You've left over 145,000,000 RU people in unable to play this game, Blocked all player purchases from buying or adding games to the PS Store library through the subscription service. For a second, a pre-paid subscription for 1 year! This is a real genocide and neglect of the huge fan base who bought PS 5 consoles just for this game. Now, even if you return to our country, no one wants to buy something, much less spend money on micro-transactions in this game. The game is very beautiful, I'm sure that it perfectly reveals the capabilities of the console. But we will never know this.… Expand

    Server down 24 hours and no significant update from dev. Speechless. No word to express my disappointment. If they still continue this weird always-online-for-career-mode style after this catastrophic failure, then they’re too dumb to take any lesson from this

    They reduced race payouts by 1/3 in order to force people to buy credits with real money. They did this after launch, this is nothing but a bait and switch and a scam!

    On top of this the game has very bad always online DRM.

    Avoid at all costs.

    For a full price game the move towards MTX after launch is unacceptable. NVM the online required connection the fact that we paid for a full game only to see it turn into a kind of mobile game economy where you have to continually invest in is beyond frustrating.
    The game itself is very good and enjoyable but the obvious push for MTX breaks the whole thing..

    Wow, this must be a bad joke. Always on is bad enough, the ingame prices were bad enough before Patch 1.07/1.08 but the statement of kaz is a punch in the face. I hate myself for preordering this game now and i am a fan of this series from Part 1. My heart hurts.

    I paid full price for this game but cannot play it. Offline single player mode doesn’t exist and currently online completely collapsed. You cannot easily own all the cars you want unless you pay for it. They somehow managed to mess this game up, it could have been a much better if the developer was not this greedy

Simply put, the game is not fun anymore. You cannot sell cars, and there are very few races available that pay a worthwhile number of credits, forcing you to replay the same race over and over again. Somehow they took the winning formula from the early games and made everything worse. In those games (GT 2,3,4) you were able to meaningfully progress with each race, and each car upgrade opened doors for more races, allowing you to feel like you were making your way up from the bottom in a racing career. In GT7, you're forced to collect dozens of reward cars that you won't ever drive or care about. Coupled with the rolling-start format of all the campaign races in which some of your opponents have a 30+ second lead, it just makes for a terrible single-player experience. I don't imagine this game will ever be fixed, since Polyphony has given in to greed and cynically tuned the game's mechanics to extract the most amount of money possible from players.… Expand

    Driving alone it the best in the series but the broken economy with focus on micro transactions (even more with patch 1.08) with fomo on top on that( the way legendary car market is designed). It's the gt with the lowest payouts in the series to date.

    Game totally geared around forcing the player in to micro transactions to get anywhere in the game. Payouts from races are so low and prices for cars so high that GT7 would need to be your full time job to purchase any of the higher end vehicles

It's been review bombed by Reddit users following maintenance on the server. Unfortunately an issue came up when the game was being updated which resulted in 2 hour maintenance turning into about 36 hours. Not ideal, but the alternative was the possibility of save data being corrupted if the more serious issue was not resolved, and I know what people would have complained about more.

    The other complaint is 'microtransactions'. Please be careful in trusting what you read in the negative reviews. I've seen comparisons to an FTP mobile game. This is nonsense. There is the option to add credits via microtransactions, but they there is absolutely no requirement to put in your real money to progress.

    There is a significant amount of entitlement from users review bombing the game, people want the rarest most expensive cars in their garage within days of buying the game. If you do too, then this might not be the game for you. You have to put in time to buy the best cars. As it should be in my opinion.

    People who remember playing early Gran Turismo's will know. You used to have to grind an oval track over and over again to tune your cap car, only to buy another crap car and start the grind all over again. In comparison, on GT7, I've got 750,000 credits in the bank, been gifted 40+ cars in my garage I haven't even used yet, and you get gifted cars to use in the next stage of each campaign so you don't even have to buy a new car when you move car class. I haven't had to buy a new car yet to progress. Not a single one. So if you see people saying "I've played all games in the series and this is predatory etc etc"... Ignore it, they're lying.

