As anyone who’s read these reviews will be fully aware, the game has recently received an update that has done nothing to improve the game but reduce the amount of credits awarded from many events, thus pushing the extremely predatory microtransactions. This is also after the game being completely unavailable to play for over thirty hours due to maintenance and the game being online-only. I will update this review to be more positive if positive changes are made to the game - starting with the very least of reverting the recent credits reductions. If you’re on the fence, do not buy this game. Do not spend any money on the game’s microtransactions. Speak with your wallets, let Sony and PD know that this sort of behaviour is unacceptable, and is quite frankly a slap in the face of the playerbase. Expand

    Impossible game. Single player with always on-line and event price reduced to buy in-game credit with real money. Is not a free to play game. I pay 99€ for the game... this is the last time for me to belive in poliphony (until Gran Turismo 1).

    The game is extremely barebones and designed entirely around manipulating you into buying credits. It's an absolute embarrassment to the history of Sony, PlayStation, PD, and Gran Turismo.

I tried to look past the low polygon, low texture environment and background in the tracks. The gameplay was good at first until I got to the license A-8 and I couldn’t get gold thinking I was doing something wrong for 30 minutes I tried until I searched online and it turns out that the automatic update that installed when I first inserted the cd broke the game and made it unplayable. So I waited to play the game until a new update was offered to fix the problem and made the game playable. Three days passed I updated the game and it turns out that I couldn’t play it because the patch could erase your saved data and the servers were down for more then a day and the game couldn’t connect to the service so I couldn’t play my physical version of the game. That sucks that even purchasing a physical copy of the game you’re bound by their policy of always connected just so they can protect their micro transactions and keep tabs on how much you spend. It’s sad that gaming has come to this. I’ve waited so many years to play a GT game specially on the PS5. It’s been a week and a half since I purchased the game I’ve only been able play it a couple of hours since then. What a disappointment in every way. There is so much more I could say to vent out my frustration with Sony, Polyphony and the GT but whatever. It dumb. Expand

    I find it hard to make money in this game. Making it harder to earn credits with cars that cost up to 12. At the end of the day I’m the one playing the game doing the same race. I don’t really care about the other races. There is multiple cars and grinding for one car would take 3 days and maybe 4 if you want to put upgrades on you car. You can’t tell us how to play your game.

    There are genuinely things I like about this game but I cannot in good faith recommend it to anyone. Between always online, predatory MTX, lack of single player features, and the decision to nerf already weak credit rewards combined with their completely tone-deaf statement, it is clear that Sony has fully subverted the Gran Turismo series for their own gain and it is very sad to see.

They must've realized that too many people were grinding instead of buying overpriced credits so they moved the goalposts by decreasing the payouts for each race to push us to buy credit with real money when a rare car comes on sale. They charged us 100 dollars for the 25 anniversary edition but they treat this game like Fortnite where every single item in the game is for sale and very expensive. They went from being a 10/10 to a big fat zero. 2 million credits cost 20 dollars but a lot of cars cost 4 to 12 millions. Perhaps even more Expand

In the first place, always online for single player is unnecessary and counterproductive.

    GT7 is a AAA game which we paid a lot of money. I did not sign up for not a micro-transaction game. We need to stop the trend of game studios scamming players and sucking our blood with those micro-transactions!

    I have been playing over 30 hrs and only collected 3mil cred. barely enough to buy few cars and upgrade. When each race only pays out 20-30k, 50-70k on the championship, you starts to wonder.

    One of the daily race was to race with 60s hatchbacks, and while everyone was driving the Mini, I've decided to ramp up the 500 and spend 90k upgrading. oh boy how I was wrong, it's **** and slow as well and Minis just beat me. Was it worth it, def not, but that's the part of the fun. HOWEVER, to gain back 90k I had to go other races like 4-5 times.

    The game does not give you room for wasting credits, as in make some stupid upgrade decision,s buy some ****ty old car and bring to race etc. You follow the pack and grind more or you have to grind again AI ****ty drivers that literally rams you and throws you off course. (yeah this is the WORST AI drivers I've ever seen)

    and always online is ok, but multi-players should be open, gosh the network check is stupidly slow and aggressive. (takes over few min to give up the check and finally let me in to the game when the back end was down) bloody hell, when login/check times out (in 30sec or so) just move on, why wait on the screen for longer? who designed this network client?

    I consider GT4 to be the pinnacle of the series. Content in every game since should have at least the same content on release as GT4. I am not talking about the car count. The events available to race should be comparable. Low payout races that drive players toward an extremely overpriced MTX system that should not be in the game at all. SMH...GT is dead.

    'Also in this update, some event rewards have been adjusted. I wanted to also explain the reasons for it and our plans going forward.
    In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions.' So, what did they do... nerves race payouts. 100,000 credits for a 24hr endurance race. Who's even gonna think of

    They say they want to replicate the real world exclusivity and prices of rare and exotic vehicles within Gran Turismo 7. Their attempts at mimicking the real world sadly end there. You’ll always start last on the grid, even when the race is only a couple of laps and you can’t sell any vehicles whatsoever.

