Gran Turismo 7 Reviews
After the now customary delays, Gran Turismo 7 is here, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the series and a celebration is a fair way of looking at it – it feels like a real ‘best of’ all things Gran Turismo
Gran Turismo 7 is a wonderful celebration of 25 years as the top racing franchise. It looks stunning, and is filled with so much to do.
Polyphony has delivered an airtight flight from the everyday, rich in escape yet rooted in anything but fantasy.
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.
With sumptuous attention to detail, the series' 25th anniversary edition is its most reverent and irresistible yet.
Gran Turismo 7 offers such a rich experience that will please car enthusiasts, it's the purest celebration of car culture that will far exceed expectations.
The Gran Turismo franchise has always impressed me, from 1997 until today. Kazunori Yamauchi had a vision in 1992 of a game that would look and feel just like real life. Gran Turismo 7 hits that mark dead on with the sights, the sounds, the physics, and the animations of real-world driving and real-world racing.
Gran Turismo 7 is the quintessential Gran Turismo and the best of what the series has accrued over its 25 years of existence.
It will be hard to find a game that is as lovingly crafted as Gran Turismo 7. The king of racers is back, and what a triumphant return it is.
Gran Turismo 7 is, indeed, the most perfect fan service we've seen across all video games to date, and that makes it difficult not to love.
Gran Turismo 7 is a sincere declaration of love to motorsport.

A car enthusiast’s dream playground and welcoming to casuals, whatever your skill level, it’s hard not to love Gran Turismo 7. It's tough to find a genuine fault. Every facet is so expertly crafted. Charming, fun and often stunning, Gran Turismo 7 is the series at its best. The real driving simulator is back.
The love that Polyphony Digital has for motor racing seeps through in every pixel, and the final product is a genre-defining victory lap for the Gran Turismo series.
Plenty of other racing games are the equivalent of a big, greasy cheeseburger that tastes wonderful, but Gran Turismo 7 is like visiting a Michelin star restaurant, and they've deconstructed the same burger to become a beautifully presented, fancier meal. It's like the JRPG of racing games, wearing its Japanese development on its sleeve, which is something not often seen in the racing genre. In 2022, Gran Turismo 7 is one of the best racing games available, and undoubtedly the best for pure racing on consoles.
A detailed driving simulation with impressive fidelity and presence in an approachable package, Gran Turismo 7 is confident, handsome, and endearing.
Gran Turismo 7 is the best driving game I’ve ever played. Period. It’s not a hardcore simulation of the likes of Assetto Corsa Competizione or iRacing, but for my money, I now prefer Gran Turismo. It’s the ultimate celebration of something that’s part of Kazunori Yamauchi’s very being and an incredible effort to bring his love for automobiles to the world. See you on the starting line.
A fitting way to celebrate the first year anniversary of Gran Turismo's resurgence, Gran Turismo 7 on PSVR2 is a tour de force showcase that not only brings the vast gulf that exists between the original PSVR and PSVR2 into stark relief, but also how provides a masterclass on how racing can and should work in VR. A triumph that elevates the core experience, I couldn't imagine playing Gran Turismo 7 any other way from now on.
Polyphony Digital is back with a bang, and while some may argue that Forza is a better all-round racing game, there is no reason why we can't enjoy them both, as Gran Turismo 7 is a beast of its own.
