    Also, since this game has so much moddability, there are a few bugs due to conflict. (That's not the game's fault, it's yours.)

    This game has so much potential and it's a never ending game because people will always make mods for it. People have mad careers out of this game. This uses a lot from Team Fortress 2 and Half Life but I think that's fine because it adds a lot of content already. Garry' Mod is still going on and is being used to make memes. I've spent some time on it, no-where near the amount some people have.

    My Opinion: Once you get over the learning curve (My reason for a 9, not 10) this game is quite possibly the best sandbox games ever made, and this is without mods. It’s only competition is Minecraft, and kinda, Roblox (which bares a lot of similarities in its Studio Mode, but I still think Garry’s Mod wins over).

    If this mode wasn’t so expansive, and allowed for so much replayability in of its self, this game probably only would’ve been a 6 or 7, due to its toxic community. But if you are lucky and get some 16+ people who understand the concept of humor, or you have friends to play with then this is also probably one of the best multiplayer games, but unfortunately, you usually get some 2 year old arguing about FNAF, which isn’t fun. Pros:
    1.) One of the best sandbox modes in a video game ever
    2.) An absolutely amazing modded experience, elevating the game to even higher heights, especially for novice players.
    3.) Amazing potential for multiplayer fun.
    Cons:
    1.) Highly toxic community
    2.) High barrier to entry
    3.) Large amounts of 10-12 populating servers, ruining the fun for everyone else

    Addressing Common Complaints
    I know a lot of negative reviews are from years ago, but the latest version or 2 of Gmod have really improved and made the UI far better, in my opinion. Also people are asking for story in a half sandbox, half multiplayer game, the 2 genres that can get away without the slightest sniff of a story. So shut up. 9/10.    … Expand

    There is so much about this game that is awesome. You can create stuff, like houses bases, vehicles, turrets and things that don't exist yet. There is multiplayer in the game so you can create with your friends or strangers. If you are not good at building things, you can animate ragdolls and make movies.
    Such a good game for only 10$

So the game has a truly MASSIVE amount of variety. In singleplayer, you canbuild your own NPC arena, populate it with conflicting characters and watch them kill each other. On zombie survival, be a human fighting for your life while a zombie horde slowly infects the rest of your band of survivors. On Trouble in Terrorist Town, take control of a 'Traitor' Terrorist, and collaborate with other Traitors to wipe out all the 'Innocent' Terrorists, either through the use of a suicide bomb or sniping each innocent off, one by one. And in the excellent Dark RP, a multiplater role-playing mod built for the game, you start of as a citizen, but if you wish you can choose a different job, such as a police officer and take on crime head-on, or a mob boss with a gang the size of everyone in the server called 'The Tunnel Snakes' who own the cops through successful blackmail and bribery, or a sadistic gun dealer who's only pleasure is to kill everyone he sees, or a hobo and beg for money, or a hitman charging $100 per kill. Or just be a citizen and build. The game is fantastic, with the only flaws being the aged (but highly forgiveable) graphics and the occasional glitches and LUA cache errors. But I don't usually judge games based on minor technical problems. I judge them on the experience I've had with the game. And mine was fantastic.… Expand

There are also some really fun online servers, although downloading all the files the servers use can take awhile. I think I would rate this game higher if there weren't so many glitches. I have owned the game on three different computers, and played 100+ hours, and there are some things that really annoy me. For one thing, the game allows you to spawn NPC's with weapons, however most of the weapons that the game starts you off with (not addons), don't work. I think that the developers could have done better on this, and while I don't blame them for this, I think that they could have patched it. This game is a very good deal, considering if you own a game that uses the source engine the game is $10 on steam. I would/do recommend it to most of my friends, and I think that the creators did a great job making a fun, creative game.… Expand

    I LOVE Garry's mod I have played over 350hours of it. The reason I gave it a 9 is becuase it's not perfect. The reason it's so so hard to make servers. It's like Minecraft they have insanely hard server set ups. But apart from that I really would not change the gameplay.

GMOD is a hugely flexible (and sometimes unstable) sandbox when you mess around with the possibilities, including adding things like Wiremod to unlock the possibilities (or confusion) . GMOD, however, is not stand-alone, and requires a source engine game to power the experience, which shouldn't really be difficult to achieve, especially with TF2 being F2P. The game is also not only a sole experience, but an amazing multi-player world where anything can happen, which isn't always a good thing!

    The multi-player world is a interesting one, and some addons would be needed to avoid people messing up what you make. Maps, game-modes and infinitely more pieces of content can be added at your leisure, but performance will take a hit in most cases. As a flexible, sandbox, you would probably expect to be able to do almost anything, and GMOD pretty much does just that.

    For a measly few pounds or dollars, you can unlock a unique world that has almost no bounds to your creativity, which is what a sandbox is all about. Highly Recommended.    … Expand

You can totally mess up Half-Life and Portal this way, which is extremely fun. The graphics are the same as just about every other Source Engine game, which are awesome. Also, if all of this wasn't fun enough, then there is also a Toy Box. Basically the Toy Box allows you to download user made creations while you play the game. These can be new maps, weapons, and entities. Overall, this is one of my favorite video games of all time, and I only wish there were more games like it!… Expand

Mods are very easy to find, and even easier now with the newly implemented Garry's Mod Workshop on Steam, which is the only place you can get the game. You don't even need to own Half-Life 2 to play it. It's built in. So it's basically an entirely different game all on it's own. The is singleplayer for when you don't want to run the risk of idiots coming on your server and screwing everything up, and there's also multiplayer for when you want to show off your work or play with friends. This game is worth much more than it costs. Get it. You will not regret it. Even if you are into COD. Plus, it doesn't require a very powerful machine to run.

I play "Trouble In Terrorist Town", or "TTT". If you get Garry's Mod, buy Counter Strike: Source as well, you must have it to see weapons used in TTT. Highly recommended.… Expand

    The game is a fun mod of Half-Life 2 allowing you to create your own environments and customise models from Source engine games. The game allows heavy scripting making a lot of fun custom game modes possible but is mainly a sandbox game. Overall Garry's Mod is a game where you can be creative and have fun but not a game for serious gaming.

Multiplayer is so fun, it has stolen about 1150 hours of my life. I love playing all these different gamemodes ranging from roleplaying to zombie survival to trouble in terrorist town to sandbox! The best part is that there's hundreds of servers for each gamemode, so if one server has a bunch of griefers or has simply abusive admins, you can easily switch to another server. This is entirely better than Minecraft, which is an okay game and is highly overpriced. With so many deals on steam, Garry's mod can be found at low prices like $2, which is very low compared to how awesome of a game it is. The only thing bad about it is that when a Valve game is updated, it usually busts up the game so you have to wait for a patch. Though Garry is pretty awesome about this and usually updates it within a day or so. Overall, great game for people who love to build, mod, or just play a game with dozens of gamemodes.… Expand

    It is a true sandbox, it is exactly what it seeks to be.
    I recommend to play this if you like making up your own fun.

    Very very fun sandbox based on the Half Life 2 engine (Source). Now, with mods - you can make movies, funny faces, cool contraptions and so on. Fun! Definitely worth a try for people with imagination or the urge for creativity!
