    Update resolved all the issues I had with the game. Very positive that the devs are listening to the community, I will be playing this game for years to come.

    Great game as of v1.11 and shows that Polyphone understood they made a mistake and are rectifying it - in terms of gameplay and the current state of the game it is great and the game has a bright future ahead of it!

    Decepcionante en una palabra.
    Micropagos, servidores que no funcionan durante horas, salto gráfico para nada espectacular...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So...as you can see from the other reviews microtransactions and always online are ever so present in this game and it obviously brings about some very unfavorable feelings. The actual game though like playing it is pretty spectacular. Great tuning options and courses and layouts are sweet. Weather is so nuce too. But PD and Sony really are going to regret what theyve done with this game...a lot of longtime fans are giving up on it. Deservingly so. Servers are currently down for who knows what...but hey KoFXV just shadow dropped DLC...so more time for that now. :) Also gtplanet forums have some dope memes about the mess this is. And...a ton of ppl arguing on the internet too...so...yea...… Expand

    Find Your (Off) Line

    Good points= Realistic Graphics,wet weather handling,the same as previous Gran Turismo's tbh

    Bad points= There was alot of hype about the weather and how great the clouds were, but the elephant in the room is unless you are driving using the in car view you cant see it starting,stopping or actually raining at all. If you use any other view you can hear the rain and notice the track getting getting darker in colour but you cant see any rain failing so if you play with the volume low you suddenly find the car sliding about. If you look to the left bottom side of the screen theres a icon showing how much standing water is on the track. To be fair once theres a lot of water on track you can see puddles. Other games have done the weather effects better on previous gen consoles. For a nex gen ps5 console game it looks like to much time was focused on the cars looking great and everyone forgot to notice that playing using any view but in car that no rain could be seen failing. Apart from the graphics overhaul,sound improvement, tweaked handling, the game seems stuck in a time loop and hasn't moved on. At present the servers are down and because you need a online connection it can't be played properly.
    Not enough cars, more expensive to buy the cars, trying to get you to buy real money in game credits to progress. Cut down amount of one player races. The cars can't be sold like on previous GT etc
    A missed opportunity tbh considering how big a budget, how big the resources are of the developer it could of been so much better.
    Im old enough to be around when GT1 was originally launched and it was ground breaking at the time and over versions and time it improved. ive spent thousands of hours playing all the GT games and i hate to say it but im disappointed considering i bought the ps5 because GT7 only months away from coming out.
    I remember when Driveclub was released and it was down scored because of the sheer demand for the game the servers would crash, but at least the one player game was still playable if you didn't have a internet connection. Talking of Driveclub id say the weather effects are still better the GT7 at present.    … Expand

    Coming from GT5, which was generally lacklustre for me, I hoped that GT7 would fare better.

    There have been great improvements in graphics and sound (finally!) of the cars, and the game has a nice selection of well detailed cars.

    However, the prices for cars, coupled with low payouts and the inability to sell any unwanted cars, shows that the game was built with microtransactions in mind (no surprise then, that these were also revealed at launch).

    Access to desired features (GT Auto, Brand Central) was curiously sandbagged until much later in the game, which to me, only serves to add to the difficulty of play for the first few hours.

    On top of that, within the span of two weeks, the game has been unable to run properly, with now two significant updates to fix bugs. Moreover, it's presently unplayable even in singleplayer, due to errors with servers and the fact that even singleplayer MUST be online.

    Overall, this had the makings of a great game, but at nearly $90 for the Anniversary Edition and $60.00 for standard, being unplayable/non-functional after only two weeks of being out? Look elsewhere.    … Expand

    The servers are terrible, the maintenance are a mess, you can't play if you are offline and the most important issue is that in game credits are nerf to incentivate players to pay real money for them.

    Te compras el juego, te gastas 70 u 80 euros, se caen sus servidores y te fastidias tú. Para más guasa cuando vuelven han restado créditos a las recompensas para fomentar el uso de los micro pagos. Una broma pesada. Éste no es el camino.

    Predatory Micro-transactions, loot boxes, cars are too expensive and not always available to buy even if you have the money. Basically online all the time and no real career mode. Over-all poor execution from a trusted company. Shame.

    The game is good but the problem is the MT. If you want to progress and to buy cars, you need to pay with real money and it's a really big problem. Without talking about the 2 days maintenance of the game without compensation ...

    The gameplay itself is pretty nice - fun cars and an overall enjoyable casual driving sim. You can tell some people on the team really love cars and wanted to make a good game.

You can tell some people on the team really love cars and wanted to make a good game. However this game has been ruined by multiple unforced errors. I can’t possibly recommend the game at any upfront price in its current state. First, the required internet connection at all times is disruptive for those of us only interested in single player. The game has been completely inaccessible for over 24 hours at the time of this writing as the developer struggles with a server outage. Insane! Second is an unusually greedy microtransaction system. After a very short series of single player tasks, it becomes very difficult to earn enough to acquire more cars without a massive time grind. The economy was already broken, but the developer introduced a patch to make it even worse! This is something you might expect from free-to-play shovelware, but not from a full-price game pushed heavily by Sony. Unfortunately given my experience with this game so far, I can’t trust this developer to act with integrity and would strongly recommend avoiding this title.… Expand

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

    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.
