Extremely boring to play, once you do one or two laps of a track you know it, the campaign’s standard is 5… you are just repeating yourself. I found myself thinking about other things while playing. AI’s difficulty is either extremely hard or a total pushover with almost no in between. You start around 30 seconds behind first place and usually catch up to them in 1 or 2 laps, on the other hand you barely get close or in 4-16th which the game treats as a loss. If you are in the lead by 10+ seconds it basically turns into a time trial.

The graphics are gorgeous, no denying that. On specific tracks you can see low poly models change to high poly (particularly the bottom of fences) and now I can't help but notice it, a pretty small issue though.

The loot boxes are total shit, I have gotten the worst prize possible for everyone I have opened except maybe 2? Got a f1 car one time but that was probably like 1 in 10,000 or more. Monetization is pretty scummy, most modern cars are horribly overpriced (upwards of 1 mil) with the option to skip the grind through microtransactions. Also, the transactions are pretty costly for the amount they give 30$AUD for 2 million credits.

the most beautiful game ive ever played graphically. truly a work of art that showcases not only the technology that it runs on flawlessly, but the future of just how realistic games can look.

with that being said, as a gran turismo game, this game fails in every aspect, and that's truly a shame, because this is my first gran turismo game and even i know that this isn't how it's supposed to be. truly a disgusting game in this series that shows just how badly the disconnect between the company and the players has gotten with this series.

Fans waited 5 years for Gran Turismo Sport to get to Gran Turismo 7, and it was not worth the wait. I give this game 3 stars, and one star is for the photo mode. While the game has great graphics and lots of the best cars in the business, it just had too many problems at launch. I played 70 hours and finished all the menus. The grind for credits is miserable; the loot boxes are always unfavorable; and the always online requirement is unnecessary. Months after release, they are still promising better handling of reckless drivers. At one point, the game was the lowest-rated Sony game in Metacritic, with just cause. It's over a year since its release and I still don't think I'll revisit it.

I always keep a Gran Turismo game on deck for whenever I feel like driving. I was beyond excited for this game to release and I bought it day 1, but after diving into it, GT7 was a bit of a disappointment. Thankfully, through continued support from Polyphony, GT7 has blossomed into one of the best Gran Turismo games (in my opinion).

I will say the game is absolutely gorgeous and it sounds and feels amazing - The frustrating part is the heavy emphasis on monetization. Cars are expensive and if you don't have enough credits, the game is sure to let you know that spending your real life money is also an option. Personally, I would much rather pay double the retail price for this game and have none of the microtransactions present. It just feels bad to see all of that in such a gorgeous game.

It felt like the marketing for GT7 was pushing this cool, relaxing cafe where you can hangout, take on new objectives and marvel at the beauty of your current vehicle. In reality, the cafe feels extremely bare bones and is just a place to receive your next objective.

Another frustration is the fact that for a while now, Gran Turismo has had almost exclusively rolling starts for the races in game. It just feels weird that there are no grid starts. Race after race, you begin in last place and have to catch all the way up to first place.

Thankfully, the game has been well-maintained and has a lot on content to play through and a ton of cars to drive. All in all - a great game, just not exactly what I was hoping for.

What a game is this! Gran Turismo 4 was one of the first games I have ever touch in my life and as a huge racing fan I was looking forward to play this one! It was such a magical experience and it's the only Gran Turismo game that gives me the same vibes as I had when I played GT4. The graphics are amazing, for a PS4 game. The handling is nearly perfect and the difficulty is also such a great thing, since it's actually difficult if you use the correct settings in the custom race mode.

The online, also known as sports mode, is a bit of a nightmare from time to time with the time slots the races are in and a weird penalty system, which made my online experience not as enjoyable as the races against bots were, but in the end I had fun with the game.

I am proud to have this in my platinum collection as a well deserved milestone platinum 🏆
