GT7 brings back the World Tour career mode from GT4, which sees players travelling around the world, amassing and upgrading cars to compete in a variety of championships. While Gran Turismo 7’s action on the track is nothing short of brilliant, it’s the action off the track where things start to get a bit more complicated. It’s a lot to navigate, but it feels good when you finally nail it. The track fills up with puddles that can threaten to send your car careening into a ditch, while your brakes basically become all but useless. In other titles, all rain seems to do is make the car a little bit more slide-happy, and while that’s certainly true in GT 7 as well, the rain offers additional obstacles that make the experience more challenging. The weather also changes dynamically too, with instances like sunny races on Tsubaka Circuit sometimes morphing into downpours, adding new challenges to the mix.ĭriving in the rain feels more significant in Gran Turismo 7 than it ever has in other racing games too. Transitioning from day to night in the midst of a race helps make the game feel more real, even if Gran Turismo 7 is on some kind of 5-10 day/night cycle. Gran Turismo 7īeing able to see the sunset mid-race helps amplify the racing experience too, particularly on longer races.

Photo modes were made for games like this, so long as you avoid giving the PS3 looking spectators a dedicated close-up. Racing games are usually the measuring stick for graphics in video games, but seeing the sun set on real tracks like Nürburgring or fictional tracks like Dragon Trail never gets old. Next-gen consoles have been out for nearly 18 months at this point, yet Gran Turismo 7 is simply beautiful to look at. It also helps that Gran Turismo 7 is the most stunning game on PS5. It doesn’t matter what skill level you are, all are encouraged to get on the track and drive. While other racing games incentivise using less assists for more credits, Gran Turismo 7 doesn’t offer rewards of that kind, which could be seen as discouraging learning, but there’s something to be said about not punishing players for choosing (or even requiring) more assists to play. Gran Turismo’s physics and handling demand excellence from the player, but there’s mountains of driving assists and racing line overlays that ensure you’re given all the tools you need to succeed. Throwing cars around Gran Turismo 7’s tracks is one of the most satisfying racing game experiences you could ask for, and the heavy simulation makes each successful turn and pass feel like a fist pump-worthy achievement. It’s a simulation, so you’re not going to be powersliding around corners and ramming opponents off the track like Burnout, but as far as racing is concerned, GT 7 is pure automotive bliss. On the track, GT 7 is a superlative racing game.

You don’t get to seven games in the series without stumbling into some kind of winning formula, and Gran Turismo 7 mostly continues this trend, though sometimes it feels like it gets in its own way.

Sure, there’s plenty of other simulation racing games out there, but few are as accessible yet so deep and intricate as the GT franchise. If you’re a lover of all things petrol and engines, the Gran Turismo series is the one for you. Gran Turismo is an institution at this point.
