    Always on is really **** when the servers are down…
    Also the micro transactions are really a greedy move.
    It’s ok for polyphony to earn money, but not on that way…kinda sad that all the good studios/publishers are going to the evil side.

    Lack of new content compared to GT sport. Terrible progression sorry mode (cafe). In game currency is atrocious. Roulette gives you parts for cars you can’t afford or don’t own. Menus continue to be over complicated.

So many negative points I can bring up but I honestly haven't got the time or heart to bring up each negative point

    You have to progress the game in a very precise order, also forced to go in and out of coffee shop, go to race, check restrictions, get back to garage and tunning to prep the car, get back to race place, annoying 10 screens you have to go back and forward

    I didn't even know until today that I have to play 30.000 races to get all the cars and the list is mainly sad. 300 cars when you used to have 1000... Micro transactions filled game in order to complete it

    You can't play single mode when servers are offline

    Graphics and performance are not better on ps5 vs a gt sport ps4. This is not by any chance a next gen game

    Company didn't respond at all in an ongoing 26 hours downtime with any update, showing how much they care about you, the customer A sad shadow of what the game was, and at 90 euro, currently not worth even 2 euros. The most expensive game in the history is the worst to play    … Expand

    If you also want to play split-screen forget about it. It is even worst than GT Sport. The second player cannot change any assists, change any controller and the car is always slower even when you put all the assists back on for player 1, also there is no AI that can be added to the race even on the PS5 version. Launching the split-screen mode like this just to say there is couch coop is a disgrace and should not even be included in the game in the current state, which I guess will never be updated.    … Expand

    Not playable due to online obligation. Reducing the credits and making so many ads for MicroTxns is a disgrace. Do not buy, get your refund and let them know they will not get through with this. Last GT for me.

    Scummy cash reward nerfs to push players towards spending money in a $70 game. Always-online to play makes even the single player career mode unplayable for almost a whole day now due to extended server maintenance.

    I heard patch 1.07 was coming and hoped that would resolve the issue however that patch seems to have knocked out the game altogether and it won’t even open - This is affecting all users and has been going on for over 24 hours.

    Polyphony have been shambolic over the last 24 hours, in which time they have undergone a 2-hr maintenance period, which has been extended for an unknown duration, meaning you basically can't play the game at all (don't even mention the lame mode that does still work). They have failed to update their customers during this period which is simply not acceptable.

    This game is a full-priced one, yet they are treating it like they've used an F2P model. Congratulations on getting a step closer to becoming EA.    … Expand

    I’ve not been able to play this $100 for two days now. Why on earth is single player (basically offline) mode requiring us to have a constant internet connection? And then just to really screw with us servers are down for maintenance constantly (and almost two days this current time), which in Australia is at a really annoying time when you might want to play the bloody game!

    This Gran Turismo is embarrassing!
    It’s embarrassing to sell a stand alone game with career unplayable offline: not everyone can/wants to play online so how to justify his purchase?
    No real step ahead after 25 years, this is definitely the worst Gran Turismo I ever seen.

    Disgusting practises by Sony. Their first party games are already the most expensive in the industry now, but they have released a patch that almost forces you towards Microtransactions. They cut most in-game rewards.

    Plus the game is ALWAYS ONLINE. The game has been down as of writing for near 24hrs & we can't even play single player.

    I‘m out! Started a long time ago with GT2 on my PS1 and played GT3, GT4 and GT Sport. With GT7 the series is coming to an end for me. I will not buy it. Of course, graphics are great as always. But they have been awesome since GT3. This is not the main reason for playing a new Gran Turismo anymore. At least not for me. More important is now gameplay and game structure.

Of course, graphics are great as always. But they have been awesome since GT3. This is not the main reason for playing a new Gran Turismo anymore. At least not for me. More important is now gameplay and game structure. And here we are: I don‘t pay 70 Euro just for slightly better graphics compared to GT Sport. So what is with the rest of the game? Is it worth it? In my opinion it is not. One main reason is the in game currency. It has been there ever since GT entered gaming but nowadays they want you to pay real money to get enough in game credits. So if you are like me and neither have the time to grind endless hours for some virtual cars and upgrades nor want to spend additional money for in game stuff that has already being purchased within the game price (70 Euro), what will you do? I say: don‘t waste any money and don‘t waste any time for a dirty business practice. Yes, I know. GT Sport has had microtransactions as well. But they were not as aggressive. Now earning in game credits has become harder to simply force someone into paying real money for it. I will not support this. Update 18.03.22: With a new update they made it even harder to earn in game credits (only half of the old in game price money for won races).
    Some other aspects leading to my decision to not buy the game:
    - after GT Sport came without classic GT circuits there are now only a few of them back in GT7. Some of the all time fan favorites are missing again
    - Rain and daytime effects are finally there but - again - not available on every track
    - again no damage model for the cars
    - the online mode with three daily races is the same as it was in GT Sport. Zero innovation.
    - last but not least the publisher decided to not offer the game to Russian players because of Russias war against Ukraine. What has this to do with someone in Russia who want‘s to play a PlayStation game? I don’t go along with this kind of collective punishment.    … Expand

    You need to be online all the time even for the single player content. The in-game economy is bad, you barely earn any credits and the cars are way more expensive than in the previous games. Everything is done to push you to use micro transactions to buy cars (limited availability, time restrictions, invitations required to buy some cars, etc).

    Great game, with microtransactions at first, which was understandable since most people work and don't have that much time to play.

    ...But they screwed up with the latest update. It's now a grindfest. Shame that i got the game two days before the last update, went from a 10/10 to regretting the buy.

    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.
