    Update resolved all the issues I had with the game. Very positive that the devs are listening to the community, I will be playing this game for years to come.

    Great game as of v1.11 and shows that Polyphone understood they made a mistake and are rectifying it - in terms of gameplay and the current state of the game it is great and the game has a bright future ahead of it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So...as you can see from the other reviews microtransactions and always online are ever so present in this game and it obviously brings about some very unfavorable feelings. The actual game though like playing it is pretty spectacular. Great tuning options and courses and layouts are sweet. Weather is so nuce too. But PD and Sony really are going to regret what theyve done with this game...a lot of longtime fans are giving up on it. Deservingly so. Servers are currently down for who knows what...but hey KoFXV just shadow dropped DLC...so more time for that now. :) Also gtplanet forums have some dope memes about the mess this is. And...a ton of ppl arguing on the internet too...so...yea... Expand

    Gran Turismo 7 Beta
    The Real Driving Simulator

    Find Your (Off) Line

    Good points= Realistic Graphics,wet weather handling,the same as previous Gran Turismo's tbh

    Bad points= There was alot of hype about the weather and how great the clouds were, but the elephant in the room is unless you are driving using the in car view you cant see it starting,stopping or actually raining at all. If you use any other view you can hear the rain and notice the track getting getting darker in colour but you cant see any rain failing so if you play with the volume low you suddenly find the car sliding about. If you look to the left bottom side of the screen theres a icon showing how much standing water is on the track. To be fair once theres a lot of water on track you can see puddles. Other games have done the weather effects better on previous gen consoles. For a nex gen ps5 console game it looks like to much time was focused on the cars looking great and everyone forgot to notice that playing using any view but in car that no rain could be seen failing. Apart from the graphics overhaul,sound improvement, tweaked handling, the game seems stuck in a time loop and hasn't moved on. At present the servers are down and because you need a online connection it can't be played properly.
    Not enough cars, more expensive to buy the cars, trying to get you to buy real money in game credits to progress. Cut down amount of one player races. The cars can't be sold like on previous GT etc
    A missed opportunity tbh considering how big a budget, how big the resources are of the developer it could of been so much better.
    Im old enough to be around when GT1 was originally launched and it was ground breaking at the time and over versions and time it improved. ive spent thousands of hours playing all the GT games and i hate to say it but im disappointed considering i bought the ps5 because GT7 only months away from coming out.
    I remember when Driveclub was released and it was down scored because of the sheer demand for the game the servers would crash, but at least the one player game was still playable if you didn't have a internet connection. Talking of Driveclub id say the weather effects are still better the GT7 at present.

    Coming from GT5, which was generally lacklustre for me, I hoped that GT7 would fare better.

    Coming from GT5, which was generally lacklustre for me, I hoped that GT7 would fare better.

    However, the prices for cars, coupled with low payouts and the inability to sell any unwanted cars, shows that the game was built with microtransactions in mind (no surprise then, that these were also revealed at launch).

    Access to desired features (GT Auto, Brand Central) was curiously sandbagged until much later in the game, which to me, only serves to add to the difficulty of play for the first few hours.

    On top of that, within the span of two weeks, the game has been unable to run properly, with now two significant updates to fix bugs. Moreover, it's presently unplayable even in singleplayer, due to errors with servers and the fact that even singleplayer MUST be online.

    Overall, this had the makings of a great game, but at nearly $90 for the Anniversary Edition and $60.00 for standard, being unplayable/non-functional after only two weeks of being out? Look elsewhere.

You can tell some people on the team really love cars and wanted to make a good game. However this game has been ruined by multiple unforced errors. I can’t possibly recommend the game at any upfront price in its current state. First, the required internet connection at all times is disruptive for those of us only interested in single player. The game has been completely inaccessible for over 24 hours at the time of this writing as the developer struggles with a server outage. Insane! Second is an unusually greedy microtransaction system. After a very short series of single player tasks, it becomes very difficult to earn enough to acquire more cars without a massive time grind. The economy was already broken, but the developer introduced a patch to make it even worse! This is something you might expect from free-to-play shovelware, but not from a full-price game pushed heavily by Sony. Unfortunately given my experience with this game so far, I can’t trust this developer to act with integrity and would strongly recommend avoiding this title. Expand

It's been review bombed by Reddit users following maintenance on the server. Unfortunately an issue came up when the game was being updated which resulted in 2 hour maintenance turning into about 36 hours. Not ideal, but the alternative was the possibility of save data being corrupted if the more serious issue was not resolved, and I know what people would have complained about more.

    The other complaint is 'microtransactions'. Please be careful in trusting what you read in the negative reviews. I've seen comparisons to an FTP mobile game. This is nonsense. There is the option to add credits via microtransactions, but they there is absolutely no requirement to put in your real money to progress.

