    It’s sad when such a well know triple A games gets involved with this micro transaction Bull. Literally sucks the enjoyment out of playing.

    The update just like a joke. We paid for the game, and wait for your update over a day, you just cut half of the award in the game for the update? So you just want us to know that if you can’t afford to buy a real car, you can’t afford the car in the game either? So realistic! The game just want us to pay the real money more and more, right? What a great job

    A mediocre game, made worse by the mandatory internet connection and how expensive the cars are to acquire via credits, simply disappointing

    You need to earn invitations to buy cars, by spinning a dumb roulette, another clear gambling mechanic. Some cars could cost you 200$ real money to buy. Yes that is not a typo, two hundred real world dollars so you can drive a virtual car.

    With a single installment, they killed a 25 year old franchise.

    Can't even refund because it is a digital copy, and PS Store just denies it, because we downloaded the game. Yes, simply starting the download of a game denies you any chance of refund, even when the game is not working properly with 30+ hours dowtime in a row.

    Will never purchase again.    … Expand

    Abysmal game! Been with GT since the start and other than the graphics gameplay this just isn’t GT. Pathetically short almost non-existent career mode and the entire game is trying to force you towards micro transactions. Game is either unfinished or woefully designed or a combination of both! Totally regret buying it now!! Polyphony Digital you’re a joke!

    Not worth the money by far the worst gran turismo so far can’t even play solo if server is down and race payouts have been lowered and price for cars has gone up as a way for developers to be able to make more money from micro transactions. Also story mode is super short.

    I specifically made an account to voice my complaints here, along with all the other gamers. Let me start by apologising to most of the ladies and gentlemen at Polyphony Digital that have invested so much into what started as a true work of art, only to be let down by their peers and higher-ups.

The parts of this game that do work, are phenomenal and blow the competition out of the water. Sadly though, after going through the (very short!) Cafe campaign, there is a handful of missions to do and that’s it - the game comes to a complete halt. I was entirely through the campaign in just 4 days. They clearly cut content to drip-feed us later, not only was this proven but it also feels like that to the player. The graphical downgrades are a big letdown, especially since it didn’t improve performance at all (interestingly, performance actually seems to have worsened, on a PS5 mind you!).

    Let’s just adress the elephant in the room here; payout nerfs and extreme push towards mtx in this game have stooped to a lower level than I’ve ever come across before, and we’ve had quite a few disastrous game launches in recent years! The way GT7 is setup is an utter disgrace, and there will be a very long path to win back the faith of your loyal players. The ones responsible (I’m not sure who ultimately called these shots) should be absolutely ashamed. The fact there has been radio silence for so long on the matter is making things far worse still. Sony, PD, whoever is reading: this will NOT blow over - we will NOT back down. You will NOT get away with this and will absolutely pay for these mistakes dearly.    … Expand

    With the path this game is on it is not worth playing in the least bit. Forza (series) has won me over bar none, come to racing games. I was super hyped for GT7, but they obviously favor microtransactions over anything and proceeded to make the game online only for single player career modes, and made it even more grindy. No thank you im good.

    By far the worst gt ever and I have played them all. Extremely time consuming for no reason an a lot of non fun time. The geme is punishing you for your chooses which actuality mekes it not a game. Some cars are very hard to drive without serious customisation which is not the same in real life. So it is not a car simulator either. Very disappointed.

    The game is superb to play based on graphics, content etc. The sad reality is the game has been ruined by ***micropayments***. If you were going down this road, just make the game free then charge everyone. Making people buy the game and then charge in this way is killing this incredible franchise.

    Hey Sony and Polyphony Digital. I got an idea!!! Charge the players the gas the cars need to run in circuits. Place also indicators.

And when they press R2 charge them more! If they cant pay just suspend and ban their accounts and freeze the game like you always do. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

    Video games are a hobby. They are an escape from the real world. Unfortunately, Gran Turismo 7 ignores this distinction and treats it like the real world, with an in-game economy that makes playing feel like a full-time job. Developers refuse to acknowledge the issues, let alone fix them. Either play the older GT games, or play Forza Motorsport. Avoid like the plague

    Micro transactions ruined this game and less content then GT Sport. Even in September 2022 the game economy is garbage. Barely any cups. I really hope Sony does better with future first party exclusives.