    Now onto the game. It's great, the racing is great, the feeling of the cars is great, the game looks absolutely brilliant. The only racing game where I can happily sit and watch the replays of every race I do. It has great tuning options and some nice modding options. Livery creation and sharing is fantastic, and the showcase photo mode is really nice to experiment with.

    If you like racing games and have played and enjoyed previous GT games then it'd worth getting. If you like racing games but want every car unlocked within the first fortnight of owning the game with minimal effort, it's probably not for you.

    My own complaint would be the length of the campaign currently. You can smash through it, and then just carry on with races that aren't part of the campaign or create your own races. If you like racing, like I do, that's fine, it's extremely enjoyable to play. If you need a campaign path for the game to stay relevant to you then again, this may not be for you. For now. I say for now, because they will be adding more content in the future. Maybe give it a year and revisit the game then to see what new content has been added to the game. Summary, ignore the ridiculously low user scores, they do not paint any sort of realistic picture about the game. If you just like racing and don't mind working towards earning new cars, then you'll love this game.

    If you want everything from the start and only want to race a few races to be able to afford the most expensive car in the game, then this won't be for you.    … Expand

    Drives like Gran Turismo, graphics are lovely, but as a game it is sooooooo bad. Clearly the design brief was "Get the player addicted, then periodically make the gameplay so annoying they will pay money to skip it." In other words, it's just a very expensive mobile-style money grab, constantly pushing the player into micro-transaction hell. Avoid at all costs.

    Horrible online-only requirement, even for the single player campaign. The game is completely useless unless their servers remain up. Also, they keep nerfing the ability to earn credits to force you into buying credits with real money.

    This is my first review on this site, this is how strongly I am annoyed at this game.
    I bought this game on launch to play. It's a racing game I played as a child and it seemed like a nice nostalgia trip. When I was in highschool I bought a used PS3 just to play this game! That's how much I loved it.
    My first few hours with the game where great. I had a great time, the racing was fun.    This is my first review on this site, this is how strongly I am annoyed at this game.
    I bought this game on launch to play. It's a racing game I played as a child and it seemed like a nice nostalgia trip. When I was in highschool I bought a used PS3 just to play this game! That's how much I loved it.

    My first few hours with the game where great. I had a great time, the racing was fun. The money was a tad grindy but really not bad for what I was needing the money for.

    I took a break due to life for a few days and an update came out. 1.06. "Sweet!" I thought to myself, there might be some new content or at the least bug fixes! I was wrong.

    1.06 broke licensing, the gateway to progressing the game. All rally license tests where swapped from dirt tires to road tires. I spent literally 4 hours trying to pass a test because it seemed ungodly hard (I already got the previous 2 rally tests done without an issue). Watching the example I couldn't do anything close to what they where doing and it was infuriating. Near the end of the 4 hours I said screw it, maybe someone online has something to say about how to do this and I'm just bad? After a quick google search I found the bug and that it was broken.

    So I put the game down and thought to myself, "I'll just wait for it to get patched."
    2 weeks later they release 1.07. "Sweet" I think to myself, they patched the issue that was stopping me from progressing!

    Turns out they also kneecapped the payouts to races. Which up to this point, EVERY TIME you get paid you get to see the "Top up balance" option under your money just reminding you to spend a little cash to progress faster! Which I didn't really mind as I didn't have to grind that hard to progress. And without grind the game wouldn't be as fun. But now you make money sometimes 50% slower than before. That's disgusting.

    TLDR: was a chidlhood fan, if they don't undo their greed I WILL NEVER purchase this game again. Adding to that, I will never purchase a playstation ever again, as this removes any desire I have to own one! And I'll stick to PC gaming. Where at least I can undo game breaking updates. which I've never experienced before this point in my life.

    P.S. If they undo the extra greed they did to payouts I'll give most of the points back. But a game breaking bug that doesn't get patched for weeks after launch is brutal for any game.    … Expand

    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.
