    Beautiful visuals and physics but that's where it ends. Ridiculous pay outs to push microtransactions. Finished the campaign (if you can call it that) and barely have any currency or top tier vehicles. Nerfed payouts in latest update. £70 for this is a joke. Never preordering a Sony game again

After that they lowered the prizes of the races that we used to do just so we would have to use real money. A race where you earned 70 k per race, after the update you only get 5k. This should be a crime. IN Gran Turismo Sports you would earn a car per day, here (Gran Turismo 7) you get the chance to spend real money in a game that you already paid 70 dollars to play ! They are trying to be just like EA with those anticonsumerist practices. Its a joke of a game and they think that this is a free mobile game, i wish it were because they would actually have a point to make those greedy actions against theyre loyal fans but no, REMEMBER YOU PAID 70 BUCKS FOR THIS !

    Always online in a single player but if that wasn't bad enough they jacked up the prices and added mtx. I hate what rockstar has become and it seems others are following in their footsteps.

The small amounts of credit rewards coupled with the very expensive cars makes it the most grindy GT ever. It’s very apparent that they want to nudge you towards micro transactions. I get free 2 play vibes from the economy in this game( You can’t even sell cars). Only difference is that you have to pay full price first. Then we have the lack of communication during these server maintenance windows that never seem to end. The ongoing maintenance while writing this review was supposed to last 6 hours. Instead it’s been 24 hours and not a peep from Polyphony. The game went from a solid 8.5-9 to a 0 for me. I can’t play this disgusting piece of sh*t. And that’s not just because it’s impossible to even start during the maintenance. But also because the complete and utter disrespect to the fan base. Congratulations Polyphony Digital. You’ve joined some of the other great fallen studios of this decade. I feel sorry for the people that work at PD who actually care and want to create something amazing.

    Edit: in light of the latest updates I now have changed the score to a 5/10. Im glad they’re starting to listen. I will raise the score further depending on future updates.

    Endurance races are back and better balance of credits vs work. Still a work in progress but improved.
    Pre 1.11 Update. To play you have to be always online. Greedy Microtransactions to force tuning and car purchases in an expensive game. Lack of career mode content and progression, too many free new cars that you can't sell to upgrade others. Missing classic race

    Endurance races are back and better balance of credits vs work. Still a work in progress but improved.

    Pre 1.11 Update.
    To play you have to be always online. Greedy Microtransactions to force tuning and car purchases in an expensive game. Lack of career mode content and progression, too many free new cars that you can't sell to upgrade others. Missing classic race tracks (Grand Valley, Pikes Peak, London, Rome, Seattle?). Missing F1 races. Missing endurance races. Missing race management mode. Unable to sell won cars, so you are left with a bloated and unwanted collection. You have to press X to many times upon completion to exit a a race. You can't navigate to tuning/garage/race quickly.

    However it is a blast! The racing is exactly as GT has always been. Trial Mountain is superb!

    I love GT7.

    However their business strategy is ruining the game as well as the franchise. Freaking expensive cars requiring dozens and dozens of tedious grinding in order to buy. Reducing by 50% the already grinding simulator makes me really sad. I'd love to see the game prosper, but white collar decisions will eventually break the gran turismo series. GT7, the real grinding

    Die hard GT fan since drooling over magazine previews of the original PS1 game all those years ago. Reducing credit payouts in an update to obviously force players into micro transactions stinks. Polyphony were AAA. A rare 1st party that always hits and knows its player base. Soon enough, it won't have one.

    I read the statement that came out today about cars and rarity and value, and it's all just spin to stimulate microtransactions. Corpospeak. I will be actively seeking a refund, and anyone who's against predatory microtransactions should as well. The bait and switch that this company pulled is EA-level stuff.

    After the Menu missions, there's not much left to do with any significant reward. No more free cars, one roulette ticket per day with a low probability of winning anything but the smallest prize. The races don't pay much, but I found a grind that would help me work on my collection.

I am amazed at the lengths the developers have gone to to make this game so unenjoyable. Great attention to detail when it comes to cars and tracks, but games are supposed to be fun. Playing this feels like a punishment.

    Excellent game, but the problem is that it is always online, even for races and offline events.
    Post-race rewards have decreased forcing players to buy cars with microtransactions is a terrible point.

    Eine absolute Frechheit, ein so gutes Spiel so kaputt zu machen. Echt traurig

    Edit :Nachdem die Preisgelder wieder angepasst wurden, bin ich echt zufrieden.



    Jetzt noch mehr aktuelle Autos, ein paar Strecken und ganz wichtig der Online Zwang muss weg. Dann 10/10

    I'm reviewing my opinion because Poliphony Digital is backpaddling now and gave everyone 1000000 cr. for the trouble. They will launch a patch in April where they are suposadly fixing the economy and increase the payout of some races in 100%. I will return and increase score if they deliver.

    After the update, it’s too hard to make money. At the beginning, it’s not like this. This update makes me feel that this game just want me to deposit money. If I can go back to before I bought this game. I will keep playing GT Sport without buy this game.

    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.
