    When God decided to create life, he created Garry's Mod along side it. It is impossible for anyone in this world to function without this genuine MASTERPIECE of a video game. If you do not have over 400 hours in this game I have no respect for you. Infinite things to do, infinite hours in this game. ((( AVOID DARK RP ))))

    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).

    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.

This game is an absolute must if you are bored, not only is it the best time waster game, but it's also an amazing game in general, it also has this sense of creepiness that makes you more fascinated by it, you can grab stuff from other games and do funky stuff with them, you can do practically anything in this game, thanks to the community, if I had to criticize something is that sometimes the game crashes way to easily or freezes completely, or doesn't run at all, but this is easily avoidable if you have a decent pc Expand

    Garry's mod is that one game where you are allowed to play various of gamemodes such as Sandbox (my favorite by the way) which also brings you entertainment. now I do own gmod on steam and my playtime has almost reached 200 hours. now why did I rate this game 9 Score? well it's because if you play gmod long enough, you start to get bored. still 9 means a good score!

    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.

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

If I have one problem, more like two, is that one of them is the updates always seem to break things worse somehow. Every. Time. And my other gripe is that this game really doesn't have an identity despite what can be done with it. It seems more like a tool sometimes rather than a game. Like a toy you play with. G-Mod is like Minecraft. It's there, you can play with it, but on its own, is it really much of a game? Not really. Either way, I enjoy the game. Expand

    Pretty buggy. But you can ignore that. It's not that big of a deal, really.

    Servers seem uninteresting, and having to download all of the mods used seems pretty iffy to me. Just keep that crap cached or in a separate location!

    That being said, this game isn't perfect, not at all. If you don't have counter-strike: source installed, all you see in most lobby's is a bunch of purple-black-checkered textures, and a **** of error signs, which means that these textures/props are used in counter-strike: source, and you can't see or use them if you don't have this game. Many game modes and maps become unplayable this way.
    Even if you do have CS:S installed, you'll still get sick of the lag and loading times. Often when i try to play with friends, it says ''server is not responding'', without any further explanation, and on some servers the loading time is longer than the time you feel like playing on it.

    Despite these flaws, GMod still is a great, fun game, but it can only be fully enjoyed when having CS:S installed, and with a powerful PC.

    An insane game built around a community of players who create mods, servers, addons, gametypes and duplicates. Ever-shifting servers can mean the quality of the game can rise and fall.

    Top rated servers are usually Trouble in Terrorist Town, DarkRP, Deathrun, and Sandbox.
    -TiTT is a mode where you slooth out who is the traitor and kill them.
    -DarkRP is a mode where people roleplay a town, with shops, police, cars and more.
    -Deathrun is where players must avoid obsticles activated by other players to get to them and kill them.
    -Sandbox is where you can do as you please and create things from physics objects.

    I really like TTT and Deathrun. There are some good RPs like Soldier RPs and certain DarkRP servers can be fun. There are tons more gamemodes all varying in how fun and populated they are.

    As of now, the game is fun and packed with people, and it is very social. You should have a mic to enjoy this game most.

    However, server quality is not quite what it use to be. Most types are now variations on RP, and many are very boring grinds. Gmod racer, Minecraftwars and such are gone, which were some of my favourites, and fun game types like football showdown seem to be lowly populated, which I don't get.

    The game is always improving to play locally with friends however, as the amount of mods increases, You can't beat playing this with friends.

    The game has also spawned countless hilarious machinimas and sketches on YouTube- I recommend EthioMods videos. It's an experience, not just a game, and I highly recommend checking lets plays out on YouTube to see if you'd like it. If you like messing about, building or just plain trolling, you'll love this game.

    Final score: 8/10 - Fun but public servers do change in quality, currently pretty good, with things seemingly improving- although it was better in the past.

