Gran Turismo 7

Our review of Gran Turismo 7, developed by Polyphony Digital. Available March 4, 2022 for PS5 (reviewed) and PS4.

DRM and microtransaction concerns aside, GT7 is a fine addition to the racing game pantheon. Speaking of online, there’s a plethora of online modes building off the solid base of GT Sport, that online multiplayer spinoff I mentioned earlier. Splitting the difference between the best and worst of GT is its soundtrack, an eclectic mix of smooth jazz, classical remixes, and a genre that can only be described as Truly Terrible Rock. As in previous games, GT7 also lets you skirt through most of its single-player mode by relying on the fastest car available. To begin with, every single thing about a vehicle is fully customizable, from internal parts to paint jobs to the many different tweaks you can make to a car’s body, such as fins, modified bumpers, rims, and so much more. Each time you complete a menu, you’re treated to a nice bit of edutainment, as the café owner talks you through a brief history related to the task you’ve completed. The effect is just shy of photorealistic, only the slightly mismatched lighting between background and vehicle any hint that the scene is artificial. For some gearheads, that will be enough – oh damn, there’s the Lancer Evo IV, and is that the Trueno? – but for any player, it’s a tantalizing glimpse of the roster of vehicles you’ll be working to unlock over the course of the game. The cars in GT7 feel like real cars. But the point, really, of GT7 is the very act of building out that collection. It is the racing game we were born to play. That’s a testament to the commitment of developer Polyphony Digital, and the trust placed in them by their corporate overlords at Sony. Arriving nine years after Gran Turismo 6, the hotly anticipated Gran Turismo 7 proves them right.

Gran Turismo fans will welcome the franchise’s latest addition on March 4.

Gran Turismo 7 continues to cater to a specific. That being said, a lot of those supplemental features may be a hindrance to the core experience of racing down a track. The core structure of Gran Turismo 7 is all constructed through the new Gran Turismo Café. This serves as a central hub for players to jump into and be guided through the game as it opens up new opportunities. Gran Turismo 7 accomplishes that thanks to the DualSense controller. There’s a lot of depth and layering within the audio and it delivers a punch when the thunderous engines begin roaring. My biggest takeaway while playing Gran Turismo 7 is that Polyphony Digital has a deep and technical understanding of how to utilize the PlayStation 5. Again, navigating through copious menus to get through to the next one took me out of the experience. While I found myself adoring the moments of racing down a track and hitting the checkered finish line, I was constantly interrupted. Gran Turismo 7 is Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital’s latest venture once again showcases the wonderful world of global car racing. Gran Turismo 7 offers the exact opposite. Gran Turismo 7 is on its final lap, approaching the finish line as the eighth mainline entry in the racing sim series. Oftentimes, however, I find myself taken out of the core gameplay loop and only to take part in extraneous modes and systems.

Tuning definitely makes a difference, but you don’t need to obsess over extremely fine tuning details to experience the main campaign and hours upon hours of car ogling. One of the earlier Menu Books asks you to tune as well, so one way or the other you’ll find yourself at the tuning garage. Everyone’s journey will vary, but broadly speaking you should have many cars to choose from within the first few hours. Drive a lot of different cars, experiment with tuning (more on that below), and basically just find something that feels right to you. And as you collect your first few cars, you’ll be soaking up the insanely gorgeous visuals and legendarily smoooooth tunes. With hundreds of cars, thousands of parts, and reams of information about car culture, it’s easy for new players to see certain menus or screenshots of Gran Turismo 7 and feel overwhelmed. It’s about keeping up with the beats and getting to the next checkpoint. Frontloading these questions may seem like a lot initially, but they quickly set you up for success, as you can immediately apply your settings to the very first race – the new Music Rally feature. The more beats you gain, the longer the distance can drive. When you first launch Gran Turismo 7, you’re asked a handful of questions about how you’d like to drive. Yet if you’re new to the series, Gran Turismo 7 is remarkably easy to get into. the game’s features* are tailored to let you express your love of cars however you like.
