    It's a really good game, tons of fun, i don't get why people keep complaining about it

    All the time crashes after the race begin. Absolutely dishonest lottery ticket system. In general, it's a disappointment, not a good game.

Gran Turismo 7 has taught me that I can no longer buy games on release. I have to wait and see what the players are saying about a game before I decide to buy or not. We can't trust reviews from gaming journalist if gaming companies are going to remove aspects of the game that they know will be unpopular in order to secure a better review to bolster sales. There are over 8500 negative reviews on this game mostly, due to, microtransactions, small race payouts, and lack of one player content so I won't belabor points others have already made. The one aspect of the game that people seem to be ok with is the the actual gameplay. However, I think this is subpar as well and this is largely due to the AI. The AI does not serve as competition for the player, it is only there to provide an illusion of competition. The AI in this game randomly receives grip and speed boost making practicing on a track to get better almost pointless. It doesn't race other AI's or the player. When you grind a race, you notice cars behaving exactly the same over and over again. The AI is programed to do certain things at certain times. That's it. I think Polyphony has grown tired of making Gran Truismo so they made GT7 to put the franchise out to pasture. That's the only way any of this makes sense. Expand

    Game has great driving physics, glorious hardware accelerated audio that is realistic, good dualsense controller execution and from a technical standpoint its amazing.

    However gameplaywise this game has completly and entirely failed to deliver a well made Singleplayer Campaign at all. Hence this Game only gets a 2 in its Score. It doesnt offer anything for the casual playerbase to play

    It doesnt offer anything for the casual playerbase to play with. Its a wannabe Esport Game that has forgot that Esports requires a playerbase, especially a casual audience in order to even grow.
    But glad it has lottery tickets of disappointment on daily basis, that can only cause frustrationg by beeing useless and permanently giving the worst rewards.

    I've played all the GT games ever since the very first one. It's always been the main reason I buy each model Playstation but version 7.. leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The rigged roulette wheel, the highly annoying dashboard reflections in the windscreen. Changing of physics after I bought the game (for a lot of money) are all a disgrace. I'm not at all happy with it. After all thoseI've played all the GT games ever since the very first one.

After all those years development you would think they could at least match GT4 but they haven't even got close. It's not a zero out of 10 game but I can't give it more than a 2 and if I had of recently loaded it up and got 2 dollars on the roulette it would be a 1. Expand

    One of the best car simulators! Graphics are great, the feeling of sound and control is very realistic. An interesting model of passage, you feel high when you get prizes after passing the tracks

    This is simple best racing game on consoles. Btw anybody giving 0/10 or talking about microtransactions know nothing, game has no issue with economy after April patch as you can earn plenty money in circuit experience, human comedy missions, time trials every 2 weeks etc. (btw I platinumed this game with 0 grinding)

    Low quality game. The developers Polyphony Digital are now oned by Sony and haven't made a good game since Gran Turismo 5. More like a mobile game.

    Sony has made the flagship race simulator franchise into an online-only, microtransaction-filled abomination.

    They said: "how can we maximize profits with this game?" And it reeks of corporate design. Say 'NO' to games that require an online connection. Say 'NO' to games that try to milk you with microtransactions, in-game "currency", etc. Pure shameless cash grab.

    Best Gran Turismo game I've played so far, and maybe one of the greatest racing games I've played in the past 10 years.

    The only minus is that we can't sell cars like the old Gran Turismo games, but it's part of the game mechanic of collecting cars, so I'll let that slide. EDIT: With the recent changes around the low in-game race payments, always-online DRM, and extremely high

    With the recent changes around the low in-game race payments, always-online DRM, and extremely high prices for MICROTRANSACTIONS, I've become a disappointed fan. Until these aspects of the game are changed, I will update the score to a 0 out of 10.

I am very disappointed in the blatant MTX cashgrab that PD have opted for in GT7. It is much worse than in GT Sport which was an acceptable balance between DLC car cost and race rewards. The extremely limited playability offline is also somewhat disappointing. The driving experience is great but at this point I am going to stop playing for a while to see if they rebalance the rewards. The roulette system is also very obviously geared to give you low prize more often than not. A huge problem is also that certain tuning components can also only be obtained from this system. Very disappointed in PD especially considering I paid over $100NZD for this game I wouldn’t expect to continue to be fleeced by the developers for in-game credits. Expand

    Great core game like all the rest I've played in the series BUT these micro transactions, ridiculous grinding to buy overpriced cars, can't sell your cars, then you need to be online to access the main game.

    It is very important to note that this is not a racing game - it is a chasing game... You always start a "race" at the back and already travelling at full speed (a rolling start) rather than a grid, and you can't qualify higher up so there are at least 7 (often many more than this) cars of the same level as yours all spread out in front of you stretching off into the distance and you haveIt is very important to note that this is not a racing game - it is a chasing game...

Dreadful game design as it never feels fair or like an actual race.

    The microtransactions are also dreadfully implemented as without them, you will be grinding the same races again and again and again to try to keep up with the cost of buying, upgrading and maintaining your vehicles.

    That's not to mention smaller issues such as the very limited and low quality music or that the music challenges themselves are poorly executed and add nothing to the game in terms of variety.

    I've loved the Gran Turismo series since 1 and this is the most poorly designed yet. I bought a PS5 for this game and I am very disappointed in Polyphony Digital - they have lost significant credibility in my eyes as a developer and I won't trust them in future.

    I have been putting my time into this game and I think I was misled on how "Great" this game is by everyone. It feels like they took the PS4 and did bare minimum upgrades and add a few new cars. Just look at the car list to understand, most of the cars are pre-2018. And then there is the music from like 2000's emo rock bands. And by far the worst thing, the graphics are still sub-par.I have been putting my time into this game and I think I was misled on how "Great" this game is by everyone.

And then there is the music from like 2000's emo rock bands. And by far the worst thing, the graphics are still sub-par. Great, you have raytracing in Gran Turismo 7 but not in any actually playing / race mode. The actual surrounding around the track (the trees, the fencing, the stands, etc) all feel like a Fifa flipping shortcut flat with no uniqueness... it looks Sus if every rod in a fence is exactly the same. And don't get me wrong, this is a simulation... and it still doesn't simulate wall crashes or accidents and still win a race. How is this considered a "Great" Sim Racer at this point? It is just an average good game... but not any 10s worthiness as some reviewers say.

    ---With 1.07 Release---
    Now they patched the game to P2W. Sort of done... moving on. Lower from 7 to a 3 now.

    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.
