It's down to 82 now, an absolute travesty. Proving that critics are biased against Xbox yet again for the 2nd time this year. Critics gave Gran Turismo 7 an 87, 5 points higher than Forza Motorsport, even though it had microtransactions that cost as much as $200 for the most expensive cars (single cars mind you, not whole car packs, but single cars), limited numbers of cars available in the store (meaning they could sell out and you couldn't complete your car collection), always online DRM that caused outages as long as 30 hours, and some reused car and track models from much earlier games in the series (which therefore made them very outdated).
By comparison Forza Motorsport has no cash for currency microtransactions, much better designed in-game store and car collection mechanics, and every single car model and track built from the ground up for current gen. And what do the critics do? They give it an 82 average on opencritic, lower than any other Forza Motorsport except for 5, and it is only 3 points higher than FM5, even though it has more than twice the cars and 3 more tracks than FM5 did at launch.
I'm so f***ing done with like 95% of game critics at this point, I've gotten to the point where I treat them exactly the same as movie critics, which is to say not giving any of them a single click on their reviews.
