    Incredibly boring unskippable cutscene at the beginning that you literally have to manually disable in order to get to the game.

Stylistic choices for the menus/hub are lame, boring, irritating; the music is the worst in the series seeing as they were too cheap to get any licensed music whatsoever. The personal assistant dialogue/character interactions are uninspired and needless, they’re just annoying and get in the way of gameplay. Oh but wait, the gameplay is now ruined because race payouts are incredibly cheap compared to the prices of cars/components, making the game a boring slog in which you can’t even drive the cars you actually want to drive without wasting your life grinding away for credits. By the way, why the hell is the chase camera static? You can’t even move the camera to the sides to get a look at your car/your surroundings. I hate this game, Sony stole $70 from me and I will never play this garbage again. Buy Forza Horizon 5 instead of you can. Expand

    10 year wait and this is what we get….
    Greedy basteerds, their latest update made an already underwhelming game even worse. Not in your life would I buy credits. I think they are going to have a hard time making this up to their loyal fan base. I dont think i would buy another title after this. And i have every game up till now, constant disappointment with this series every release since 3

    Shame on Sony and PD for letting their greed ruin what could have been a great game. Reducing credit payouts for races and the roulette is rigged to only give the lowest value prize. Forcing microtransaction after already paying $90 CAD for a full game. No chance I'd pay more money for credits.

    In patch 1.07 Polyphony just made it harder to earn in-game credits by reducing race rewards in hope to force people to pay real money for it…

    I mean come on… with most of the money grab decisions from Sony this generation, this is still a new low. I am just gonna stop playing GT7 and go back to Horizon 5…

    $70 for a game and they force you to play online and force you to do microtransactions. Haven’t companies learned that people hate that?

    Greedy micro transactions spoil everything! This game will shame you off its dealerships for being poor and unworthy of your desires in cars. Just look don’t touch, unless you cough up more real money. Real life has less snobbery than this game. Pretentious idiots.

    The developers had something going, they rode the momentum into a brick wall and made it worse than Gran Turismo Sport.

    These game is in some ways like a bad joke...
    Graphics isn't PS5 at all, game look's like GT Sport on PS4. And rain... You can see rain only from inside a car so they added a grip bar that show you on what condition you are driving - nice job dev.

    Price of cars, especially in classic showroom... I think like i bought a game where is a lot of cars that i can see only in showroom but not be able to drive, because i don't want to spend thousands hours on grinding.
    And when you forgot that polyphony screwed you, there is always a roulette where you always win a worst possible price. These algorithm should be sell by polyphony to jackpot machines makers - good job!
    btw
    In Poland we have nice name for these jackpot machines - one-hand bandit. And these name for me is a synonym to Polyphony Digital and their Gran Turismo 7.
    Think twice before buying!

    Streetcars with FR and Race Tires Soft are not driveable like in Gt Sport,
    in GT7 the front gets too much grip with rs tires the car spins automaticaly. Please Polyphony fix streetcars with race tires.

    The fact that SONY did not keep its advertising promises and then (after the first reviews appeared) introduced microtransactions and finally reduced the amount of credits that can be earned by playing the game is for me serious betrayal of the players.

    Even though Sony now tries to calm down the community with promised future patches, I believe that just the try to betray the players this way is absolutely not acceptable! For me the trust in Sony as a publisher is gone and the brand Gran Turismo is burnt. This should and will not be forgotten!

    I grew up with GT, it helped shape my love for cars. The game has a lot of what i remember and love. The thing that kills me and brings my score, is you have to spend more money to get cars. Its a terrible layout. Not worth your time! you are better off not even looking at the game for what it is now.

    我對 GT 7 非常失望 , 決定退出表示抗議 , 就算每天重覆玩同一跑道也買不起任何車 .

    $70 for a game littered with microtransactions? Always online, then they reduce the winnings from races to force you to use real money for cars. This is completely unacceptable and Sony needs to know this. Hit them where it hurts, don't support trash like this.

    This game has so much potential. I am glad PD has listened to the community about payouts, however they have been completely silent on the always online aspect. It should never be a requirement to be online in a single player game. Twice after the 30 hour shutdown, I have been unable to play due to maintenance.

    I was also able to complete the café missions within 5 play sessions, and now the only thing to do is to spend hours replaying sectors of tracks in Circuit Experience. This is hardly a campaign.
    Why has true racing vanished too? Every race is a catch-up mission with the first place car starting half way around the track. I would like to win on merit, not by being able to catch them.

    For a game that's about car fantasies, you will also need to get a real-life loan in order to purchase in-game credits to be able to buy the game's cars in any reasonable timeframe. Want that new McLaren? That'll be £175 in real money or a 1200 race grind.

    Worst racing game ever. They used to be a great icon in the world of racing games, but they took too long to return to want the crown again, without a doubt Forza is light years apart.

    Honestly this game is way to greedy , even most of the trophies (achievements) are tied with extremely expensive cars ,which either take insane amount of grinding or insane amount of real world money. For me the game is great (even though it lacks content for the time being) but the way it does NOT reward you for the time , is a reason of its own to never touch the game

The game feels like a full-priced free-to-play title where you have to choose between very long grind or microtransactions. It's the worst Gran Turismo game of all time with the worst AI ever existed in a racing game. Online races are also lacking many crucial features from GT Sport. This game is just built around micro-transactions. Expand

    Poor graphics, poor controls, pay to win. 650 cars in Gran Turismo 2 back in the 90s and now we have a game 23 years later that you have to PAY REAL MONEY for most of the good ones? Give me a break, gamers deserve better! I love Gran Turismo 1-4 but this new direction the series has taken is appauling.

    The game is a scam and sony crossed a line. They changed the amount of credits you earn for races to make sure it takes hours upon hours to buy a single car. They cheated costumers by giving reviewers a version of the game with no micro transactions and better earning races, then flipped the switch when it came time to monetise. This game doesn’t deserve your money.

    Judging by « professional » reviews it seems really nice that we are charged for both exorbitantly priced game and ludicrously priced micro transactions.

    If this is a road where Sony studios are heading, good luck and count me out.

    Total lack of content, a lot of extremely annoying things.. the simulation and feel is excellent, just everything they built around it is awful - give us a game! And not months after release, unless you want my money months after the purchase.

    Latest update made it unplayable. Servers down and you cannot play!?! It is down for 24 hours already. Then price money cut in half. So you have to buy credits with real money which are very expensive.... It is a shame even for current microtranactions standards

    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.
