Gran Turismo 7

An gem of a racer, brought down only by (deliberate) reward imbalances to fuel an unnecessary and predatory microtransaction system. Seriously, this is a full price game and one that deserves to be wholly loved by its audience. The pay-to-advance shortcuts are far too enticing when the car prices are this high and the rewards generally this low. I still had a ton of fun with it. The Cafe aspect is wonderful, but ran out of content too quick.

The dirivng itself is super great and every car feels unique and handles differently. The problem is that this game can't decide what it wants to be. A serious race simulator or an accessible arcady racer. There are no rewinds and physics are realistic but autoreset is mandatory and pitstops are automated. There is tyre and fuel consumption but all races in single player are 3-5 laps long. There is dynamic weather and different tyre compounds but no qualifying and no custom multi-race championships. Ultimately the game is fun to complete the campaign and unlock cars but sadly the endgame and replayability is very lacking. Unless you are solely playing multiplayer there is nothing to do in single player after you beat all the missions.

As much as I wanted to love this game it's just not for the avg casual racing gamer. It can get too convoluted with all the tuning and parts. As much as I tried to read and understand it became too much. Then the challenges where they place in you a setting where you don't pick anything basically skill based even on the easiest setting it was taking me multiple tries to complete and quickly became annoying rather than a feeling of achievement. My favorite racing game was Tokyo Extreme Racer and that had some tuning and whatnot but not hardly as complicated and after years of avoiding racing games I decided to give this a try and 10 hours in I decide it to drop it. If you love the idea of spending hours looking at numbers and changing parts just for making your car 1 sec faster then this is for you if your a casual then avoid it.

In terms of pure on-track racing, for me, there’s just no beating Gran Turismo 7. With beautifully realised cars and race tracks, an addictive campaign and exceptional DualSense implementation, as far as I’m concerned, GT7 is the best sim-racer available on any console. Throw in incredible PSVR2 support, and you’re knocking on the door of masterpiece territory. Total playtime: 71 hours

Good game but career mode is too short, a lot of cars which possible to buy only with real money donations

Without internet connectivity, you the game is not yours. Its from a server side play-style :( Imagine the servers are down...and you want to do some tracks or earn some money...or do some licenses...nope..imposible without internet. This is THE LAST GRAN TURISMO GAME I'LL BUY.

Awesome but doesn’t really have the same gt5/6 charm

The latest and greatest Gran Turismo game. It's no slouch!
