    for a $70 game, there should not be micro transactions anywhere near as high as they're in this game. it totally ruins the game. They really slowed down the progression so that you buy more microtransactions. Do not buy this game

    I love the presentation and racing so much. The graphics are great as well. I'm a PlayStation guy for life but I cannot condone the clear cash grab direction this game is taking. What is on offer without MTX is worthy of a 6 but nothing more due to post cafe racing being hampered so badly due to greed. The fanboys defending are pathetic

    Dissapointed is an understatement. Online only, Gamecore feels very true to the Series in general, but rewardmechanics and overall grind make this Iteration literally no fun at all. Not to mention downtime with no access to the Game during Maintenanceperiods. Shift and focus towards solely predatory MTX's enhance the overall lackluster and moot career experience (jeez, remember GT4?). GameDissapointed is an understatement.

    How can Sony sell a full priced game and then expect people to pay for upgrades using MTXs. Sony wants to double dip for a game that could have stood on its own and sold millions. This is the type of short term gain that EA and Activision played which routed their long-term trust with gamers. Sony why are you going on the same path, I though you were better than this.

Despite some growing pains I still feel were massively overstated (they never really push the mtx at all, enough money for every car you'll ever need is easy to come by if you put any effort into actually learning to drive), this game has become one of the best racers ever made. Certainly the greatest simcade experience (leaning pretty heavily into bhe sim these days, but still very playable with a controller). The new VR2 mode is a revelation also. Sim racing is blessed at the moment, now we just need a return of arcade racers that don't feel like ****… Expand

    This is an edit to a scathing review I made about how awful, uninventive and extortionate this game was for the first few months after release. I gave it a 0 out of 10 because it was a metaphorical spit in the face from the developers to the fans. All of the good reputation and high standards that Polyphony had set for the past 25 years, completely gone in just a few weeks.
    But now things    This is an edit to a scathing review I made about how awful, uninventive and extortionate this game was for the first few months after release. I gave it a 0 out of 10 because it was a metaphorical spit in the face from the developers to the fans. All of the good reputation and high standards that Polyphony had set for the past 25 years, completely gone in just a few weeks.
    But now things have changed.

    To start off, I want to say that unfortunately, Gran Turismo 7 has followed the infamous formula of modern game design: Release an online service game unfinished, add content in the following months and years to make it feel more finished, but don't forget to shill microtransactions.

    So what have they changed/added since the last review?

    Cars can now be sold

    More online events (including online time trial, which has a good payout if you get gold)

    Circuit experience gives you a very generous amount of money (Over 50m credits if you get gold on all tracks, which isn't too difficult for most of them)

    2 circuits and a few more layouts to existing tracks

    An extra set of missions (though there hasn't been a new one since April 2022)

    Races give a somewhat reasonable payout (although ~80% of the races are clearly not worth doing if you're just in it for the credits)

    Extra slots in the historic car garage

    They are adding VR support very soon

    With the addition of the Bugatti Chiron not requiring an invitation ticket (despite it being 3 mil), I think this could mean Polyphony are scrapping the invitation system for future high-end cars.

    General bug fixes/UI improvements

    They didn't punish people for doing the free engine ticket exploit which was nice I guess

    Now, here is what still hasn't been fixed/changed:

    Split screen is STILL BROKEN

    Changing the rolling start distance in custom races still doesn't work

    New offline races still use the god-awful long rolling start, where you start at the back and the guy in first is at least past the half-way point of the first lap

    Races that don't use Sophy AI are boring and predictable, the normal AI is so safe and cautious with their overtakes that they will usually get stuck behind much slower cars (even if on a wide track like SSR X)

    AI in custom races always default to using their standard tyres or their best-quality hard compound for some reason (except in dirt and rain). They NEVER use medium or soft unless that's their stock compound.

    Still can't customise menu music, also a shame that a lot of the good music from GT5 and GT6 got cut, even though some tracks from the same artist still remain?

    Custom race and online race payouts are still pathetic (I know you aren't supposed to play those modes for the credits but don't offer almost nothing instead of nothing, because then it feels like we should earn more)

    Rallying physics are still really bad and unsatisfying (although that was the same in GT Sport)

    Overall, it has got a lot better since my last review, but there is still many things to improve on before it becomes a great game like most of its predecessors.

    I had hoped that Sony were above the underhanded business tactics used by the likes of EA but sadly proven wrong. The game is 80% recycled content from the previous installment with a stronger emphasis on predatory microtransactions. The gaming industry is well and truly dead

    I have a playstation 5 and I played this game so I know what I'm talking about, I'm not a mere envious boxer who came here to give a low rating, this game is fantastic, a delight to play and enjoy the beautiful images of the scenarios, the cars are very good made the races well contested the physics is insanely good no wonder it's the best racing simulator there is, very good to be a real gamer.

    PSVR2 makes GT7 a whole new game. While I was really disappointed about the first days and weeks when this game was released, it now is my most favourite game ever. The immersion is massive, in my opinion it is worth buying the PSVR2 only because of this game.

    Predatory micro transactions. They want over 200 Euro for some cars. For a full price title this is a absolutly no go.

    The game itself is fun, but the backgrounds are very lacking and often doesn't look that good.

    After uninteresting releases in the franchise, GT7 promised to return to its roots, but unfortunately Polyphony's greed didn't allow it. The game has two major STRUCTURAL problems, that is, it is unlikely (not to say impossible) that they will be fully resolved.

    1 - The game can only be played online, even if you do NOT want to play online. Some people can even do basic races if they are not connected to the game server, but I (and several other players) have been blocked from accessing the game while their servers have been offline for more than 24 hours recently, that is, I paid for something but just didn't could play.

    2 - Broken reward system. The grind of the game is extremely difficult as the prices of the cars are VERY high, this would normally be fine if the rewards of the races were proportional, but this is not the case, on the contrary, the reward in credits (the in-game currency) was already far less than ideal, and recently released an update REDUCING these rewards. The reason for this is clear: making it more difficult to buy cars and in-game mods by forcing "non-hardcore" players to buy in-game currency with real money (yes, a fullprice game with EXPENSIVE microtransactions). The game director's justification is a legitimate joke with the players... "To give more realism (...) I don't want players to keep repeating the same race over and over again". Well, it seems that the solution found did not resolve your points raised.

    In short: do not buy now, it is possible that they will improve this situation a little in the future, and until then the price of the game should fall. It's sad to see a legendary franchise being disrespected by the creator himself. Greed is really something that increasingly haunts the gaming market.

    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.
