    NO OFFLINE, SINGLE-PLAYER MODE for an effen $70 game!!! Game economy steers players towards microtransactions. ** Instituted massive changes on first patch... which coincided with the expiration of any refund period! Polyphony took EA's playbook and ran with it!

    At this point achieving a full collection is impossible without either painfully grinding for months and months maybe even years on end or spending stupid amounts of money on micro-transactions. An incredibly expensive title which I 100% regret buying.

    I was excited to finally buy ps5 and among my first game I would have bought Gran Tourismo 7, until I found the reviews about all the unreal stuff they added in the game (micro t., Always online, small rewards...) and I made the decision not to buy the game with this current state. Sucks coz I really wanted to be the first among my friends to buy ps5 and to invite them for a race...

The two points represents the driving in this game because it doesn't fall any where short of wonderful. The sound design is incredibly accurate and crisp, with wonderful tones that makes the engines sing. The dynamic time and weather are really the icing on the cake and so is the level of love for detail that the developers have including in the cars. It is simply above par from a gameplay point of view and marvelous in everything it does. However, I am going to recommend that you don't spend any money on this and here is why.

    If you have limited time, you will not be rewarded at all for placing what little time you have as an investment into this game. There is a car scarcity, so they are reflective of real world prices (which at times can be outrageous). So, if you like to collect all the cars it is a hard pass. The campaign is incredibly short, as are the missions, and the license tests. There is a disturbing lack of content in Gran Turismo 7 and it suffers greatly due to this absence. Content, meaning cars, races, campaign, series, and events. This is compounded by all of the single player content that is locked if the servers are offline. The last outage spanned thirty-two hours, shortly after launch, with absolutely no feedback from the developers to the consumers. Inexcusable, really. It is truly a disappointment to write this after almost a decade of waiting for this game to come out, especially after all the gameplay improvements and additions.

    Lastly, I just want to say that I am disappointed in Polyphony Digital. After a long run of very successful games in the series, fan dedication, and support overall for such a classy, innovative, and inspiring racing simulation, that they would be even more predatory in their pursuits. Firstly, they left the store out of the review copies, which would have shown their practices to be predatory, and have a negative impact to the image of the game. With all the events of the past two years in mind, you will spend no less (if you are very very lucky) than eight hundred dollars to buy one PlayStation 5 and a copy of Gran Turismo 7. To add insult to an already agonizing injury, they would like to cut the prizes that you receive for winning races, and entice you into spending more money out of your pocket on microtransactions to buy a digital car in a video game. The greed shown here is astounding, to say the least. Not only that, but I am sure that in the future, you will have to pay for the learning AI. I have seen mention of this, I cannot remember where, but I am sure it is searchable if I had more time right now to find it.

    After purchasing seven main entries and GT Sport, unless there is a turn around from an ethics standpoint, I can not justify buying another game from this developer, or recommend anyone else to for that matter. This made me physically sad to write this, I am going to get some fresh air. Cheers.    … Expand

    Micro transactions are a bad joke... Waiting until critic reviews are out to introduce transactions is a common yet low move for the developer. This industry practice needs to stop. This is false advertising and should be treated as such by industry watchdogs.

    All cars should be reachable in a full priced game without needing to do hundreds of races to get 1 rare car. This is not a free to play experience, someone tell the developer, I think they missed that meeting... Roulette spins are very obviously weighted towards the low end prizes, should be actually random. Reducing race payouts, limited stock cars and legend cars are all clearly trying to drive players to purchase with real money.

    DRM needs to go! Always online mode for any decent content is ridiculous. Arcade and Music Rally are not worth playing on their own, might as well just lock people out during maintenance. Bring back local saves.    … Expand

    Earning credits is made to be unreasonably slow and difficult for average players, overtly encouraging the spending of real money on microtransactions. An expensive, full-priced game of this nature should not be structured like a free mobile game wherein one is almost forced to continue paying small fees to make the game playable.

    The Racing is as good as it has always been. The release of microtransactions after review copies were reviewed, the lack of microtransactions during the review period, the following slashing of progress in the game through playing, and the online only access to the game means I'm standing up for gamers and extending the finger of objection in the direction of Sony and Gran Turismo.

    I'm a huge fan of car games, especialy simracing games and at first glance gran turismo 7 is a great addition to the franchise. It has loots of good points like the amazing cars handeling and sound, great customization and nice graphics. But it also has major flaws. The game can olny be played online so when te servers are down you're basicaly screwed. Since the 1.07 update it's very hard to earn large amounts of credits and the majority of the cars are very expensive. You can't sell cars and the microtransactions are very present and at your disadvantage. The roulette tickets are broken and give some useless parts or small amounts of money 95% of the time. The campain is very short and beacause of the cars performance limitations you can't play whith the more powerful ones without detuning them. There are only 34 playable tracks at the time. The multiplayer is broken and you don't have full control over your server ( rammers and dirty racers are a real problem ). To conclude gt7 is a game that has an amazing potential but needs to be improved drasticaly.    … Expand

