Gran Turismo 7 Review - Absolutely Mind-Blowing

If I were to describe Gran Turismo 7 in a few words, it would be as follows: it is a celebration of car culture. It’s an accumulation of everything racing games should be. There is a long running “are video games art?” debate that has been part of the industry’s discourse for several years. My review won’t resolve that debate, but if games are indeed art, then Gran Turismo 7 is proof of that thesis.

It’s an intricately designed product, a beautiful racing game crafted with love and care, and most importantly, it’s true to its soul and core, something that made the original Gran Turismo games a household name all those years ago. Gran Turismo 7 is a triumph for racing games and for Polyphony Digital, and we can’t wait to see what is next for the series.

I remember summer of 98’ I happened to pick up the original with money I made mowing lawns. I couldn’t put the game down and was hooked. I did the same with GT2. I got burnt out by the end of GT 4 so GT7 will be a nice re entry point for me.

Played it most of today, game is amazing. Already had some pretty memorable moments. I managed to flip a 1968 fiat 500. Also had some tense races in the tokyo highways. That map is so narrow and you go so fast through those tunnels it genuinely made me scared I was going to crash every time. The sense of speed in this game is way better than past games.

I bought the game praying it would be great… it’s absolutely outstanding. Nothing on life is perfect, but games should be about immersion, visual prowess, audio genius and GT7 delivers! I am hooked.

GT7 is simply just awesome… and so addictive! I reminisce playing GT1 on PS1, which was ALSO just as addictive! Thanks, Polyphony!

I feel like watching it in videos simply won’t do it justice. The part I’m most looking forward to is the dynamic weather. The way it’s being described sounds mental and unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a racing game on a console.

I wasn't sold on buying this game before launch, but now after this review, I'm convinced to buy it.

The lighting in this game is truly next gen, this year has so many amazing games I fucking LOVE

[PRYDEEE]

Literally have no time to play all these games...just got elden ring and that is at least 70 hours minimum...what an amazing problem to have!

It takes a bit of guidance on how the progress (unlocking circuits) works initially but once you realize that the YELLOW ICON is your guide and that 'the Cafe ' is the hub that you return to to get you next objectives then it'll come together. The Tuning Shop is initially locked but is simple to use. It's an incredible game.

GT3 A-spec is the one to beat for me. GT7 seems like its the closest the series has gotten to that since.

Gran Turismo 1 and 2 are some of my favorite racing games of all time. I can still remember playing the first game as a rental on the ps1 I bought from a friend at school for 60 bucks in the 8th grade. I was hooked and played it regularly for several months. Then the amazing PS2 Gran Turismo came out and me and an old friend played it head to head constantly almost every weekend also for several months. So many awesome replays and just an overall amazing experience as two young overly energized teenagers. It made me love cars and as a 38 year old man now with a Dodge Challenger, I still love cars and cant wait to relive my Junior High and early High School days with this game. Downloading right now on PS5. Awesome to see this franchise still thriving and creating new fans!

The Sun glinting off the cars as they go around the tracks is one of the most realistic interpretations of this gaming has ever seen. It's a shame ray tracing isn't available in racing modes, but the game looks amazing even without it. Such a great last year for racing games. We got Forza Horizon 5, GT7, hell even Grid Legends.

[SahilG]

By far the best narrated and written review of GT7. Didnt expected the game to be that good.

[jariiii_]

I got a Playseat, PS5 and a racing wheel just for this game. I'm thrilled that the reviews are great.

[TheWandererTravelVlogs]

I managed to secure a PS5 a couple weeks ago and got a steering wheel setup purely for this, I can’t wait.

From turbo outrun (first game I ever played), to this! Crazy how much games have progressed over the decades

Guys.. you can debate on how it looks whatever you want (stunning imo) But lets face it.. whats better than starting of with a Honda civic at the Sunday cup..and race you ass off just to get that open-air filter to get you that 4hp extra and win another race. Thinking bout the next car you're gonna purchase etc.. Its about the GT experience, and thats whats back with GT7, for 110%. Everything around it aswell. True car enthousiasts will enjoy a lot, but also newcomers will enter a world of information en knowhow of the car world. history, brands, evolution etc. GT7 is a masterpiece.
