    Beautiful visuals and physics but that's where it ends. Ridiculous pay outs to push microtransactions. Finished the campaign (if you can call it that) and barely have any currency or top tier vehicles. Nerfed payouts in latest update. £70 for this is a joke. Never preordering a Sony game again

They are trying to be just like EA with those anticonsumerist practices. Its a joke of a game and they think that this is a free mobile game, i wish it were because they would actually have a point to make those greedy actions against theyre loyal fans but no, REMEMBER YOU PAID 70 BUCKS FOR THIS !

The small amounts of credit rewards coupled with the very expensive cars makes it the most grindy GT ever. It’s very apparent that they want to nudge you towards micro transactions. I get free 2 play vibes from the economy in this game( You can’t even sell cars). Only difference is that you have to pay full price first. Then we have the lack of communication during these server maintenance windows that never seem to end. The ongoing maintenance while writing this review was supposed to last 6 hours. Instead it’s been 24 hours and not a peep from Polyphony. The game went from a solid 8.5-9 to a 0 for me. I can’t play this disgusting piece of sh*t. And that’s not just because it’s impossible to even start during the maintenance. But also because the complete and utter disrespect to the fan base. Congratulations Polyphony Digital. You’ve joined some of the other great fallen studios of this decade. I feel sorry for the people that work at PD who actually care and want to create something amazing.

    Edit: in light of the latest updates I now have changed the score to a 5/10. Im glad they’re starting to listen. I will raise the score further depending on future updates.

    Pre 1.11 Update.
    To play you have to be always online. Greedy Microtransactions to force tuning and car purchases in an expensive game. Lack of career mode content and progression, too many free new cars that you can't sell to upgrade others. Missing classic race tracks (Grand Valley, Pikes Peak, London, Rome, Seattle?). Missing F1 races. Missing endurance races. Missing race management mode. Unable to sell won cars, so you are left with a bloated and unwanted collection. You have to press X to many times upon completion to exit a a race. You can't navigate to tuning/garage/race quickly.

    However it is a blast! The racing is exactly as GT has always been. Trial Mountain is superb!

    Die hard GT fan since drooling over magazine previews of the original PS1 game all those years ago. Reducing credit payouts in an update to obviously force players into micro transactions stinks.

    Although there is definitely more content in the game the playability is subpar in some aspects like menu navigation. However what I find most irritating is the fact that it is now much (MUCH) harder to get cars because of the ridiculous increase in their price in credits and the cut in prices for using the game. For instance - driving more than 42km would give you a new car in GT Sport but only a ticket to a "Roulette" in GT7 which 99% of the times gives you the smallest prize (generally Cr5000). And this is not just complaining that I can't get a McLaren F1 like I did in GTS; it means that getting to the point in which you can get a GT3 car will take you a lot of time to even start driving what many of us consider a drivable car for a race. There are many beatiful road cars but most of them are extremely boring to drive unless you spend a lot of money in parts. When I started playing GT7 I found it quite dull because of the cars you are allowed to play at the beginning of the game until you get enough money to get a car you like. Had I not payed USD70 I would have stopped playing this game at all.
    I believe that the price model and the lack of options to run at least a few good cars and tracks for "free" at the start of the game is a real shame. PD is completely abusive in this respect - no matter what they claim regarding collectability of cars and real life value. It is absurd to spend USD70 on a game and not be able to have real fun and explore "real" sim racing (at least GT wise) for weeks unless you pay even more.
    I left a lot of other things unmentioned - like the absence of many new cars or always-online issue because that has already been mentioned several times.

    - AI is pointless - cannot have a proper race against the AI because it's way too easy and all over the place. - Sport mode penalty system is just completely broken. 50:50 chance you get a penalty if someone else takes you out. No one seems capable of driving properly even on SR S. - Sport mode vehicle choices are often irrelevant because one car will be significantly quicker than the others even with bop on. Means every car in every lobby is the same. - menus are janky. - - Trophies are so boring and lazy - so many options to make these fun but instead they are grindy. A lot of them are bugged as well. Had good fun in the cafe menus but the rest of the game let it down.
    Money payout is rubbish. Microtransaction grab.

