    I never expected to sink into Gran Turismo. I bounced off GT Sport, but there's something special about the new edition. The form, progression, and driving experience that keeps me playing.

    Great visuals, very highly polished by a developer who knows what they're doing in that respect, even if everything does look a bit too... shiny for my tastes, I can't argue with the fidelity on show here. The cars handle really well too - at its' core, it has everything a really decent driving sim needs.

    But the menus and user experience is horrendous. As in proper, bafflingly bad.

    But the menus and user experience is horrendous. As in proper, bafflingly bad. And because of the way the game is designed you are constantly in this menuing system almost as much as on the track, if not more, so it's a complete killer in terms of how enjoyable the experience is.

    Add to that very limited free play options - you can't design your own races or just pick from the selection of cars and... well, race. In a racing game. And then add to that an always online requirement for single player and hideous microtransactions that inevitably lead the game design to feature hefty grind mechanics and... well, you have a ball that has been well and truly dropped here.

    This should have been great. It isn't. And that's a crying shame. As said, the racing itself is fine - good even - but there's many more games, even within the GT series itself, which does it just as good, if not better, without having to deal with the maddening nonsense that surrounds it in GT7.

    Wait for a hefty sale or get it second hand.    … Expand

    I am a PlayStation fanboy and yet I am not satisfied by the game's graphics. Why is the game environment details as well as general graphics exactly like last GT game. These developers should have gone for a better looking game.

    The best racing game after the Gran Turismo 4! Plenty of single player content, amazing online mode, unsurpassed driving feel, fantastic sound and a great DualSense!

    As a former Gran Turismo fan I'm highly disappointed. The progression is significantly slower than in any Gran Turismo before and the AI is abysmal. There are 420 cars which can cost up to 20,000,000 credits. If you win a 30 minute race it will reward you only 10,000 credits! Buying just a decent car for like 200,000 credits takes multiple hours grind, legendary cars even more than 100As a former Gran Turismo fan I'm highly disappointed.

Buying just a decent car for like 200,000 credits takes multiple hours grind, legendary cars even more than 100 hours - or up to $200. I guess that's the main reason for the ultra slow progression : Microtransactions. In GT:Sport you could buy a premium car for 3,000,000 credit after a few hours of grind or $5. The same car in GT7 will require dozens of hours of grind or a whopping $30.

    That's just insane for a $70 game with a focus on singleplayer. I can't recommend such greediness in any way.    … Expand

    I feel like I must have bought a different game to everyone voting negatively?
    You buy cars with in-game credits, you earn credits with in-game races, just like always. The only microtransactions I see are to buy extra credits, if you don't want to buy them; don't!

    As for needing to be online, I never actually noticed this, but then again, I always am online so I guess this could negatively affect some people, but certainly not most.
    Can't play this game in Russia? ha, good!

    Anyway, now onto the game.
    It actually has a different career format to previous games, it kind of forces you to do specific races to win specific cars. I wasn't the biggest fan at first, I liked having a wider variety of races/championships to choose from instead of a more linear path. However, it grew on me, it meant I had to drive different sorts of cars, in different sorts of conditions.
    Another side was short races that resulted in winning a car, you win a race, and get a car? Seems a little mad, but honestly it's great for those people who love collecting cars, and there is a lot of focus on that in this game! There's a new feature of earning collectors points, which add up every time to win or purchase a car, so there's clearly a lot of emphasis on it!
    The tuning shop it brilliant, I always enjoyed tuning up cars in previous games, and this time round it feels even better, especially with being able to feel the changes made whilst driving, given the response from the haptic-feedback controllers.
    Livery customisation is great fun! You can design yourself a sleek, subtly faded colour design for your car, or go all-out on decals and create a crazy looking racing machine (or a 180mph billboard plastered with a ton of advertisements and brands if you so desire).
    Short one on the tracks and the cars themselves. These are great. Nothing more to add, they are just great!
    Graphics look incredible too!

