Professional reviews from gaming critics
Gran Turismo 7 is a car-lover’s dream. Whether you love cars already or have just started your journey into being a car person, GT7 wants to welcome you to the community with open arms, get you up to speed and give you everything it can to help you enjoy cars in whatever ways it’s able. It has a wealth of car history to share, incredible feeling driving and some of the best visuals I’ve seen in a driving game. There are some cars I wish were included (Mount Panorama and no Aussie V8 Supercars? Come on, mate!) and the always online requirement might be a deal breaker for some, but even with all...
PSVR 2 landed on February 22, 2023 and one of the big announcements was the addition of a VR mode for developer, Polyphony Digital’s, Gran Turismo 7. This was an announcement long in coming and one time, before COVID, the expectation was GT7 would be a PSVR 2 launch title.
Gran Turismo 7 has brought the series up to speed with an improved racing experience and loads of new content.
Kazunori Yamauchi wasn't lying when he promised a paradise that celebrated car culture. Gran Turismo 7 is undoubtedly the most immersive driving sim out there today. It celebrates the series' rich history from 1997 and brings many new additions into the formula. For all fans, from those who just want to drive some cool looking cars to those who are die-hard competitive racers, this game has got something for you.
Gran Turismo has been a gold standard for the simulation-racing genre for over 25 years. The franchise has continually served as a showcase for PlayStation’s latest hardware both from visual and technical standpoints. Gran Turismo 7 is no different in this regard; the racing has never felt more precise, nor have the vehicles ever looked truer to life. However, in the time since that initial entry, the field has caught up to Gran Turismo. This new entry is still an excellent driving simulation, but it’s no longer lapping the competition.
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.
There are some misgivings to find within its design, on and off the track, but Polyphony's meticulous craftsmanship handedly surpasses them.Reviewer's Note: The majority of my experience is reflective of Version 1.09 and beyond. I wasn't personally affected [...]
Many will look at the microtransactions and be instantly turned off by what’s on offer from Gran Turismo 7. However, if you can look past the cash grab, it is a racing game capable of generating some amazing and intense racing experiences that even fully fledged racing sims would be jealous of.
Gran Turismo 7 delivers some of the tightest driving a fan of the racing genre could ask for in a gorgeous package hampered by aggressive microtransactions and always online requirements.
Frenetic racing, stunning looks, and some faces in discs bring Gran Turismo to the next generation, and it's… exactly what you think it's going to be.
Jeremy Clarkson once said in the launch trailer for Forza Motorsport 4, back in 2011, that we, lovers of speed, car enthusiasts, were an endangered species. In this day and age, loving cars is seen as being a villain to the future of the planet. As he masterfully mentions in that trailer, video games are the true modern safe haven for us gearheads, a place we can collect and race beautiful machines without feeling guilty, without worrying about the harm we’re doing for the environment. Nowa...