    I created account just to review this game. Numerous complaints. First is the inability to sell cars. Who wants a garage full of terrible hatchbacks that you will never drive? Additionally, selling unwanted cars is no longer a source of in game currency. This decision seems like a predatory attempt to get consumers to spend real world money on in game currency. Truly shameful. Second isI created account just to review this game. Numerous complaints. First is the inability to sell cars.

Instead this game introduces “menu books” where the goal is to collect more cars you’ll never drive. Admittedly, these menu books are a good way to learn a bit of automotive history, but the overall gameplay experience suffers for it. Finally, for reasons I won’t get into here, I wanted to delete my game progress and start over. For some reason beyond my comprehension this isn’t possible. The only work around is to great a new PlayStation account. Very bizarre choice on the part of the developer. Overall GT7 has truly been abysmal and feels like a waste of $70.… Expand

    Something really strange with how positive the critics are on this.
    This game may cause depression. Paywall city. Frustrating menus.

    This is honestly the worst GT game of all time. GT3 and 4 was where this brand was top. GT5 was good as well. But this just looks like an upscaled last gen game PS4 game. The environments look wack. Cars look great when not in gameplay as GT has always been.n

    Micro transactions will kill the industry. And Gran Turismo 7 will be one of many with blood on its hands.

    Everytime you earn money from races or trials (which is barely any to begin with), there is a literal prompt to “top up your credits.” AKA get out your credit card and spend more on a $90+ game. 26.99CAD for $2MM (credits) barely scrapes the surface of the price tag of just ONE of    Micro transactions will kill the industry.

    The heritage museum is the real culprit for the most part. They update the classic car selection frequently in a ‘limited time’ format so you can either lose sleep grinding for credits or, you guessed it: “top up.”

    There is currently (as of this post) a car in said heritage museum (Jaguar XJ13 66’) that costs a 12,000,000 credits.

    Read that again.

    12,000,000.

    It will cost $180 CAD to acquire 12MM credits.

    For one car.

This game isn't getting "review bombed", it's getting accurate criticism. After the initial drama over the updates and the minor changes we got to the game, there was a brief period of optimism that the game would get better. Unfortunately it hasn't. Is it easier to grind for credits to buy the cars you want now? Yes. But there's still nothing much to do in the game. PD sent out their apology and made a bunch of promises after the initial backlash, but we've heard nothing since. Their last message to the players was that we were getting a bunch of stuff added including "new course layouts" before the end of April, and all we got was a single change to the pits at Spa. They haven't said anything since. So much for the optimism.

    The more you try to play this game, the worse it gets. There's only 3 races with decent rewards, so if you want to get the expensive cars you end up on a mindless grind. Defenders of the game will tell you that the new rewards for getting gold on all the circuits will give you a ton of credits, but the cars in the legends dealership are so expensive that if you gold literally everything that's still not enough to buy even 3 of the high end cars, and those rewards can only be earned once. Also, the cars rotate so slowly in the legend dealership that if you can't afford a car it'll be at least 2 months before you ever see it again.

    The roulette ticket system is horribly broken (there's plenty of videos about that on YouTube if you want to know more). I've done the daily workout for 50 straight days, and 47 times I got either the lowest money reward possible, a useless part for a car I already own, or an invitation to buy a car I already have. The other 3 times I got a cheap car I already had. Which, of course, I cannot sell because they still haven't added that feature to the game despite the PSN store falsely claiming you can sell stuff in the game since day 1. This wouldn't even matter except ALL engine swaps in the game are locked behind this rigged ticket system. There is NO way in the game to earn engine swaps any other way. What in the world were they even thinking by doing this?

    The penalty system for online races makes no sense. You'll get hit by another player and get a penalty while they get nothing. Minor contact gives you a penalty, but a player trying to intentionally ram someone so hard that the game ghosts their car to prevent it gets zero penalty. It makes absolutely no sense and ruins the online experience.

    There are a ton of really fast cars in the game, and absolutely zero events to use them in. The most frustrating part of that is that those events are already built into the game and they just wont enable them. PD had Jimmy Fallon playing the game prior to launch and you can see race options for the game prior to release that included Gr1 and high performance point races on Daytona that the paying customers still don't have access to. I guess only celebrities get that content, not paying customers.