    Overall it's a fantastic game, and I would say all the negatives to it are either nitpicking, or very situational. Definitely worth picking up, even if the price may be off-putting for some, perhaps games wouldn't be so expensive if we all didn't love them so much?    … Expand

    This game brings back the original essence of Gran Turismo. Incredible story mode, hundreds of cars, multitudes de events, greats graphics... It isn´t a strict cars simulator what makes it very balanced in terms of gameplay, with the better experience of dual sence since astro play room.

    Another masterpiece by Playstation studios, this time Polyphony Digital, has raised the bar for customization and single-player career mode in racing games, not to mention the amazing multiplayer brought from GT Sport. Must buy for PS users.

    Ignore the zeroes. GT is back and as good as ever. The only issue I have is after all these years and multiple titles in the franchise, they still insist on rolling starts which is fine but when you unlock missions catching the lead car can be frustrating. They get a good 1/5th of a lap lead in some cases. Other than that it's a solid 9 out of 10.

    Gran turismo 7 is a great game. It brings me back to the greatestnes of a full fledged numbered GT7, that we had with the likes 9f GT7. The new gameplay physics are also a nice improvement.

    One of the best Gran Turismo games in a long time. Just look at the actual reviews, don’t look at user reviews. The majority of these guys are Xbox fanboys than organize review bombs on Discord for any games they can’t play. Metacritic is embarrassing.

    The good:
    New numbered installment of Gran Turismo. In photo mode you can make posters and wallpapers for the desktop background for your PC
    The bad: The 3rd person racing view makes the cars look very bad, they lack details, reflections and textures. Requires permanent online connection to play the campaign and “off-line” championships such as GT Sport. Non-existent collision engine    The good:

    The bad:
    The 3rd person racing view makes the cars look very bad, they lack details, reflections and textures. Requires permanent online connection to play the campaign and “off-line” championships such as GT Sport. Non-existent collision engine (after crashing fully, the control of the car remains the same). If there is a disconnection in the middle of a championship, you lose the progress of the races and when the connection returns you will have to start from the beginning of the event, you return to the starting grid (pun intended). The sound section is rare, taken from pre-made sound libraries, like those comic TV series, only the recorded laughs were missing. It is not possible to start a championship and let the days go by. Anachronistic, boring, absurd and redundant menus. Day 0 already has extra payments and DLCs in the store to buy cars if you don't want to be stuck in the first races always. Cars that in GT Sport cost 4 USD here cost 40 USD. Ray tracing only in photo mode (it doesn't have it in the race). Decent car modeling on a poorly lit gray background to make a visual trick and highlight the car modeling (very cheap programming trick). The coffee mode is boring, there are no “text only” character voices, so let's read

    Lo Meh!:
    Accept it once and for all, Gran Turismo stayed in the 2000s and no longer knew how to advance, the last "Great" Gran Turismo was 3, after that neither the press nor the fans accept that the saga is well dead. This game looks more like a Gran Turismo Sport re-skin. Unless you have a lot of friends in garages and you want to dazzle them (or sell them) with those car posters that stick next to a model in a bathing suit, that's just what this game will do. I don't care if they say it's a "Prologue" edition and then they release a VSpec or ASpec version, I don't believe them anymore so save it.    … Expand

Jogo maravilhoso, melhoras na física, melhoras gráficas, rodando liso a 60FPS, reflexos bonitos, o clima dinâmico mais bonito e bem feito que já vi em simuladores de corrida. Cumpriu tudo que prometeu, principalmente trazendo informações sobre carros, marcas, designers, motores e peças, qualquer um que não tenha conhecimento nenhum sobre carros irá sair do jogo sabendo que aprendeu algo, por mais mínimo que seja. Cada detalhe do carro foi feito de modo fiel a realidade, ao ver o farol do Civic e comparar com uma foto real já se nota o quão longe um jogo pode ir, e foi o o GT7 chegou.… 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.
