Gran Turismo 7 review - A pristine driving experience

thegamer.com:

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Gran Turismo, and developer Polyphony Digital is celebrating the occasion by launching one of its best games to date. Gran Turismo 7 is an exceptional driving sim, developed by a studio operating at the peak of its ability. It looks gorgeous, it plays like a dream, and it's absolutely stuffed with modes, cars, and tracks—including some nostalgic callbacks to the series' long and storied history. It's also a game anyone can play, at any level, whether you're a gearhead who loves tweaking damping ratios, or a casual racer who just wants to scream around a pretty track in a shiny car.

Gran Turismo 7 sees the return of a proper career mode to the series, and it's superb. Beginning with a cheap entry level car (I opted for an electric blue Toyota Aqua S) you enter races, win credits, and use the money to buy better, faster vehicles to access more lucrative events—or, alternatively, spend it on upgrades to increase the power of your existing cars. You can visit dealerships, enter championships, buy parts, take your collection online in multiplayer races, earn licenses (yes, the classic license centre is back), and customise just about everything. It's the most fully featured Gran Turismo yet.

You're able to progress through the career at your own pace, choosing cars, races, and events that suit you. But even if you're a series veteran, it's worth dedicating some time to Café mode, which has been designed with new players in mind. Luca, a car-loving coffee shop owner, hands out lists of tasks called Café Menus, which act as a gentle guide through the career. These might ask you to complete a series of races to collect a list of cars