    The performance point system is horribly broken. You can wildly skew the ratings of any car in the game by making the first couple of gears unusable and doing weird suspension settings. Until they fix this the game will be in a bad state.

    In summary, this game was launched as a terrible exercise in how to bleed customers for microtransaction money. While that's been partially fixed, the rest of the game is still in a terrible state. It's unfortunate because under all the terrible design decisions made by PD that are ruining the game, there is actually the bones of a really great racing game with stunning visuals and fun driving. This entire drama is solely the result of the terrible leadership decisions at PD. It can be fixed, and I really hope it will be fixed at some point, but there's no reason to recommend this game to anyone in it's current state, and all my friends who've been asking me if they should get it have been told to wait for future updates. This is a huge disappointment. The people who changed their reviews to 10s after the tiny changes we got make absolutely no sense to me. PD isn't communicating with their costumers AT ALL and no longer deserves the faith people are trying to place in them.    … Expand

    As a fan of the series this is a truly disappointing release. I won't even talk about the current unplayable status due to the downed servers and the always online requirements **** happens, but **** wouldn't be so big if the game didn't require online) but the game has more fundamental problems that for me disqualify it from the legendary Gran Turismo legacy.

    First and most important,    As a fan of the series this is a truly disappointing release. I won't even talk about the current unplayable status due to the downed servers and the always online requirements **** happens, but **** wouldn't be so big if the game didn't require online) but the game has more fundamental problems that for me disqualify it from the legendary Gran Turismo legacy.

    First and most important, for me, is the lack of a real career mode. This is what defined a Gran Turismo game for me and the café thing is definitely not a replacement.

    Second, it lacks a lot of content. It has less cars, less tracks, and less races. It has no NASCAR and almost no rally. It has no real life karts (it has a ridiculously overpowered kart) or kart tracks.

    Third, the microtransaction thing is awful. I don't care about microtransactions in games where they don't affect the flow of the normal game (like in Call of Duty games, for example) but in this game a lot of stuff is clearly designed to make you buy credits with real money, for example:

    - More than half of the cars are more than 100.000 credits and more than 10% are more than a million (WTF?). Some cars are 20 million! By comparison, the most expensive car in Gran Turismo 5 was 500k.
    - The awful "ticket lottery" system where most of the time you get the lowest price (5k, 10k, a random tuning piece which is usually even worth less and for some specific car). I have opened like 20 tickets and not on a single one I got a car or the biggest credit stack. Truly infuriating, specially when you are reminded that you can buy more credits with money after getting the ****ty price.
    - The nerfed payouts in tracks. This is aggravated by the lack of content, meaning you would be grinding the same 2-3 races that pay half-decently to get the cars you want (and as a bonus, it looks like they will nerf the payouts of the few races that pay well). In previous Gran Turismo games there was a grind to get money, of course, but you had a lot of content and variety so it didn't feel so.
    - You can't sell cars. A feature, mind you, they announced the game had.

    The game has other problems, inherited from previous Gran Turismo games, but that in 2022 you could expect would have some improvements:

    - The AI is not really and AI but more like trains on a track. They almost never overtake among themselves and if you are in front of them they will totally wreck you. Poliphony has promised a new, better AI will come but it's not there right now.
    - The sound is pretty good for some cars but mostly bad for most of them, with the same old "angry vacuum cleaner" sound. Same for the skidding sound which is the same sound you had in GT1 so many years ago, and always the same sound for all cars and tires.
    - The UI is awful and lacks shortcuts. For example, you can tune your car before a race, you have to go several steps back to the world map, then go to the tuning shop and tune it there.
    - Split creen more has an horrible framerate.
    - Sport mode is basically broken right now.

    On the positive side, the game looks beautiful (trough I would have expected more for a 2022 PS5 game, specially the lack raytracing during gameplay smells bad) and the handing of the cars seem to be good (at least the RX8, which is the same car I have in real life, have a very similar handing).

    So, in summary, this game doesn't feel like a Gran Turismo numbered game but a lazy work over GT Sport with the cafe thing tacked in and nerfed payouts so you have to buy microtransactions.    … Expand

    First review on the site. Been playing GT since GT1 back in 1998. Been playing sim racing games my whole life. I have the highest respect for Polyphony Digital and Kazunori Yamauchi before this, but not anymore. The last 2 weeks, and especially last 24 hours after v1.07 update and extended server outage, have destroyed any trust I have in the series.

