    Always on connection even for single player. Outrageously priced cars in some cases, with continual reduction of race payouts, trying to force microtransactions. No real campaign/story mode. What a shame.

    Say hello to another game that ruined its economy just after the launch/review window for the sake of microtransactions.

    I used to love the series. It did some questionable choices for the sake of money as far back as GT5 (selling single use paints as DLC, for instance), but it was never egregious, certainly nothing like today's games can get. GT7, however, already started out as mean
    Say hello to another game that ruined its economy just after the launch/review window for the sake of microtransactions.

    I used to love the series. It did some questionable choices for the sake of money as far back as GT5 (selling single use paints as DLC, for instance), but it was never egregious, certainly nothing like today's games can get. GT7, however, already started out as mean with its rewards (chiefly the roulette spins that just happen to give you the lowest reward 90% of the time), and with the latest patch, they turned the game into a total grindfest that also tries to tug on your FOMO strings (e.g. the system of invitations: brief windows to buy expensive cars you most likely can't afford)... unless you'd like to buy some in-game currency *nudge* *nudge*

    I badly regret buying this game. I'd love a refund, but after two weeks of playing daily, I doubt I'd get it (PSN is notorious for being stingy with those at the best of times)

    Always online? With this last “maintenance on the servers” it have been prove that is a very bad idea for a single player game. I hope they rethink about the pay for the races and stop being greedy with the micro transactions. The game is average good, but this issues make it far worse than other games.

    I am really speechless about this game. I bought this game last week and since then it was nothing but disappointment for me. I am saddened to see a great franchise is in this situation. Not recommending it at all. Sorry.

    Bought the game for almost 100 EUR and was excited for another GT as I played the series since part 1 on the PS1.
    But several things are frustrating:
    - always online game only: If the servers or you are offline you can basically do nothing - you have to unlock everything (also multiplayer) - you earn only a low amount of credits while most cars costs a **** of money - the ticket

    - you have to unlock everything (also multiplayer)
    - you earn only a low amount of credits while most cars costs a **** of money
    - the ticket roulette is basically a piss take. You get shown some cool stuff like cars and parts. But almost all the time you only get cash, and then only the lowest possible amount (5000 credits)
    - game tries to force you to buy credits with real money with tactics like FOMO (some tickets will grant you the ability to buy a very expensive car for a short amount of time)

    And also, GT7 looks like it's a 95% copy/clone of GT Sport.

    It almost seems like Poliphony and Sony are trying to steal money from their loyal fanbase and try to milk their cows until they are empty.

    With all the flaws and misconceptions currently in the game, I give a 3 of 10.

    If things are changed for the better, then I am more than happy to change my review and score.

    Then worst of all is that the core racing game itself is actually good!! BUT it has been almost completely RUINED by yet more shady, predatory, greed fuelled policies from yet another shady, predatory & greedy corporation. Thanks for destroying Gran Turismo Sony.

    The people who worked on developing this game clearly poured their hearts and souls into it. It really shows. But all of that means NOTHING if every time I play the game I feel like I am playing a 'free to play' MOBILE GAME!!!

    I checked the PS Store product description and NOWHERE in that information does it say that ANY SINGLE PLAYER CONTENT is reliant on a persistent internet connection to a server. NOWHERE. That's false advertising and is surely grounds to override Sony's archaic "refund policy"

    Hello from Russia!

    The pre-order of the limited edition was canceled, the game was removed from sale in Russia, but it's even better. The single player game requires a constant internet connection, microtransactions in the game are beyond good and evil, and the latest update has made it even harder to earn credits. I don't recommend this game to anyone with a bit of self-respect.

    4- sub par graphics nothing even close to Forza 5 and Forza was open world. PS5 should be as powerful and expected to match the graphics in Forza. seems like this game is rushed.
    5- Fast loading but so much menus and annoying unskippable conversations that adds unnecessary time.

    So for this been my worst GT experience. specially if you don't have much tie to play and most of times you want to play the game its not playable due to server issues.

    Game is unplayable while offline and the dev team has cut winnings in half post launch to pressure players to spend money on micro transactions.

    GT player since PS1 times here, I'm hugely disappointed in GT7. Already asked for a refund due to false advertising (they advertise you can sell cars...). Such focus on micro-transactions in game that expensive is a scam. Total lack of communication from PD during the extreme server outage - why does it prevent single player? This is just a predatory design focused solely on micro-transactions.

    Online only for a predominantly single-player game...

    why?

    so that you have no chance at hacking your game to give yourself in game credits. All to protect their absurd GaaS microtransaction business model.

    what a gross f2p mobile game approach to a full priced AAA game.

    The Story via the cafe is short and barely made enough money to buy even a fraction of the total cars available… let alone any of the “legendary” cars Awards are given for completion of each cafe quests but the game always dishes out the lowest reward… which then goes on to bait you into purchasing in game credits from the store. The licence races for rally cars is broken and is near impossible to acquire gold due to the fact the game equips rally cars with road tyres… which can’t be changed. This game has truly turned into a pay to complete game.

Prime example as to why the always online thing is a bunch a bulls*** and shouldn't exist. On top of that the update is 100% proof they are trying to force the sales of microtransactions. Sure cut the payout in half if not more for most events in the game and not expect an outlash!

    The game was great to play for the past 2 week, but now that the developers have made it clear that the game is a pay to win, buffed the farming races, and simply shat on the player base…

    Anyways, another great title ruined by the current video game business model. I don’t think I’ll keep playing (or « wasting » my time) grinding for things that can be bought at once again absurd prices.

    Here to contribute to the review bomb. It WOULD be a great game if it weren't shamelessly ramming microtransactions down your throat at every turn. They need to change a LOT of things involving the game's economy to turn this disaster around.

    Be aware that this is an online only game. Even if you aren't racing online, you need to contact the GT7 servers to play. If the game's company shuts down the servers, you will no loger be able to play. The game also has microtransactions to buy credits for new cars. This model isn't good for a $70 game. I don't recommend it.

    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.