It’s **** PG 12. WTF. And the best thing is: you’re almost 100% guaranteed to pick the **** item out of the spins. As the game grants you "gifts“ probably just to fix you up to buy more of that stuff, and you open them, you will notice, that you’ll get the lowest possible reward for like 9/10 so called "gifts". The other one time, you ask? You get the second worst rewards. Not kidding. If you’ve got a 1Star-Gift it was always exclusively 2,000 credits. On the 2star-gifts it was 10,000 credits (which ofc is the lowest there) and on my first 3star-gift I got a whooping 5,000. I mean… at this point, I’d rather you NOT "gift" me **** and just let me be.
    Also… it’s **** atrocious that you make the good cars barely available by raising prices on an artificial market that only you and your nans know how to manipulate probably… I mean… it’s a high end polished game. I’m sure Polyphony went out of their way to design a good GT. But then some douchbag piece of **** C-level exec was like: you know what? We’re not milking this content enough! Let’s FLOOD THIS **** WITH MICRO TRANSACTIONS BABY. YEE-HAAAH. In total: brilliant game. Awesome and super-quick VR update. But then… FLOODED with the most atrocious and scammy microtransaction system you’ve ever seen. It’s on **** battlefrontII-level. Honestly Sony… you’re lucky you don’t have headquarters here. I would take a dumb in you lobby so **** big, you’d still smell it when developing GT10. So you don’t **** forget.

What the hell happened to the menu races, just stopped?? Cars that cost Squllions of dollars and they are useless in races. The rotation stars where 99% of the time you ALWAYS get the lowest possible prize. Wish I could get the three gold bars JUST ONCE!! Opposition cars on hard racing tyres in the wet that go better than you when you’re on intermediate or wet tyres????? I still love the game but the developers need to get back to basics and look at the things that made the game great which was GT2 and 3 and don’t overthink it. Not everyone plays online. Lastly, not everyone has a racing wheel, I just use the standard controller. Make cars a little easier to handle when using this. Rant over!! Expand

    Graphics are pretty decent, I would say an 8/10. Game play is decent and controls are nice and would rate 4/10.

    Overall, 1/10 due to the greedy money grab that ruins the reward system in gameplay when earning award tickets. Days in and every single tickets rewards the lowest possible award. Seeing the direction this game has taken, Gran Turismo 7 should have just been named Gran Turismo Omega because it will be the last one I play.

    - no fov adjustment
    - no wheel configuration of any useful sort (two sliders for ffb strength are EVERYTHING)
    - no pedal configuration or calibration
    - no UI configuration
    - pushy microtransactions
    - slow progress and takes time to get to fun content
    - multiplayer requires unlocking with couple of hours of gameplay
    - a lot of text to scroll down like in 90's rpgs

    It's been almost 10 years since we have gotten full Gran Turismo experience.
    And I hate to say it - I'm slightly disappointed.



    Not by content - there is a LOT of cars and activities.

When it comes to tracks it's not as good - stable selection of known tracks and way too many of imaginary ones that games tends to focus during single player campaign.

Missions, quests, licenses guide you towards progression that means new cars and track. And it is slow - after 20hrs in i'm still somewhere near the start.
    Of course game pushes microtransactions everywhere to remind you that it does not need to be that slow, and you can buy progress.

What is not really bad is that very often you are forced into worst possible car/track combo that is just not fun to drive.
    On top of that those involving „AI” are basically putting you in the end of a computer generated cars (it's not AI) that are glued to their line and don't react at all to your presence, so they end up being more of an annoyance than competition.


    Multiplayer is still fun, just got turned into best combo of tuning parts to win instead of be faster to win. Differences in cars are way bigger than what you will get using default setups vs custom ones in real simulators.



    And what is worst - it's a failure in technical department - not graphics as those are excellent for console standards but all other aspects -
    want to change FOV? Forget about it - forced to sit really close to 75" TV and feel like a kid in a truck with everything out of scale and problems with judging distance and speed? Bad luck pal.


    Want to adjust pedals deadzone? No way to do it.


    Want to adjust details in forcefeedback? Nope
    Want to adjust wheel angle? Not even nope - even if you want to do it from the wheel itself on start of every race game will autoadjust to what you've set on a wheel making it virtually impossible to change.


    Want to adjust UI so it does not burn out your OLED? Nah
    Want to move around UI elements so driver list does not impose on rear view mirror? He he he

    So still a Gran Turismo game. Nothing more. If you plan to play once in a while on a controller - go for it, you will have a blast. If you want something deeper - that is not a game for you. Get ACC or even first Asseto Corsa. GT7 feels like game from early 2000s with modern graphics - more of a remaster than new original title. When it comes to PC competition - it's way behind. Titles like Automobilista2 just live it in the dust when it comes to driving mechanics, fun and modern engines.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game makes me sad.

