Force feedback is awful, you can't feel kerbs or that the car will spin. Penalty system has the same problem of gran turismo sport. Now to do online race you need a good set-up, because set-up can give you over 3 second advantage (same car, different set-up). Café race are boring, the: you start last, overtake 10 slow cars in 2 laps was good in PS1, but now you have to do something new. However the worst thing is that they want you to pay real money to get in-game credit, online race gives you about 15'000Cr, and every online race last at least 15 minutes. License tests and missions give a laughable amount of credit too. A Gr.3 car costs 450'000Cr, the last week meta car for a daily race was 1'000'000Cr. On the top of that witch 1.07 they removed the only way to grind credit (1,6 million Cr in an hour if you are good).

    Only good thing are missions and license, those are good.

    Conclusion: GT7 is just a pay to get cars GT sport with some new cars and tracks. It could have been so much better    … Expand

    For me Gran Turismo has always been about collecting and racing different cars. In GT7 you will very soon run out of credits. Not only this but now online racing requires you to tune your cars, more credits needed. This would be fine if you could earn credits in game, but this is quite difficult especially if you are a very average player. To add further insult today they cut the amount of credits you could earn even more. So really to collect the expensive cars you have to pay more money in Micro Transactions and these are expensive.

    Furthermore, it seems that you can play very little of the game offline.

    After 25 years of GT, you get less tracks, less cars and nothing new except for car collection. The economy is dire, grinding is now not even worth it, the enjoyment has gone…forcing you into micro-transactions to progress. PD says ‘take a look at the longer view’…why? New content has always been notoriously slow to arrive if at all. The original tracks, cars and spirit of GT are left out.

    I'd like to give this game a fair review. Unfortunately, after spending the last 3 hours waiting for it to install and download an update and sitting through a 10 minute unskippable video I now learn that the game servers are down for maintenance and because a constant internet connection is required I can't play.

    I'm very tempted to put it back in the box and return it.

    I have been playing Gran Turismo since the PS1 and had so been awaiting GT7.

    I have been playing it for a couple of days and now lost all interest.
    The constant nudging to use Microtransactions removes all the fun. It reminds me more of a mobile game than Gran Turismo.

    Such a disappointment.

    First, it's $70 game which has unnecessary microtransactions where you pay real money to buy in-game currency to exchange for cars/car upgrades. Why is this even a thing? To make matters worse, the game is being patched in order to make it harder to earn money which now increases the need for those transactions. That is an absolutely disgusting and unacceptable business practice for a premium priced game.

    Second, it's a racing game which can't be played offline. I'd wager the majority of the playerbase plays solo - what on earth are they thinking?

The excuse for the predator micro transactions are they want cars to reflect real world prices. Which if I wanted to look at cars I will never be able to afford I can do that in real life. Then the excuse for race payouts being lower is "we don't want player's to grind the same races for money. So either the development team expect you to only play one race once or this is a very poor excuse to why they are out pricing top tier car's. Then the cherry on top is you can be forced to stop playing in the middle of a race for over 34 hours just because of "maintenance" for a £70 product this is a complete joke and as someone who owns mutiple platforms and has access to Forza I cannot recommend GT7 to a regular fan only die hard fans who don't mind paying real world cash for cars they can earn in any other racing game.… Expand

    I am 49 years old and been playing computer games since Asteroids and Pacman and SpectrumZX, I have played all GT games, I am a huge fan of the series, and this is the first time I want to review a GT game to express some serious aggravation. I'll try to be as objective as possible.

    The game is brilliant, albeit a bit short (Cafe is over in under 30, even 25 hours easily). Graphics,    I am 49 years old and been playing computer games since Asteroids and Pacman and SpectrumZX, I have played all GT games, I am a huge fan of the series, and this is the first time I want to review a GT game to express some serious aggravation. I'll try to be as objective as possible.

    The game is brilliant, albeit a bit short (Cafe is over in under 30, even 25 hours easily). Graphics, sounds, music, physics, controls, all are excellent or at least, very good. That's it for the positives.

    - Always online even for the single-player is unwanted, unwarranted and plain frustrating. You can't play the game if the servers are down, and what happens at end-of-life ? You're left with a useless box. I get the "online" thing when it comes to multiplayer, online races etc, but this strategy is meaningless for single-player and it became painfully obvious just days after release.
    - Grinding is a part of GT, always was, BUT it had some purpose and clear net "profits" until GTS. After 1.07/1.08 update especially, it's just plain useless, I can't grind for 330 races and 20 hours !!!! to buy a SINGLE legendary car
    - Microtransactions (Sony and PD playing it loose with "micro") should NOT EVEN EXIST in a full-priced AAA game. I won't even go into the whole "store was hidden from reviewers in order to get favorable reviews", which is plain straight scam.
    - To add insult to injury, Kaz said that "he wished players could enjoy the full game even, EVEN, EVEN without microtransactions". THAT'S WHY WE BOUGHT IT AT FULL PRICE!!!
    - I won't go into the pricing of the cars and the microtransactions (MICRO !!!! at 20euros), because they are highway robbery at best, because again, they shouldn't EVEN EXIST in a full-priced AAA game.

