following the backlash is almost hilarious.

    Given how Sony and PD have reacted, there is unfortunately little optimism that they will backtrack from their "ostrich head in the sand" approach. A shame really, how this once legendary franchise will end.

    Had the potential to be a 9.5 game, but I cannot give more than a 0 for the disgusting way Sony and PD had deceived and betrayed their loyal fanbase.    … Expand

    I am deeply disappointed with GT7. I was so excited to play it, but not long after I started playing, things started to fall apart. Here is why:

    The "campaign" is way too small, that menu thing does not give a sense of progression of any sort. The events are badly grouped by region, a very small amount of events/races. Only 10 championships and many of them are only 2 races in one    I am deeply disappointed with GT7. I was so excited to play it, but not long after I started playing, things started to fall apart. Here is why:

    The "campaign" is way too small, that menu thing does not give a sense of progression of any sort.

    The events are badly grouped by region, a very small amount of events/races. Only 10 championships and many of them are only 2 races in one track (normal and reverse) with 2 laps each.

    The multiplayer daily races are weekly races actually. The AI does not follow the sportmanship.

    No endurances at all (custom races with 200 laps aren't the same thing).

    No formula GT.

    They say there's over a hundred tracks. IF you count the track variants. If not, there's not even 50.

    That roulette thing is so ridiculous. After so many gift cards to spin it, 95% of times I got the worse prize.

    No photo mode during races.

    The economy is terrible. If you want to buy cars below 100k credits it's ok, but there are many good and great cars costing 1 to 3 millions and some awesome cars costing arount 8 million to 20 million credits and with the ridiculously low races rewards it takes an extremely long grind to get them.

    After finishing the whole menu, with many sport races and replaying some events I couldn't get 6 million yet. This forces the grinding, but Polyphony don't want that, they wan't you to buy the credits via mtx, so they heavily nerf the rewards. If there were more events (much much more), the grind would reduce a lot, and so the overall purchase of mtx. They don't want that.

    Before the game launch Sony showed a state of play. Because of that I decided to buy GT7. I can't remember when I was so disappointed in my entire gaming experience since the early 90's, if I've ever been. I never felt so deceived.

    The graphics are really great (sometimes the raytracing feels weird in car showroom, but its ok), the simulation too. For the first time I managed to get gold in all licenses, probably the difficulty is not as high as in previous GTs, but I really liked that. It is difficult, but its not impossible. The game had everything to be GREAT at launch, but its not, and there's still a very long road to it, maybe one day it will be great. I hope it will. Because Gran Turismo was by far my favorite racing simulation game. But Sony/Polyphony greedy ruined it.    … Expand

    Another good game and a good series raped by micro transactions. You can no longer sell cars you win from races and they recently made the meager race payouts about 60% of what they used to be. Been playing since Gran Turismo on playstation 1 and they've convinced me not to play at this point.

    Overall I'd suggest waiting for Sony to do the honourable thing, and fix the hugely unfair MTX and grind. The score reflects how this game makes you feel. (If MTX was fixed it would score an 8/10).

    If you intend to play them be warned, just as the game hooks you, the realisation that its like real life hits you.

    If you intend to play them be warned, just as the game hooks you, the realisation that its like real life hits you. Meaning you'll want play with cars, and you can not afford them, nor try out all the upgrades / tuning options.

    Shame on you Sony. To add a personal view, I bought a PS5 just to play this game - its the "exclusive" which made me choose a PlayStation. NEVER AGAIN. AAA games should never have MTX or cosmetic only MTX. Anything else logically diminishes the game in order to create a problem that players can solve for real world money. You choose to do this for an exclusive title, one that in the past has been a launch title multiple times.

    If anyone still wants more detail of the good and the bad, pro's and cons are below:

    Pro's
    -------
    * Very beautiful game, graphically superb in fact, especially if you have a 4k HRD screen. Races with day to night cycle have a fantastic feel.
    * Attention to detail is amazing. The tracks, cars, interiors, paint finishes, wheel rims etc are all lovingly recreated, with surprising detail.
    * Plays very well on the controller, with force feedback being detailed and immersive
    * Wet weather simulation is good, not the best, but looks great, and effects your car in a pretty realistic way - certainly enough to be fun

    Cons
    --------
    * Most expensive cars to date in a Gran Turismo series.
    * Most expensive cars upgrades to date in a Gran Turismo series.
    * MTX is the most expensive in history. Many cars costing upwards of £30, and the worst case is way over £200 - Are you completely out of your mind Sony?
    * Hardest grind for money to date for any active Gran Turismo game. THE absolute kicker here, was reducing the race prize pay outs AFTER the game was reviewed
    * One of the few Gran Turismo game where you can not sell cars you do not want. So if you're one of the few people to win a decent car and you don't like it - tough, no swapping it for you.
    * Roulette Tickets are a complete joke. Gives the impression of being random but see how often you avoid the smallest cash prize! Or win an "invitation" to buy a car, which is limited in time, and you wont be able to afford unless you have grinded the game to death already.
    * Multiplayer is still in development, and is evolving, so has fairly limited content
    * During maintenance periods due to DRM the only thing you can do is play music rally's. No off line mode for the single player campaign. (Makes no sense on the PS5 version at all)    … Expand

    What started off as a sweet experience slowly turned sour. I've been playing Gran Turismo since they released GT2. GT4 was my favourite. Let's get into GT7 a little. You get crap rewards for winning races. You are forced on a linear path to unlock the game and Ll of its races. The licenses are a joke. You don't

    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.