    Paying customers of Gran Turismo 7 briefly had the opportunity to earn approximately 1.8 million credits per hours by grinding a particular race. 1.8 million credits is approximately £15 of purchased in game credits. With some vehicles costing as much as 20 million credits, it’s clear that the only way of obtaining them is by exploiting the paying customers time or personal finances.
    This already dire situation was made ADMITTEDLY worse by its creators when they slashed the prize money of the grind race by HALF. This means that the more expensive cars require either £150+ of additional purchases (per car) on top of the game you already paid £70 for.. or it means you have race on track for 20+ hours *winning every race, every time without a collision.*

    The rotten cherry on top of the traumatising GT7 experience is a reminder of how much focus was put into customer enjoyment as opposed to customer exploitation. The cherry; this single player career-mode oriented game can ONLY BE PLAYED ONLINE. They didn’t even code the game to facilitate an offline mode. Do you get it? They either A) didn’t notice the blunder because they were focused on the side of things that exploits the player, or B) didn’t change it because it didn’t effect their exploitation model. There’s been 3 updates to tend to their exploitation - none for the gaming experience.
    Has that sunk in? Don’t worry if it hasn’t sunk in yet. The next time the servers are down and you can’t access ‘your’ content, you’ll have days to contemplate why you need to be online to play a single player game. This will lead to the eventual awareness that every time the servers return from a weekend off, the all essential prize money will have been reduced once more and you feel slightly less like a human being.

    Gameplay; the cars handle great. They don’t crash and they jump like balloons in a gale. They all sound ‘tinny’. Realistic? No. I wish I could say otherwise but, No.

    Career options; you CANNOT buy new alternative engines; you can only win them after winning a prize ticket (the odds are so low that you can basically write off engine changes). Like seriously - forget it, you won’t be dropping an RB26 in an old S13 anytime soon. You can also spends millions upon millions on concept cars that aren’t eligible for any events which makes them *literally* useless. Literally.

    Oh yeah.. and the spokesman for GT7 doesn’t address any of its customers issues. Because they only want MMOONNEEYY

    Overall; this is not a game. It’s a carefully thought out business plan which was reviewed by review companies prior to GT7 revealing their intended paywall which is over 700% more expensive than their previous customer exploitation. The whole idea here is to get every customer to spend a minimum of $/£100+ with the initial purchase and in game purchases. While the creators refine and tweak their exploitation model, they’re aiming to make no less than 5 billion dollars out of us.. er.. I mean GT7

    I’m fascinated by what is happening. Fascinated by the younger audience who think micro transactions are an acceptable requirement on top of something they have already purchased. Is masochism. These people are the future.. is this how they think the world works? By misleading people into binding agreements that they can’t escape unless they abandon?.
    GT7 sums up life and community right now. It’s all about money and ignorance. Now i’m gonna go and play Dirt and appreciate the sentiment of its creators.

    The worst entry in the series yet.

    Let's start with the gameplay, The racing itself is obviously still fine, but let's be honest, there wasn't much to do here either. It's basically still the same as GT Sport.

    The worst entry in the series yet.

    Let's start with the gameplay, The racing itself is obviously still fine, but let's be honest, there wasn't much to do here either. It's basically still the same as GT Sport. So let's keep "they didn't mess that up" as a positive for the game.

    What is a lot worse is the progression. The money flows a lot slower than in any GT game and you are forced to visit the annoying café after every little step of progress you make in the game, to confirm it there, otherwise, nothing will be unlocked, no matter how much you win. It's just an endless drag and you get nowhere.

    Now, if you're like me and don't care much for the career and just want to do some races, why not use the arcade mode? Well, that's because it's gone. Not completely, but they made it pretty much useless. You can't just start the arcade mode (no, the music rally mode doesn't count, I want a real arcade mode, like, you know, GT always had?) and do some races. You have to go to the track in the world map and pick "arcade race" there. Of course, you only can pick tracks you already unlocked in career.

    So, instead of being able to chose every track and every car (almost IIRC, I think some cars were not available in the old arcade modes), you are limited to use what you unlocked in the career.

    Let's go back to the progression "why has it gotten so slow?" you might ask. The easy answer is: Microtransactions, Sony wants to sell you these, and if earning money in the game is too easy, no one will buy them. And it seems like, really no one bought them, because Sony released an update now. "Oh, did they lower the prices?" you might ask. Sorry, but no, the microtransactions - actually, "micro" isn't the right term any more, in case of GT7 it's macrotransactions - did not get cheaper, but to make players buy them, Sony reduced the money you can earn in the game with their latest update.

    The whole game is just a money making scheme for Sony. They don't care about the players, they care about the money. They even dropped the free update option, if you're upgrading from PS4 to PS5.

    So, if you're on PS5 and want to play the PS5 version there, it's not only the most expensive game in the series, but it also forces you pay even more money, if you don't want to spend an absolutely unreasonable time grinding for in game money.

    Oh, and I didn't even get into the always online stuff. If your internet isn't available, or Sony's servers are down (which is probably more likely, considering the quality of Sony online services), you can not play the game, except for the useless music rally mode. This is absolutely insane. This means, that the game will be a dead weight, once Sony decides to stop supporting it in a few years.

    At this moment, GT is dead.

    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.

    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.