    Anyway, since I finished Cafe, Licences and Missions, since I don't have the time, nor want to grind and I obviously won't pay a single euro in their microtransactions, there is nothing else to do in this game, so I'm putting it away and waiting to see how Sony and PD update GT7 in the future    … Expand

    -Unskippable videos.Its intro is a 9 minute unskippable video. They do NOT respect your hard earned money and neither your time.

    -They lock even the physical games to steal you more. You will own NOTHING the Zionists said. They implement that everywhere.Infecting gaming industry

    -The live service named as GRAN TURISMO 7 is tedious .No offline. No split screen.Dlcs to come and only oldcars so more DLCS will come.

Matchmaking takes years, no real penalties, UI is horrible (has been great in GT Sports), lobbies cant start races, people divebomb to hell and get no penalties.
    After a race, there are six screens you need to hammer the X button through before you can actually do what you want.

    This game is a absolute failure.

    Not joking: The first patch added some more music.

    Edited after a few months: The next 3 patches are in. The BOP is still completely screwed up. Lobbies still dont work and settings there cant be saved. Payouts are a bit higher but you still cant sell cars. But PD is starting the GT World Series now, so they clearly dont give a sh*t about these issues.    … Expand

    A major downgrade from the last game. Terrible corporate greed and tone deaf gameplay loops. Cars can cost upwards of a $100 or hundreds of hours of gameplay. No excuse for it. Beyond that the "Cafe mode" is hilariously bad with the supposed "main career" feeling like an extended tutorial.

Thanks Sony, your true face and arrogance is back at its best. This game does not seserve any more sales and i hope everyone will boycot this crap that is based to steal even more money from you. As if the 80 dollar/euro was not expensive enough. And for what? Where is this price based on??? Its a cross gen game for crying out loud. On PC games have ultra ray traycing. Native 4k and FPS as high as your PC can handel. Ultra res textures etc and games are still 60,- Guys do not sponsor this until Sony and their studios change the behaviour.

    2) The ridiculous micro transactions. I'm not even sure calling it a 'micro' transaction is fair given how expensive the DLC cars end up with some costing $40 or more for a single car DLC.

    Sony and Polyphony Digital were also extremely deceptive when it came to reviews as the game we're playing now is not the same as what reviewers were playing. The changes around progression and micro transactions were only introduced AFTER reviews were published and since you can only play the game online, you're forced to take those updates.

    Gran Turismo is supposed to be a franchise that allows you to drive the high-end cars you'll never get to own in real life. No one bought this game so they can experience what it's like not to be able to afford the cars they want.

    For anyone considering this title, I would highly recommend getting GT sport instead which can be found for a significantly cheaper price. It also has reasonably priced DLC vehicles should you wish to avoid grinding for credits. Graphically, I don't feel GT7 looks that much better and the ray tracing mode which offers the biggest visual improvement only works during cutscenes. The campaign is good, but not at the expense of being able to own the vehicles you want to drive.

    At its core, there is a good game there and if it was free-to-play, I would understand why the game is the way it is. But as a full price $70 next-gen title from Sony, there is no excuse for the amount of grinding required to unlock vehicles or the ridiculous amount of real-world money you have to spend when you want to avoid that.

    There is also no excuse for the game not being fully playable offline. As someone who strongly believes in game preservation, I put a lot of importance on what is shipped on the disc. Sony needs to patch the game to be fully playable offline, but even if they do, long term the game is doomed into non-existence.

    I would strongly advise against buying this game until Sony resolves both of these issues.    … Expand

    What a cash crab. Not only is a dlc of gtsport but now is nothing more than a p2w garbage. Imagine spending 80 euro to get a f2p game.
    Edit:And now the game being UNPLAYABLE for more than a whole day. Asked a refund this is UNACCEPTABLE.

    It feels like an EA Sports game. Not the GT I remember.
    Online only? What a joke, you can't even play it online.
    Hotfixing the game to reduce credits earnt to force mtx, why do we put up with this?

    Waiting to see if they will act true to their words now.
    And even with the 100% bump in rewards (on some), it just put us barely at the same level as before the nerf, which was already very very low. Better rewards for online race : yes it is needed. The rewards should be proportionnal to the difficulty. And the    Edit post 1.09 annoucements : Seems like PD & Kaz eard the message.

    Better rewards for online race : yes it is needed. The rewards should be proportionnal to the difficulty. And the clean race bonus for online races should be much higher to motivate clean driving.

    Lobbies need to be fixed. Penalty system is bad.

