Gran Turismo 7 Reviews
Gran Turismo 7 takes all the good bits of Gran Turismo's past, shakes it up, and adds a sprinkling of car culture to sweeten the deal.
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.
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 a gorgeous celebration of all things driving. It's splendid presentation and 400 + car homage to the world's favorite vehicles is a car lover's dream. What it isn't, however, is a true 'real driving simulator.' While easily a step up from GT Sport in offerings and presentation, those looking for an exhilarating gameplay experience will likely be disappointed.
Gran Turismo 7 is without a doubt a masterpiece, both visually and in terms of innovation. The game has not escaped its origins and, presents a wonderful continuity to the franchise's reputation. The variety of vehicles is quite impressive, the amount of content that the game presents us is challenging and above all the gameplay is incredible. Driving in Gran Turismo 7 is without a doubt a unique experience and we recommend it to everyone… especially if you have access to a steering wheel and headphones. However, certain decisions are difficult to understand. This being the 8th game in the franchise, one would expect better choices from the developers, above all considering the mistakes they made in the previous title (Gran Turismo Sport). The impossibility of playing without being connected to the internet, the vehicles that, even with the microtransactions, are almost impossible to acquire and the weak focus given to local multiplayer are restrictions that can make anyone legitimately "turn up their nose" when looking at this game. If we ignore these details, Gran Turismo 7 is without a doubt a mandatory game for car lovers and without a doubt a title recommended by us!

Gran Turismo 7 does self-sabotage its first impressions with painful roadblocks, but its exceptional eye for detail and improvement should not go unnoticed.
Gran Turismo 7 is the most complete and fun installment of the saga. The driving is a delight and the whole game exudes passion and love for motorsports, but at the same time, the steps forward are too subtle and elements that have been in the players' sights for years, such as collisions, have not been polished. and artificial intelligence. Gran Turismo 7 is an evolution, but it is not the great revolution that the saga has pending.

Gran Turismo 7 is trying to catch up after the disappointment of the last opus with the return of players' favourite modes as well as the addition of some new features. The PS5 version offers a higher image refresh rate in addition to being closer to Polyphony Digital's goal of providing a realistic experience. Unfortunately, the behaviour of artificial intelligence, the absence of real visual damage, sometimes very low quality textures in the backgrounds, the omnipresence of menus and the feeling of repetitiveness that sets in quickly do not allow the title to rise as high as its competitors. The game should, however, satisfy a large majority of first-time fans who will undoubtedly feel nostalgic for the good old days of the franchise.

Gran Turismo 7 is a smorgasbord of esoteric ideas that create a more than solid racing title. The forced history lessons can break the flow of going in and out of races for some, while others might hate that there was so much hype around elements that feel superfluous since they don't affect the races. The campaign flow is excellent for those looking for granular structure, but others will hate how it locks some prominent modes for too long. The actual racing remains absolutely brilliant, however, to the point where some players will ignore the quirks because the act of playing is excellent enough for those of all skill levels to enjoy. For those who have waited this long for another mainline entry, Gran Turismo 7 is a grand reward for their patience.
Gran Turismo 7 is a welcome return for the series after the lackluster GT Sport, even though there are some flaws that are mostly associated with microtransactions. The visuals and racing physics are top-notch as always and the game’s unique campaign that teaches you about the history of the automotive industry will keep car enthusiasts and newbies alike engaged for hours as they play through Gran Turismo 7.
Gran Turismo 7 is a car culture experience that no car enthusiast should miss.

Gran Turismo 7 is an excellent racing simulator for those looking for a more realistic experience or to learn more about cars. There's a ton of things to do, cars to collect, and tracks to master with the game's great driving model. While you can feel the sheer passion the developers have for the subject, it does come with some flaws like very slow and tedious progression gates and persistent microtransaction prompts.
From its photo-realism to its pinpoint handling and extensive amount of additional features, Gran Turismo 7 is another first-party PS5 success and a new benchmark for performance and visuals on the console.
Gran Turismo 7 isn’t the second coming of racing games, and it doesn’t need to be. It still captures that feeling of spending hours and hours admiring your garage and flipping through car facts from a few of the best entries in the series, and still feels like a big-budget racer.
Gran Turismo 7 is a great racing game. It's clear that Polyphony Digital learned from the missteps of Gran Turismo Sport to deliver a game that, in conjunction with being an extremely solid experience, is the return to its roots that fans were hoping for. While it's certainly not an arcade experience, it does enough to be approachable for those who are not experts but want a deep racing game with a lot of content.

Despite its multiplayer shortcomings, Gran Turismo 7 is a terrific racing experience. I love the emphasis on car collection and the respect paid to the history of automobiles and racing culture. Gran Turismo 7 provides some of the best driving mechanics available and gives you several guided ways in which to engage with it. While it sometimes spends too much time off the track, every long cutscene is clearly done with love, and that sentiment shines through even more on the track.
Gran Turismo 7 is an excellent racing game thanks to its huge scope, excellent driving physics and great technical implementation.

Playstation 4 and 5 consoles finally got the Gran Turismo game they deserved. Despite its minor flaws, the real driving simulation series is back to its roots with Gran Turismo 7.

Gran Turismo 7 makes slight additions to the vastly improved Gran Turismo Sport. But the new installment blows its older brother out of the water in terms of content. Those who liked the fifth and sixth installments will be at home in the seventh. Aside from a few shortcomings, it's a great racing experience that even newcomers will enjoy thanks to the assists, while the matadors will buzz with joy. The cars behave exactly as you'd expect in situations.