First, the always-online mechanic is absolutely pointless is absolutely pointless. How is it that this game has 100 gigabytes of data on my Council yet because the server is down I'm not able to play 99% of the game. What is on my Council? And what does the future hold if they decide to shut the servers down? Does that mean I can't play my game anymore and if that's the case then what's the point. The second thing to point out is the blatant corporate greed here. They reduced many of the races payouts by half because people were replaying them over and over again to earn money to buy vehicles. Now I don't feel that the prices are too high for vehicles because the car market is so weird these days that some of these prices actually make sense but for the director of the game to come out and defend their actions because they don't want people replaying races so they can enjoy the game is absolute crap. That argument would only make sense if they were a lot more races to play, which there isn't, or if the race is actually paid out more money so that way I wouldn't have to replace them as much. Whether or not they want to admit it oh, it's clearly to force people towatds microtransactions so they can make more money, which is completely unacceptable given how much we paid for the game. It's truly shameful seeing this company sink this low for this and ruin what has truly been a fantastic gaming experience for the first week or two of enjoying this game. If they fix their mistakes with this update then maybe there's still hope for this game but as it stands right now I will not recommend this game to anyone… Expand

This is 100% a cash grab. Withholding micro transaction plans from reviewers before their reviews went out: reducing all race costs by over 50%, so you have more incentive to buy credits with real money; boring campaign mode in the cafè; no events as fun ways to make credits; ridiculous pricing on cars; barely getting any credits for online races; not being able to sell your cars, OR even sell your DUPLICATE CARS at the very least?? You are also gonna have to spend LOADS of money on tuning and maintenance if you want to be competitive online, or make your cars fun, which is ridiculous. I've spent more money tuning than I have actually buying cars...

    The roulete system is definitely rigged as well. I've completed all 39 cafè's and have done many daily workouts, and have not gotten anything other than $10,000 or $5,000 credits. 95% of the time I get that, and the other 5% I've gotten a new engine or new muffler... I've never won any of the big prizes

    If you wanna continue talking about bad fan service, their servers were down for 24 hours, and they never gave anyone a free gift, as a "sorry you couldn't play this $80 game you just bought." They could've at least given us a free roulette (even though I'd probably win only 5,000 credits). That's time I could've spent making credits to saving up for their absurd pricing for tuning, maintenance and cars.

    Some positives is that it is a very fun game. The racing feel is awesome, the cars and tracks look incredible, the sounds of the vehicles is great, and the menu layout is very nice; however, the major annoyances ruin this game to the point where I don't even wanna play it anymore; we play video games like Gran Turismo because we cannot afford these cars in the real world; now, thanks to poly/sony, I can't even afford cars in a video game... creating realworld prices in a video game, and making it so difficult, grindy and boring to make credits, is NOT the way to go, and is not fair for people who can't just fork money over to pay for a competitive car to use that week, or to use a car they've always dreamed of owning, or to just collect and try all the great cars the game has to offer. There are cars in GT sport that you could buy for $3, that you now have to buy for $40 in GT7??? How does that even make any sense???

    There is also some BAD track exploits and penalty systems online. Can't even count how many times I've been rammed, and I'm the one who gets the penalty because I couldn't stop myself from hitting the barrier... Then I just see the other player go off, sometimes free from penalties, or with only a 2 second penalty. Meanwhile, I'm completely out of the race, now...

    Don't even get me started on GT music rally; it's stupid, boring and no one wanted it.

    Fix this Sony/Poly...    … Expand

Underneath the despicable introduction of micro transactions which makes some cars cost over £200 of REAL MONEY and the always online system bringing load times to a snails pace along with the other rubbish that it bring it has the potential to be an amazing racing game. But considering the micro transactions were introduced just after the reviews came out just so they could get a good score and get their money and also the updates which have cut the race winnings to further push consumers to pay more money on top of the £70 they had already forked out, not only that with the servers always down for maintenance you can’t even play the game most of the time, even the single player because of it being always online. As it stands, I can’t recommend this shady game.… Expand

    The bad news is it feels like the game is out to grab as much money from the player as possible. The game itself wasn't cheap. You can't sell cars to make money, so I'm instead left with a garage full of cars I don't want.

    The one car I wanted to get was the McLaren F1. I've just seen its 20 million credits. I don't think I'll ever win that many credits, and if I was to buy the credits through the playstation store that would be £159.90. £159.90 for a single car! This is insane. I will never buy ANY credits for this game. It wasn't a free game, it was expensive.

To think they would actually sacrifice convenience of play to earn in game items and make it an unfairly grind speaks to where their intentions truly lie.

    It’s all artificial fluff to give the game legs it doesn’t need, in hopes to get extra money the studio and Sony don’t deserve at this point.

And there are sooo many useless screens I have to click my way through before and after every single race, probably to make the game feel much more complex than it actually is. And perhaps to make the game last longer since all the time it take to click through those screens put a limit to how much you can actually drive for each real hour you spend in the game. In reality it's just driving you away from even starting the game since you just can't be bothered to waste your own time like that.
    Sure, the game can show some amazing still photos. But the in game race graphics are certainly not next-gen! I have double checked to see if I am running the PS4 version, but sadly it does say PS5. Still waiting for the patch where they admit that everyone was running the wrong version. Nothing else can explain it.
    The sound of the cars are supposed to be much improved and among the best in the genre etc. But... Most cars sound the same - like electric razors and kitchen appliances.. Wooo the thrill...
    And to address the elephant in the room too - Yes it is way WAY too heavy on the micro transactions. Even for a free to play game I would think this is a bit much. But for a next-gen full price game it is way beyond what is in any way acceptable. Compared to any other game in the series the game is lacking in play modes, tracks, cars and.. fun!

    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.
