    I was looking forward to playing this game. Unfortunately, Polyphony and Sony have made it unplayable by making it nearly impossible to get cars without resorting to micro transactions.

It needs to be rolled back to ever see an increase in user score at a minimum.… Expand

    What a scam! Do not buy this game. They nerfed the all prizes so its impossible to get any of the best cars with playing your life away. So now its like they’re forcing you to buy credits. Here i am buying a whole sim setup (steering wheel, pedals, and chair for this game) for this game. preordered it sadly, and im not one to preorder anything but i had hope and excitement for this game.What a scam!

A lot of the rare and desirable cars can cost between 10-18 million credits. Playing optimally the fastest you can acquire credits is around 800k per hour so it can take you 20+ hours of running the exact same 3 lap race over and over again in order to buy 1 car. Keep in mind you need to also buy credits to tune, upgrade, buy wheels and even paint colors for your cars.

    You choices to have fun in this game is to either grind hundreds of hours like you are playing World of Warcraft or spend hundreds of real life dollars on micro transactions to buy credits.

    This game is also "always online". You can't even play the single player if you don't have an internet connection or Gran Turismo's servers go down. They were recently down for over 30 hours and you simply couldn't play the game. I also had my internet go down briefly in the middle of a 30 lap race and it instantly kicked me out of the game not saving my progress.

    I would highly recommend you look somewhere else if you want a racing game. I had thousands of hours in previous Gran Turismo games but I will never buy another one after this. Extremely disappointing.    … Expand

    Graphics are great, it's a ps5 game, so not that impressive. Grinding is extremely painful, after you complete the cafe. You are forced to get cars via microtransactions...

    Always online made game unplayable for 30 hours. Predatory microtransactions which were not provided to reviewers. Latest update has forced users to buy microtransactions unless you want to play for hundred of hours to get dream cars.

    Can't sell cars for ingame credit either. Horrible roulette system as well, i seem to always get the lowest tier reward.

I enjoyed the progress through missions and got a sense of accomplishment as new areas were unlocked. I wish there were more pages to explore and would love that to be part of future content updates. Single player must be online for some reason and server maintenance shutting the server down for more than a day only to come up with a terrible patch ruined the game. There seems to be some very short sighted upper management decisions that cut rewards for racing in half making it a massive grind to obtain credits and buy cars. This was a full price AAA game, I had no intention of paying more real money to buy cars to race. Give me a free game if you want to attempt this monetization model. The greed is glaring and the minimal spike they’re going to see in micro transactions will be lost ten fold when they try to release another game after this. My personal viewpoint is that they got my money for the game, they won’t get a dime for the micro’s and I won’t be buying future releases from polyphony if this isn’t fixed. I have no interest in playing at all in the games current state.… Expand

    Super grindy, maintenance update was around 30 hours and since this game is required to always be online, you CAN NOT PLAY offline with YOUR CARS that you bought or do the campaign or even go to your garage. MTX is brutal to the point of race payouts being worse than they were before and car prices staying the same. Most cars cost around $40 USD. Shameless...

    It feels like a free to play cell phone game. Super fast, free cars, roulette tickets, etc. Then as soon as you finish the menu books they stop giving our free cars, and stop giving out nearly as many roulette tickets.

    Comparing this game to GT Sport is embarrassing. Single player races reward 400k+ credits in GT Sport. In gt7? Good luck getting even 1/4 of that for any race....

    The cars cost way more. Paint and wheels cost credits instead of mileage points. And buying a car in GTS, if you wanted to use actual money, was sub $3. If you want to buy it in gt7? Sometimes hundreds of dollars. Or more... This is ridiculous.

    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.