    Gran Turismo is/was a great racing sim. Made by the best company Polyphony Digital. Japanese company. Best ever

    This game however does not live up to the hype. They start you off with a 15-20 min intro video because its their 25th anniversary and they really want you to care, also its unavoidable. You can turn that option off in the menu afterwards. Next up is their godawful music rally. Go fast to keep the beat of the music going. That's really lame and also unavoidable. There's not much freedom to the game like in GT Sport. Every thing has to be unlocked one at a time thru some average Joe at the central hub of the game called GT Cafe. I like the hub layout, reminds me of gt1 kind of. The average Joe gives you these "menus" which tell you what 3 cars you are going to earn at the end of each race. But very specific cars. One menu might be Camaro's, next menu can be mustangs. and at the end of each menu, average Joe has to tell you a history lesson upon every menu completion. I don't forget about the amount of cut scenes

    The awards to daily distance driven suck now. and they have these things called "roulette tickets" that come in 3 tiers ( im guessing because i got a 2 star ticket). You are no longer just winning cars anymore. No. you get either a car, tiny money, medium money, large money or a car part. I'm level 9, all my daily workouts and tickets I've earned have been mostly "tiny money." One other bad part about this game is that it will "invite you" to buy a car in game, one of the ones that cost $2M credits or $26 irl. Things are forced upon you, and you can't play multiplayer until you unlock it at level 7 or something. This game is kind of disappointing, feels like there something missing from it. I'm glad I didn't pay the $110 for the anniversary edition

The next generation realism is primarily felt in the outlier situations, and less so in the regular races. The extreme high speeds of the super cars feels absolutely next gen, it is difficult to put into words, but it is unlike any other game - you can truly feel the delicate grip you have to the road, you can hear the wind speed outside of the vehicle, the very subtle camera trembling, it’s all incredible. Another extreme is the handling while going through elevation changes, you can really feel the suspension of the vehicle getting harder or softer when cornering while uphill or downhill. The drastic changes in handling during extreme environment conditions such as rain is very tough and you can feel the fight with the poor grip. The attention to detail is fantastic, for example on a sunny morning track with recent rain, naturally the asphalt dries faster in the sun, so the side of the road that is still in the shade has wet asphalt and worse grip, it’s insane. The dynamic weather and time changes are fantastic. The World Mode menu system was overhyped, it really is just a new presentation of the same menu you would expect. It’s fine, but I find it odd that the based a lot of the hype around this menu system. It almost feels like they added menus and dialogue which take longer for you to actually get into races.

    The graphics are stunning, as expected. I personally preferred the ray tracing mode for this game, because the game automatically shows you a replay after you complete your race, and it’s definitely noticeable in the replays. The sound design actually made a bigger impact than I thought - some vehicles are loud and roaring in the cockpit view, while some of the other vehicles are less loud but you can hear the wind resistance and gravel hitting the underneath of the vehicle more clearly. I wasn’t really thinking of the sound design going into the next generation of sim games, but the acoustics of sound bouncing off of surfaces in tunnels and against tall walls makes a huge difference in the replays. Otherwise the sounds are a relatively forgettable soundtrack and the same sound effects you remember from the other GT games.

    For racing sim fans, this is the ultimate package, and it reaches new levels of realism. With that being said, I would love to see the GT team take a shot at something new next time. I really like the idea of a full fledged rally game. Imagine racing through heavily wooded areas in a snow storm with the realism of Gran Turismo.

    Now to comment on what everyone else is whining about. I don’t like the always online, but it doesn’t bother me. I don’t like the the micro transactions, but it doesn’t bother me. The game really increases with the grinding when you start transitioning from the beginner/sports cars to the super cars, they just become very difficult to attain. It doesn’t ruin the experience, but I just don’t have the time to grind hours for one car to move forward. This doesn’t really begin until around 10 hours into the game. I think this was a terrible move, but it can be easily reversed by just allowing you to sell your extra cars like in any other Gran Turismo game. It lowered my score from an 8 to a 7.

    There are just too many things that are wrong in GT7 to make it a good game
    and to fix that they need to create a completely new game which will never happen.

    ------
    I have to write a re-review about GT7.
    I don't care a lot about the game-economics 'anymore'.

    What's really bad is the reacing A.I. and the races themself.
    There are almost only rolling starts. Totally bul** and not real racing. No qualifying either.
    It's always a catch up game where you finally overtake the 1st one in the last part of the race.
    Also at the beginning of a catch up race the 1st could be miles ahaed. How dumb is that, please?
    On the way to that you have to fight with utterly stupid A.I. breaking like idiots.
    I'm PIT maneuver'ed the whole f** time. The stupid A.I. is often on rails and occasionly reacts 'normal'. That's game in year 2022!

    My advice to PD: Stop adding cars and improve the A.I. plus create more campagne based standing start races.
    And the most important thing -> Play that game by yourself PD! I can't imagine that that happened in a neutral point of view...

    This game is practically unplayable with the amount of greed packed into it, and literally unplayable with the DRM

    As of April 7/22 credits rewards have been fixed. The game feels much more fair now. Get out there and race!