    There is a significant amount of entitlement from users review bombing the game, people want the rarest most expensive cars in their garage within days of buying the game. If you do too, then this might not be the game for you. You have to put in time to buy the best cars. As it should be in my opinion.

    People who remember playing early Gran Turismo's will know. You used to have to grind an oval track over and over again to tune your cap car, only to buy another crap car and start the grind all over again. In comparison, on GT7, I've got 750,000 credits in the bank, been gifted 40+ cars in my garage I haven't even used yet, and you get gifted cars to use in the next stage of each campaign so you don't even have to buy a new car when you move car class. I haven't had to buy a new car yet to progress. Not a single one. So if you see people saying "I've played all games in the series and this is predatory etc etc"... Ignore it, they're lying.

    Now onto the game. It's great, the racing is great, the feeling of the cars is great, the game looks absolutely brilliant. The only racing game where I can happily sit and watch the replays of every race I do. It has great tuning options and some nice modding options. Livery creation and sharing is fantastic, and the showcase photo mode is really nice to experiment with.

    If you like racing games and have played and enjoyed previous GT games then it'd worth getting. If you like racing games but want every car unlocked within the first fortnight of owning the game with minimal effort, it's probably not for you.

    My own complaint would be the length of the campaign currently. You can smash through it, and then just carry on with races that aren't part of the campaign or create your own races. If you like racing, like I do, that's fine, it's extremely enjoyable to play. If you need a campaign path for the game to stay relevant to you then again, this may not be for you. For now. I say for now, because they will be adding more content in the future. Maybe give it a year and revisit the game then to see what new content has been added to the game. Summary, ignore the ridiculously low user scores, they do not paint any sort of realistic picture about the game. If you just like racing and don't mind working towards earning new cars, then you'll love this game.

    If you want everything from the start and only want to race a few races to be able to afford the most expensive car in the game, then this won't be for you.

    It was and still is a great racing game. Stunning cars but somewhat sloppy on the rest. For instance when it get dark it's like someone hits a lightswitch.

This game is designed to be online because the intent is too not segregate SP and MP and create a social platform with seamlessly moves between modes, while also replicating car culture meet ups and clubs. Yes it does mean SP content isn’t 100% available offline and they need to do a better job of changing that so more gamers can appreciate the game as always online is realistic for many. MTX? If your goal is collect every car then the MTX in this game make it almost impossible not to spend real money, BUT collecting was designed to be only a small aspect of the game.

    If you enjoy circuit-based racing games and looking at beautifully modelled cars it really is a joy. The graphics are not quite where I'd like them to be, it pays not to look too closely or you will see the occasional pop-in and some odd, almost stuttering, reflections on the cars. But when you're engrossed in a race, trying desperately to get that 3rd place to progress, you won't notice.

    I've not been playing for long, only got 30 cars or so. Two I won on the 'lottery', so although you often 'win' the lowest credit amount it does give you some nice rewards. I've yet to not be able to progress because I ran out of credits. You don't need every car and so far found you don't need to spend much on upgrades to be winning races.

    I'm sure it'll get harder and the credits will need to be spent wisely later on, but I really don't see a need to spend anything on MTX later. As for the always online? Well I am always online anyway, so I don't mind.

    Is it a 10/10 game? No, maybe 8.5/10?. Why did I rate it 10/10? To try and counter the ridiculous review bombing going on.

This game is speculated to last the next 6-7 years, essentially until the next mainstream PlayStation is to release so there should be lots of content for players to get through, and right now, that is the case. The game is slightly limited when you first start off, but once you're on your way it only gets more fun. This is from someone who got into Gran Turismo only at the launch of GTS, so maybe I'm not entirely correct, but still this is a game worth playing. It's still in infancy too, so there’s still lots yet to see. Expand

    I’m amazed at the number of negative reviews of this game in response to the recent events. Prior to the server outage and credit changes, nearly everyone that played it loved the game.

    I get that people feel slighted by the credit changes and I will admit that the outage was probably the not the best time to introduce that, but it doesn’t detract significantly from my enjoyment of the game. It’s still the same beautiful racing masterpiece that it was before the update. Sure, it will take a few more races/credits to purchase the more expensive cars, but that could also prevent us from growing bored of the game sooner by obtaining them more easily. Prior to the update, I was pretty impressed with how quickly I was earning credits with minimal effort anyway.

    People worked incredibly hard to make this game as good as it is, and it’s impossible to deliver something that is flawless and pleases everyone. Leadership may not have had the best judgement in this situation, but it doesn’t completely negate the majority of what makes this game great. Prior to the release of this game, I only owned a PS3 that I barely used 2-3 times a year to play GT6. GT7 was the reason I purchased a PS5, and it has reignited my passion for the series and gaming in general.

