    Gameplay : 10/10 The way the game plays during the races is fun and challenging and one of the best to date.

    This game overall though is a big fat Zero due to car economy. Not enough credits for races, microtransactions do not help as some cars would cost $40 - 60 dollars for 1 car. That is almost the price of the game. Some care are time lock in that they can only be purchased under

    Do not waste your time with the current state of the game and play something else, unless you have 12+ hours a day to invest.

    Promising game ruined by microtransactions and DRM. Glad to see the community come together to denounce corporate greed though.

    Aucun amour pour la course automobile et encore moins pour les joueurs, tout pour le fric ! Campagne indigne d’un gran turismo, aucune vente de véhicules possible car encore une fois ça favorise leurs MT de merde

    Overall I'd suggest waiting for Sony to do the honourable thing, and fix the hugely unfair MTX and grind. The score reflects how this game makes you feel. (If MTX was fixed it would score an 8/10).

    If you intend to play them be warned, just as the game hooks you, the realisation that its like real life hits you. Meaning you'll want play with cars, and you can not afford them, nor try

    If you intend to play them be warned, just as the game hooks you, the realisation that its like real life hits you. Meaning you'll want play with cars, and you can not afford them, nor try out all the upgrades / tuning options.

    Shame on you Sony. To add a personal view, I bought a PS5 just to play this game - its the "exclusive" which made me choose a PlayStation. NEVER AGAIN. AAA games should never have MTX or cosmetic only MTX. Anything else logically diminishes the game in order to create a problem that players can solve for real world money. You choose to do this for an exclusive title, one that in the past has been a launch title multiple times.

    If anyone still wants more detail of the good and the bad, pro's and cons are below:

    Pro's
    -------
    * Very beautiful game, graphically superb in fact, especially if you have a 4k HRD screen. Races with day to night cycle have a fantastic feel.
    * Attention to detail is amazing. The tracks, cars, interiors, paint finishes, wheel rims etc are all lovingly recreated, with surprising detail.
    * Plays very well on the controller, with force feedback being detailed and immersive
    * Wet weather simulation is good, not the best, but looks great, and effects your car in a pretty realistic way - certainly enough to be fun

    Cons
    --------
    * Most expensive cars to date in a Gran Turismo series.
    * Most expensive cars upgrades to date in a Gran Turismo series.
    * MTX is the most expensive in history. Many cars costing upwards of £30, and the worst case is way over £200 - Are you completely out of your mind Sony?
    * Hardest grind for money to date for any active Gran Turismo game. THE absolute kicker here, was reducing the race prize pay outs AFTER the game was reviewed
    * One of the few Gran Turismo game where you can not sell cars you do not want. So if you're one of the few people to win a decent car and you don't like it - tough, no swapping it for you.
    * Roulette Tickets are a complete joke. Gives the impression of being random but see how often you avoid the smallest cash prize! Or win an "invitation" to buy a car, which is limited in time, and you wont be able to afford unless you have grinded the game to death already.
    * Multiplayer is still in development, and is evolving, so has fairly limited content
    * During maintenance periods due to DRM the only thing you can do is play music rally's. No off line mode for the single player campaign. (Makes no sense on the PS5 version at all)

    Never buying another GT Title ever again. Sony and PD are greedy bastards. 100 dollar game but they want 40 dollars per car!

    The amount of egregious microtransactions in this game is absolutely deplorable and has really strained my trust as a consumer with Polyphony. I expected them to make a masterpiece for their 25th anniversary, instead they've made a mockery of themselves for following the corporate norms. Shame on them, will be boycotting this game until the economy is revised.

    According to an article, cars are currently 800% MORE expensive than they were in GT Sport. That is saying something, because people were already complaining about MTX in that game which seem totally benign compared to this trash.

    Introduced scummy microtransactions incentivised by reducing the amount of ingame currency you get from actually playing the game with an update 2 weeks after launch, so they could get people to buy the game for 70$. Should be illegal.

    No to micropayment, when you already spend 100euros. This idea to think players are cash cow is scandalous

    A game that doesn't respect its players. Your time is meaningless and your only purpose is to pay as much as possible. Lower in-game payouts, increased challenge difficulty, online only single player - almost every feature of the game is designed to maximize microtransactions.

    Micro-transactions! Rigged roulette wheel, lowest prize Guaranteed (2k cr) even with a 6* ticket, EVERY-CAR in the game is overpriced, cant sell duplicate cars, race payout a joke, PP system EASILY abused, always on line BS..

    It pains me that this beloved franchise has turned into a quickcash grab for sony. As of the 1.07 patch, It's a 70$ pay to win scam of a game.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a game with a great base and potential to do amazing things, but with the obvious abuse of MTX and the double standards of attempting to reduce grinding but in the same breath make the game more grindy.

    GT7 still has the opportunity to fix their issues and regain the trust and the love of the community that it created over the years.

    Disappointing.

    First, I need internet connection to play singleplayer? Makes absolutely no sense. Second, decreasing our race rewards and making cars ridiculously expensive in game just so we'll spend money on microtransactions is so slimy. To grind for one of the most expensive cars in game, it would take around 350 races to get! Do better.

    This game has potential to be good but Sony and PD have decided instead to milk the fans for money because they know nostalgia sells many people bought this game expecting a gran turismo game and instead got the real credit card simulator

    TL;DR don't waste your money until the rest of the race series are implemented and the in-game economy isn't trying to force microtransactions.

    I've played Gran Turismo games all the way back to GT1 and have loved all of them except GT Sport (no single player experience to speak of). The portion of GT7 that's actually complete is great, but this is only a half game. The cafe missions

    I've played Gran Turismo games all the way back to GT1 and have loved all of them except GT Sport (no single player experience to speak of).

    The portion of GT7 that's actually complete is great, but this is only a half game. The cafe missions don't take long to complete and there's not much to do after that. There are no race series for the later license tests, a dead giveaway the game isn't actually finished and was rushed to release.

    The focus on microtransactions is bad enough for a $60+ major title, but the lack of later race series really takes away from the variety of the race grind. It's boring to repeat the same entry level races over and over.

    The V1.07 update significantly slashed the credit rewards for the most worthwhile races to grind. I'm not willing to spend extra money on a full price title I've been waiting for over 2 years to be released. I'm a lot less likely to spend any more time on this game until Polyphony Digital straightens out their botched release.

    Game launched on 4th of march midnight, 1.08 came out just over 2 weeks and 12 hours later, so it was not refundable after the payout nerfs. Sony killed this game just after a refund gap.

    this is not accidental, this is planned, and i don't think i'll own a GT game or PlayStation again

    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.
