Time will tell how fans will react to Gran Turismo 7's microtransactions, but putting them aside, what's there is still a deep racing game experience that will keep fans of the genre busy for hours on end. It's a gorgeous racing game and while it's not going to be knocking down any boundaries to convert non-racing game fans, Gran Turismo 7 should greatly appeal to its target audience.
A synthesis of classic GT and GT Sport, but always with the usual defects of the license. GT7 remains a beautiful love letter to automotive history and a very good "simarcade",
Gran Turismo 7 is the same amazing simulation-focused racer elevated by VR in ways I wasn’t expecting.
Gran Turismo, which has returned with a more beautiful and realistic appearance, meets the expectations of a wide range of users, from beginners to core fans. In addition to the weather and time changes, the expressiveness of small details such as tire smoke has been improved, and the realistic feeling of the race scene has been greatly improved. While the revival of traditional gameplay is a welcome one, the fact that it sticks too far with the old style lacks freshness and leads to a thirst for new play.
Mixing the original GT's trendsetting format with GT Sport's stern but very successful focus on competitive online racing, Gran Turismo 7 makes a few errors but is a potent podium performance from developer Polyphony Digital.
Polyphony Digital celebrates 25 years of its series with the return of the campaign and the most focussed and finessed Gran Turismo to date.
Gran Turismo 7 is hard to fault. I can't think of another racing game I've accidentally played for 5 hours straight without leaving the couch. The racing is thrilling, the cars are a joy to drive, the tracks are magnificent, and the career is well structured. I haven't even talked about the photo mode, which is one of the best I've seen in a game. All the screenshots in this review were taken with it. I haven't fully dipped into multiplayer yet either, which has the potential to spawn a thriving competitive scene. There's just so much, and I can't imagine wanting to play another racing sim any time soon.
Everything that made GT Sport so good, plus everything that made early Gran Turismo games so good. A simply stunning driving game and a superb showcase for PS5.
