    This game is supposed to be the "The Real Driving Simulator", but it is way far from that. At first, when the game was released, it was so bad at the driving part, the rest was beautifully crafted, as many call it "a love letter to cars".

At first, when the game was released, it was so bad at the driving part, the rest was beautifully crafted, as many call it "a love letter to cars". Then the updates came, and driving was a bit better until the 1.13 patch came, which ruined it from any aspect of driving. I played many simulators and no one is as bad as this one. It is so frustrating to know that they could make this game work well, but they simply didn't. It is no use for a game like this to look so beautiful if driving is so awful. I have never met a game in which a RWD car would act like a FWD (GR3 cars after update 1.13).
    Also, one bad thing is that PD made this game work really good for controller users, but they didn't adapt driving for wheel users.
    I played this game from the release and I regret spending so much money on a game that was released way too soon when it had so many problems and many of them are still present today.
    I really hope they will fix it, but I doubt it. I say this because PD seems to want to sell more than giving a good game, which might be hard to play, but please the real enthusiasts of real driving, not this arcade nonsense. It is far away from how good and stable was GT Sport. It is a shame that this game is so great in all aspects other than driving.    … Expand

    I have been playing the GT series for many years starting all the way back in the PS1 era and progressing as they have been released. I have to say, this one has disappointed me the most.

    Visually, the game is stunning. Cars, scenary and weather effects are incredible. Audio wise the game is also doing a great job. Now comes the negative. The game simulates driving realistically    I have been playing the GT series for many years starting all the way back in the PS1 era and progressing as they have been released. I have to say, this one has disappointed me the most.

    Visually, the game is stunning. Cars, scenary and weather effects are incredible.
    Audio wise the game is also doing a great job.

    Now comes the negative.

    The game simulates driving realistically but doesn't simulate cars very well. A few examples

    F Type Jag, a rear wheel drive car that in Gran Turismo under steers at 30MPH and understeers on full lock with your foot down. I would argue doing this in real life would leave you with a tail happy car spinning in circles :)
    Most of the Mazda models in this game are from a generation with G-Vectoring in real life which have very well balanced steering but again, suffer badly from understeering.
    Ironically, most of the Audi's in this game don't suffer from understeering :)

    Now, I know this might seem rather pedantic to pick up on a car not being 100% realistic but when you factor in how much Polyphony want if you were to purchase these with microtransactions, I would argue the cars should be designed to feel as realistic as possible (or atleast the expensive ones). Most of the cars I drive in this game suffers from under steer (this is with the traction control off and not using brakes around a corner) and all feel very samey to me. For me, I found the cars in this game only really differ on how quickly they go.

    Then there is the move to nerf in-game payouts just after the critical reviews were released, this was a delibirate attempt to boast the quality of the game and then make it nearly unplayable without paying real life money for the vehicles. The story mode is the same as most of the more recent Gran Turismo's, rather fun but not very long or enjoyable. I much preffered the story of GT3 to be honest.

    Since GT7 has now bumped the payouts back up since the onslaught of angry fans I will rate this 5/10. 10/10 for Audio and Visual, 5/10 for gameplay and 1/10 for being anti-consumer with their actions.

    Overall, I feel the game could have had far more single player content and feels like a GFX enchanged version of GT6. The multiplayer is ok but if you are interested in Multiplayer, I would stick with GT Sport (it's pretty much the same).    … Expand

How are So many important manufacturers absent? How are So many great cars absent? How is simulating the inability to obtain your dream car in real life supposed to be a joyful experience? These dream cars are already unobtainable in my simple working class existence. I used to play games to escape from the mundane and forget that I was a loser in life. Now, thanks to GT7, I get to perpetuate my mundane existence digitally as well. It's so fun buying an economy class grocery getter, and dreaming of one day bolting on enough stupid parts that I can place 5th to Sophy. Speaking of the AI, why does every race force me to start in 20th place? I can't get a qualifying lap? Sophy, so brilliant Sophie, superhuman Sophy, needs me to start 20th......and then somehow cleanly pass her 19 times in the hopes of earning 50% more credits than already were not enough credits to ever afford a Paganni. Nope, all I can afford is maybe a panini. Just like my real loser life. This isn't Gran Turismo....it's the Grand Tragedy. Oh and should I finally grind away long enough to have 12,000,000 credits, I also have to suffer the indignity of the invite. Money isn't even enough, I have to be deemed worthy of an invitation to purchase some of these things. Talk about art imitating life. Then we have the roulette wheel thing. Just like in GT Sport, this stupid thing will award you stuff you already have. That's not a reward. Winning a duplicate SIMULATED item which you can't even sell for credits is simply another way of insulting you. So I received an invitation to buy the Carrera GT I did. Then, same day, I won the stupid car after completing the final championship race. Here's a tip. Fix it so the game will never reward you a car which you've already acquired. Since we can't sell anything, seems logical not to be forced to stable duplicate copies of fake things. I feel like the people making the decisions about how to handle cars and credits are so far removed from where the minds of players are. None of us want to pay more real money for fake cars. It's dumb. Actually it's simply greedy, since obviously nobody at polyphony is dumb. Out of touch yes. Dumb no. Greedy most likely yes.… Expand

    Nice looking game. Still prize money for competing is poor. Prizes you win on the lottery are pathetic 49 times out of 50 you win the worst prize. Sport online racing is a joke. A four lap race with medium slick race tyres and literally zero grip after the first lap. After one lap it is like driving on ice. Pathetic. Really don't feel like putting any effort in to keep playing.

    I have to give props to Polyphony and Sony for actually listening to the players and seeing that their greedy tactics of lowering the credits won via races weren't going to be accepted and they've raised most race payouts. There is a few enjoyable races now that pay over 80k+ credits which is nice. The cars are still too expensive and MTX is still a little to prevalent but once the grind seems at least okay then I can accept that.

    I can't however give the game anything more than a 6/10 because of two features. Always online and always rolling starts. The always online won't go away because Sony want to force updates on you and keep the push for MTX. I know they won't change this though so no point even complaining, they want it to be a live service. If that is the case then don't charge full price.

    Almost all races are rolling starts, this is to hide the fact the AI just aren't intelligent enough to create an engaging and challenging race from the grid so the game creates a faux challenge with 25-45 second rolling starts. This turns the game from the real racing simulator the the real chasing simulator. Chasing cars isn't racing. If I could have one thing changed it would be to have the game take away rolling starts (except for a few mission challenges) and create a proper racing system. One that makes you do a qualifying time trial to determine your place in the grid then have a race that starts on the grid.

    Maybe, they'll change this. I'm not sure but I can't get on board with the modern AAA method of releasing half a game at full price and then releasing the rest over time in updates.

    I really enjoy this game and see myself playing it for years, I'm even considering getting a driving sim rig to enjoy it more. The cars feel amazing, the graphics are mind-blowing (some scapes look like actual pictures), the community is great with decals, liveries, suits etc. (even though we need an app like GT Sport) and the overall game is fun and pretty addictive. But this is Gran Turismo, this should be perfect but it has some big problems holding it back.    … Expand

    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.