    1) This is an AAA game sold at full    First review on the site. Been playing GT since GT1 back in 1998. Been playing sim racing games my whole life. I have the highest respect for Polyphony Digital and Kazunori Yamauchi before this, but not anymore. The last 2 weeks, and especially last 24 hours after v1.07 update and extended server outage, have destroyed any trust I have in the series.

    1) This is an AAA game sold at full price, but it is designed like a freemium mobile game with predatory microtransactions. Credits are very hard to come by (e.g. the most expensive car needed 11+ hours of racing to buy before the update). But you can buy credit packs from PSN ($300 AUD for the aforementioned car). Buying parts for tuning cost money. Visual customization cost money. And the latest update has slashed the highest earning race payout in half.

    2) Lootboxes. You get a roulette ticket for completing races, but nothing good ever comes out of it. You get pitiful credits, and never good cars or parts. Again it pushes you towards MTX.

    3) Time limited dealerships. New Car Dealer has "invite system" for the most desirable cars. How to get invited? You guessed it - through random roulette. Used Car Dealer and Legendary Dealer cycle randomly every 24 hours. If you haven't got enough credits to buy a car when it appears, tough luck as MTX is your only option.

    4) Cannot sell cars like in previous games. You can only remove them from garage. Again, this reduces the chance to earn credits.

    5) Engine swaps, one of the most exciting feature, is also locked behind the random roulette.

    6) Bugs and glitches. Numerous issues from release day, some halting progression entirely. Each new update brings its own set of bugs as well. And they prioritized reducing the race payouts instead of fixing them.

    7) Always online. Said to reduce cheating. Sure, but offline play should be exempt from this. Currently the server has been out for 24+ hours with zero explanation or ETA from the developer.

    8) Physics issues. RWD and 4WD road cars have a fatal physics flaw as their rear tyre breaks traction way too easily. Wheel FFB is lacking (they spent all their time optimizing DualShock 5 and forgot about us hardcore simracers). Lots of tuning exploits to game the PP (performance rating) system and imbalances online play.

    9) Lack of cars and tracks. Roughly 300/400 cars and 29/33 tracks are carried over from GT Sport. The new cars are often outdated models. They are bringing classic fictional tracks back, but the layout and atmosphere has been altered significantly. Monthly updates only brings 3 cars each month, and often these are Vision GT concepts that nobody wants, or slight variants of existing models.

    10) Boring career mode. Lack of events - lots of cars have no specific championship (Gr.2, Formula cars). AI is still painfully slow and unaware of your car. Most races are catch the rabbit type events with no actual racing. Updates only add a few races that are over in an hour of gameplay. Not to mention still a distinct lack of high paying races forcing you to grind the same 4 events over and over.

    11) Music Rally. Useless feature. Development time could have been spent adding an improved Course Maker from GT5/6 instead.

    12) GT Cafe. Great idea, but execution is hampered by the lacking car list, poor racing and all the problems above. Also very short and you barely have enough credits to buy all the cars once its done. EDIT: They added new menu books but these are just "buy x cars and get x reward", no actual racing.

    Good things: graphics and photomode are still as gorgeous as ever. Wet weather driving is truly dynamic with wind speed, weather radar, drying lines and puddles/aquaplaning. Soundtrack still carries that signature GT feel (although a lot of tracks are also recycled from previous games). But these are features that are to be expected nowadays, and they are greatly outweighed by the negatives above.

    Conclusion: lacking in content and racing, poor physics on a wheel, lots of bugs and always online requirement. This is a full priced title but designed like an F2P game to make you cough up even more money if you want to enjoy all of the (already limited) content. The latest update reduced payouts even more, and also breaks the server for 24+ hours so nobody can play. Zero explanations given by developer. Certainly the worst GT game by far (including Prologues and spinoffs like GT PSP), and shows a worrying trend by Polyphony Digital for the future. Kazunori should be ashamed of betraying the trust of so many car lovers worldwide who has supported the series since it's inception.