    Gran Turismo 7 has a lot to offer. Much more than GT Sport or even GT 5 at launch. The ontrack racing is smooth, and fun. The graphics are top notch, but perhaps could probably be a little better. The soundtrack is great, as are the sound effects. That said, there are 2 glaring flaws that are holding this game back from am 8 or higher..

    It seems Jim Ryan and other PlayStation

    It seems Jim Ryan and other PlayStation executives have seen the success of other greedy predators (WOOPS, publisher's) like Phil Spencer and Xbox (who's Forza Motorsport 5, 6, and 7, Halo Infinite, Halo 5, Halo Wars 2, Gears 4 & 5 all have filthy Micro-transactions in them) and pushing Polyphony Digital to do the same. Some cars can cost up to $29 real world dollars. It's foul, and has been unlike Sony up to this point. Now, I will not be overly slamming Polyphony Digital for the always online connection for the Single Player portion of GT 7. But it is unacceptable. I personally have come not to expect much from PlayStation when it comes to server side support because they have routinely cut support for their games much earlier than their main rivals Xbox. That said, it is still BS as no Single Player portion of any game should rely on internet connection to servers. Stop it.

    Games are not a "Service". And they should not be treated as such. They are art

    Graphics and gameplay are good. Maintains the classic gran turismo feel while being modern at the same time. The variety of cars and tracks is great. Weather effects spices things up. Some nice licences to complete like in og ps2 gran turismo games.

    The game lacks a proper carrer mode and the main progression is tied to what should have been some side challenges for collecting cars and learning about them. The game has a lot of inconveniences for the player. You need to switch menus for things that should be available all in the same menu section. Car maintenance and tuning are separated into different menus screens, wide body kits and regular body kits are also separated in this manner. To simply change the colour of your car you need to create a livery project, choose your main color, save the project and apply it to your car. Cars are separated into 3 different dealerships and the opportunity to buy some cars is only available for a limited time. This wouldn’t be an issue if the game wasn’t obviously putting money roadblocks in your way to try and have you spend on micro transactions. You are unable to sell your cars but the game let’s you buy in game money as micro transactions.

    Overall its has fun gameplay and a lot of content but it doesn’t have a player first mentality like the old games had.

    They fixed it. No one forced to do microtransactions, no more. Now it is a great game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pushing micro transactions. Pretty lame, base game good but no payouts for long missions and the removal of the only money “grind method” which is now been reduced to less than 50% of what is was not mentioning invites of cars expiring and cars which are literally imposible to obtain.

    I got hyped with the gameplay graphics before launch and when I finally played it got so disappointed. The graphics aren't that good, you can only play a single-player if your internet is on and an awful monetization.

    Legendary franchise ruined with microtransactions and always online. What the hell. I paid full price.

    Greedy company moves. Don’t play it, don’t but it. You pay full price for games to get the full content of the games, not some micro transactions galore.

    absolutely shocking game you'll have more chance of getting a McLaren F1 in real life then in-game, that is unless you're willing to grind the same boring race for 90hrs or pay £200 in microtransactions.

    The game graphic is awful, those CGI game trailers with "RTX" was so amazing, but game... Is not even close to it

What do you think happens when Polyphony decides that they no longer want to waste resources on the game’s servers and shuts them down? Do you think you’ll still have the “masterpiece” experience? Not a chance. You’ll get the bare bones offline version. You’ll have access to the cars you may have been suckered into purchasing but your options are completely lacking. Don’t believe me? Disconnect from the internet, see what you have access to. The jazzy music and history lessons doesn’t fool me and I want a game I can play 5-6 years down the line and still have the same amazing experience I had when I first loaded it up. With this that’s simply not possible. Expand

    I signed up for a Metacritic account just to rate the game concerning it's horrible reward system. It is so bad and obvious how they want you to spend money on credits that I can only come to the conclusion they are hoping there are a massive amount of children and people with disabilities who are impulsive buyers or undiscerning.

It is so bad and obvious how they want you to spend money on credits that I can only come to the conclusion they are hoping there are a massive amount of children and people with disabilities who are impulsive buyers or undiscerning. Being a father of an autistic son, I can tell you first hand I would immediately have to enable parental controls to avoid him spending his entire paycheck. It's pretty sad when you have a reward system that is so greedy did it causes one to think about those who are mentally challenged or parents who are unaware they're checking account is about to get drained. It seems like Gran Turismo was thinking of those with special needs and the tragedies that surprise a single mother when they wake in the morning and their bank accounts drained because of a video game that is so greedy when it comes to their reward system that it's obvious they were thinking about the mentally disabled and impulsive buyers to make sure there is no door that's closed to avoid a single micro transaction. The ratio of money they will make from microtransactions compared to the odds of what the average player will make actually playing the game is obscene and disgusting and they should be ashamed of themselves to make such a good product for the sake of weaponizing it as a monetization scheme.

    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.