    Custom races should have decent rewards too.

    As for selling cars we don't know the details yet, if it is like GT Sport it has nearly zero interest.

    New content will be interesting but won't conceal the big issues of the game.

    For the endurance races, I'd prefer it not be in missions, because I don't enjoy endurance and would like to be able to gold missions. If it is a race or a championship outside of missions, ok. And those who enjoy endurance will be able to gain the reward each time they do the race.
    And you better be able to save/pause for endurance races.

    Allways online should go, for all solo content.

    Original review :

    I've been waiting this game for years. And I am very disappointed by many aspects of it.

    Poliphony Digital went out of their way to shove micro-transactions in our mouth.

    And if it was not already bad, they patched it so earning money by playing the game is even harder now. But if you want you can pay a microtransaction to get that rare car you've received an invitation to buy. Beware... the invitation won't last long, better grind to death for days... or pay a quick micro-transaction.
    You loved racing online in GT Sport ? Well, beware too, you won't be able to, unless you follow the walled path to unlock the features you need (like MULTIPLAYER ONLINE...)

    And it will take you a lot of grind to get that precious GR3 car, oh and by the way, tuning is allowed, so if you want a slight chance to be competitive, don't forget to spend lots of credits on that, the parts are not free. Or else you can pay some micro-transaction to make the process faster.

    Ah and the used cars won't stay long in the shop, better buy your favorite cars as soon as you can. Worst for legendary cars.

    Did I mentionned you can pay micro-transactions to alleviate all that grind or get that rare car of which you don't know when you'll have both the opportunity and the money to buy later on?

    Oh and those talking heads repeating over and over the same lenient advices or "words of encouragement". OK Sarah I know I screwed up for the nth time my circuit experience sector, I am already not happy, I'll gladly spare myself to read your comments again and again.

    You like to click all the time ? You'll love that game, the UI most have been designed by a sadist. For example, to go from one sector of circuit experience to the next, it will take you no less than 8 clicks, 8 ! A simple "Next" button was too complicated to design I guess.

    And I haven't said a word about bugs, savefiles crashs, credits loss...

    I know I won't buy GT8 (and the PS6) if PD do not steer the boat in the right direction. Right now we are in the swamps and it does not get better.

    Fancy some cool music ? There's plenty. Oh wait, the music changes every 3 seconds if you change spot on the world map. You wanted to listen that song ? Better stop what you were doing, because as soon as you change place, it will change to another one.

    Fancy classical music ? There's plenty too ! But it has been massacred buy some guy with an electronic mixer and digital beats and other craps.    … Expand

    Plagued with micro transactions and anti-consumer practices. I paid $70 for this game and can’t play offline during server maintenance that was intended to last 2 hours and has now extended beyond 14 hours.

    The payout of races was set to be reduced, further driving players toward paying real money for in game credits.

    Decent physics I guess, unless you choose a rear wheel drive car.

    Can't play single player because servers are done?! What a great way to give the middle finger to your customers.

    Feels like a crappier, knock off Forza demo. Loot boxes and paid credits. Nerfed race credit payouts to push you towards buying credits. Would be fine if there were races to utilize the high tier races, but there aren't. Hardly any races. Probably a quarter of the constant GT4 had. Not worth 70 dollars, not worth my time.

    Allways online even in single player mode?!?!, microtransactions, fulltime job grinding to get decent cars.
    Even Ubisoft would call this crazy.

    Take a look at GRID LEGENDS, thats a proper racing game: offline playable, no microtransactions.

    Issues galore recently. Literally unplayable. £70 and the servers have been down for the last 15 hours. Why do you need to be always offline for the single player mode?

    So much hype; so disappointed!
    Visually this game is spectacular but is let down in so many areas.
    The lack of day one content was astounding given the time taken to develop this game. No endurance races, no reason to even own a Gr.1 car (pointless pre-order bonus), forced career path, tedious grinding and obvious roulette wheel bias.

    The game can comfortably be completed in less than a week unless you are a perfectionist chasing gold on everything. This leaves a "now what?" question.

    This score is based on after beating the main story of the game which is a fart in the wind compared to previous entries into the series. the lack of actual content and the constant push for you to buy mtx with time limited chances to buy a car you cant get anywhere else and them then slashing race rewards in half to prevent you from grinding for them. you beat the main story if you canThis score is based on after beating the main story of the game which is a fart in the wind compared to previous entries into the series. the lack of actual content and the constant push for you to buy mtx with time limited chances to buy a car you cant get anywhere else and them then slashing race rewards in half to prevent you from grinding for them. you beat the main story if you can call that and honestly you're as broke as when you started and wondering why there's so little to the game. to make it worse you need a constant internet connection to play this games single player which means this game dies when the servers die. this game has fully killed my trust for this series and i'm sad to see it go this way.… 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.