    EDIT: 7 months and several updates later, things are barely better. Grind is still atrocious, still lack of events/cars/tracks, unstable online lobbies, promised feature missing (car selling). Sad to say this game still deserves its 0 score.    … Expand

    It's a wonderful game with an economy targeted to create a feel of ownership of your vehicles instead of them raining on your head like in the previous title. 30 hours in I've not had a single incentive to use their microtransactions so really don't get the review bombing - just play the game.

    Despite almost 100% of the content in this game being recycled from Granturismo Sport, obtaining top cars in this game could easily cost you $200 apiece in micro transactions! The same car was $5 in Sport! Screw Sony. Want to grind credits instead? Completing the entire story mode - which sucks - might net you about $10M if you never spend a single credit anywhere, and top cars cost $20MDespite almost 100% of the content in this game being recycled from Granturismo Sport, obtaining top cars in this game could easily cost you $200 apiece in micro transactions! The same car was $5 in Sport! Screw Sony. Want to grind credits instead? Completing the entire story mode - which sucks - might net you about $10M if you never spend a single credit anywhere, and top cars cost $20M apiece. Eff this greed.

    Someone calculated that as of right now, buying the entire roster of cars would cost over $3,000 - and you can't even do that, because you need roulette tickets and special events to make certain cars available!

    This game is a disaster. There are so many bugs. The game always has to be online in single player so Sony can datamine your interaction. A major patch screwed up dirt races so cars don't have dirt tires, making those events impossible. There are loot boxes in the form of roulette tickets which have been proven by statistical analysis to be rigged for low payouts.

    But guess what - the micro transaction store hasn't had a single bug. It's almost like that's where they spend most of their time.

    Buggy, broken, and greedy.

    The racing is good, but I completed the story mode in maybe 10 hours and I'm selling my disc. I'm done. The story mode is so bad. You have "friends" in each event who are stock photo images with text. That's it. That's the story. They say generic crap like "I'm racing the Supra today". Oh wow bro. Nobody cares.

    There are almost no new cars, because all the content is recycled. Games like Forza have so much more original content, it's ridiculous.

    Defenders of this game are likely literal Sony bots. Sony has been caught multiple times buying forum posts, hiring companies to make fake posts of support and manipulating forums. Trust the user score here - there are too many people down voting for Sony to buy their way out of this. Do not purchase GT7, and more important, don't spend a single dollar on their stupid micro transactions.    … Expand

    This one pains me. As a Gran Turismo player since day one, I was really hyped about this game. The game, is fine. I am not a huge fan of being led by my hand through the cafe.

    The game gets repetitive somewhat quickly against the AI. And now, it seems, like Credits are getting nerfed. This is already taking a grindy game and making it even more of one. It seems like this series, and it’s creators, have taking the full microtranacrion bait of live service games. Sad to see a once proud development team go down this path. It is worth the buy at a lower cost.    … Expand

    Gran Turismo is known for being the realistic sort of racing game, it's ironic that the people tasked with making the latest entry after so many years are so far removed from said reality.

    The realism got pushed so far that it went straight into a parody, with microtransactions taking the center stage, since as the developers have said, they wanted to replicate the real car culture by making the cars so expensive that most people can't afford it.
    Some cars costing more than the game itself, and some costing literal hundreds of dollars.
    The Devs lean so far into this element that they even keep track of the real world car market, and raise the in game prices to reflect it.
    Don't worry though, if a certain real car dropped in price, its game counterpart... Will also raise in price.
    At every step the Devs make sure to let us know that the microtransactions are the priority, and the actual game is only a shell to enable it.
    As such, in my opinion there's no point in discussing the game itself, no matter how well done (although it has its own share of problems) it's just simply a disgrace.
    If you were the Gran Turismo fan back in the day... My condolences.    … Expand

    They introduced microtransactions and tweaked in-game rewards to encourage MTX post launch. That is very dishonest, and unfair.

    Microtransactions just ruined the experience. Cars are way expensive than they were in GT sport. They reduced the pay out of many races.
    We can't play the game in offline at all.

    This Game felt like a 7.5
    Gt7 was patched to exclusively become a platform to get you to pay micro-transactions to have a good experience. Base gameplay was already barely affordable with in-game economy and that has been removed. Do not buy

    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.