    Looking forward to many more years of fun with GT7.

For those who want to finish the game in like a few weeks there is a possibility of spending real money on buying cars but I don't think it is the Gran Turismo way. Since childhood I remember that I had to work hard and race a lot to be finally able to buy that special car. Kind of made it more of an achievement. Happy that the recipe is back and even improved. A perfect game for real Gran Turismo fans. Expand

    Gegen die ganzen negativen Bewertung kann ich eher vom Gegenteil berichten.
    In Game Käufe habe ich bis jetzt nicht tätigen müssen und habe 51h Spielzeit. Wenn man nicht ständig das Geld was man in rennen aufgibt und vernünftig wirtschaftet hat man eig keine Credit Not. Ist ein guter GT Teil. Online Zwang ist unnötig und dumm. Insgesamt eher gut als schlecht

    The main thing to know about Gran Turismo 7 is that it is amazing. It is a wonderful racer and the likes of Rivals such as Forza, Grid and others can only wish they were as good. The level of detail, the handling of the cars, the sheer love of cars and their history. Gran Turismo 7 has it all and deserves to by up there as one of the greatest racers of all time.

The graphics are the best in any game right now, adding weather effects and 24 hour lighting to all of the tracks just makes to world seem more alive. The tracks have always been the best designed for techincal racing IHMO and the online racing portion is by far the best in the industry. It's like an automotive theme park for real world cars in the most amazing tracks, and soon, hopefully, for the Vision Gran Turismo cars again. The level of attention to detail and perfection is really breathtaking.

    The game itself could be very good, but microtransactions from hell are ruining it. Cars can cost up to 200$ - this is no joke. Grinding these credits has been made more time consuming with the latest patch, which is just a joke.

    Edit: They reacted and made it more easy to earn money, they will implement selling cars, too. Im fine with that.

    While the core gameplay was excellent right out of the gate, Polyphony have now responded to overwhelming user feedback which has led to them tweaking the reward payout per race to a much more reasonable level.

    Updated review following patch 1.11:
    While the core gameplay was excellent right out of the gate, Polyphony have now responded to overwhelming user feedback which has led to them tweaking the reward payout per race to a much more reasonable level.
    Making credits to purchase cars up to the 1mil mark no longer feels like a grind, but instead like a rewarding goal to work towards with not too much gameplay time spent.

    Score is set to 8 for me as I think the multiplayer component could do with more work, a general matchmaking besides the 3 weekly races would add more variety, also the ability to populate multiplayer open lobbies with AI would be a welcome addition.

    Original review - Score 0 before patch 1.11:
    Great gameplay and a fantastic driving model is locked behind a predatory microtransaction based economy, what was a suspicion was verified in patch 1.07 when most race rewards were cut significantly.
    Café missions provide around 2-4 hours of good gameplay, however once these are completed you find yourself with little in the way of single player races, licences and circuit experiences provide some additional gameplay but at a significant difficulty hike which to casual users may prove frustrating.
    Online mode is still limited to 3 daily (weekly) races with the occasional championship and open lobbies, I think much of the community would have appreciated a general matchmaking race system and/or the ability to populate open lobbies with AI to create meaningful online races with a full grid.

    In conclusion (If Gran Turismo was your chosen flavour of racing), for offline play try GT6, for online play try GT Sport, IMO GT7 current does a worse job at both the aforementioned titles.

In gt sport AT LEAST they wouldnt shove the option to buy more stuff down your throat i mean literally EVERY TIME you get any credits there's a button that says "top up on playstation store" which is completely shameless considering i paid 100 dollars for this game since i got the anniversary edition but thats besides the point, in gt sport you could buy cars directly for most of the times around 2-4 dollars or so if i remember correctly. But now in gt 7 its a whole ass 20 dollars to get only 2 million credits which is a robbery considering some of the legendary cars are 18 MILLION CREDITS which are INCREDIBLY hard to get by just grinding which is where micro transactions could be useful to get some of those legendary cars but if you were to buy 18 million credits that would be a whoppin 180 dollars! If my calculations are correct which is already like paying for the game 2 WHOLE TIMES TO GET 1 DAMN CAR. ANDDDD if that wasnt bad enough YOU HAVE LIMITED TIME YO BUY THE CARS.
    They also added an invitation system to get certain cars from certain brands which isnt that bad and on paper actually sounds pretty good. How these invites work is that you get one each 2 weeks but they also expire after those 2 weeks so you are forced to grind for those cars or else you'll need to wait god knows how long until you get another invitation for that brand of cars but with how micro transactions are forced down your throat this just feels like another way to make you buy more credits which just gets me mad.
    Apart from that, i loved this game and had a load of fun but im just really pissed at how they went about doing micro transactions