There is almost no limit to what can be done with this game, and it only gets better to enjoy your friends. The only downside to Garry's Mod is that you need to buy games such as Counter Strike Source and the Half Life 2 games in order to access everything (unless you prefer the purple and black checkerboards that occur when you have missing textures and error signs for missing models and other content). Garry's Mod is a fantastic game that I would recommend anyone to try, though its best to play if you get the Garry's Mod/ Counter Strike Source bundle, and have Half Life 2 games already in your Steam Library. I would give this game a 9, but the fact that it relies on you buying other games for its content does hinder its favorability if your not a fan of the Half Life or Counter Strike series.

    RP is just the usual roleplay that you also know in games like GTA RP.
    Prop Hunt is Hide and Seek, only that those who are hiding in this game have to disguise themselves as objects in order not to be discovered, they can move and jump as objects, but the seekers can see these movements, so extreme caution is required when moving as a prop let's talk about the seekers, these are equipped with a crowbar and a pistol and have to search for the players disguised as a prop, but if they shoot at a prop that is not a disguised player, they always suffer 10 KP damage, but if they catch the right one, they lose player blood and is even out in the end and that's how it goes on and on.
    The best mode with the most replay value is still Trouble in Terrorist Town, or TTT for short, although I have to say that this mode is 1000 times more fun with over 10 people than with less.
    In this mode there are innocents, detectives and traitors the goal for the innocents and the detectives is to find and kill all the traitors the same goal the traitors have only that they have to kill the innocents and detectives there is nothing more to say here except that the detectives and the traitor shops have to buy special weapons or other equipment that gives them an advantage.
    The graphics don't appeal to me that much now in 2022 but you shouldn't judge a book by its cover because the content counts more and you can see that very well in Gmod.
    I ran it in the summer sale in 2017 for €5 rounded up and after 5 years with a playing time of 387 hours I still haven't regretted it.
    Gmod especially with the game mode TTT are in my eyes still a reason to sit down for a few hours and just enjoy it I hope I will have fun with this game for a long time

    Gmod is an extremely enjoyable game to play. This game is designed for community generated content and is what games the game enjoyable. There's also any multi-player servers which contain classic game modes like prop hunt.
    Overall, I think the game is amazing.

    i am addicted to this game, i have over 2000 hours on this and for a good reason
    the stuff you can do in this game with mods or without is insane, without mods there are dupes, loads of tools for creating simple mechanisms like a catapult, a cannon, or a simple house, but with mods everything gets upgraded by about a bucket full, because gmod is built on the 2nd greatest game engine ever

    This Game is a text-book example, of a great sandbox game. This game has a great online community, and a fantastic modding scene. There is so much content for this game and just some much you can do. If you can think of something, from building a house, or making a funny scene, you can do it. all I can say is, Play It. it's a great time, and I bet you will enjoy it, just don't alt-tab.

    The level of community content unlocked by this game was insane, playing with friends and strangers alike felt interesting in all the various modes from TTT and Zombies to Prop hunt and Free play.

    Garry's Mod...Oh my goodness, this is such a funny game. Where to start? The game is absolutely hilarious, if you know how to use it. The in-game instructions aren't the greatest, to be honest. If you DO know how to use it, it can be hours of fun, creating the picture of your dreams! Well, if you're somewhat demented.

    Another issue if the sorting. I have had to search for a long time

    Another issue if the sorting. I have had to search for a long time just to find a certain weapon to place in a person's hand. If that were fixed, and the in-game instructions were a bit better, I could give this a 9/10, or maybe even a 10/10.

    Overall, the game is great. Some people have made some GREAT Videos with it, and I personally, even though I'm not the best, have made some pretty comedic pictures in less than an hour. Definitely recommended.

    A good game, it shines in it's community and the people who play it. You can mod the crap out of this game that's for sure. There are a lot of game modes too. If your skilled enough you may make one too. But above that, the game mode that in my opinion that stands out the most is Trouble in Terrorist Town. It is really fun with friends and even alone as long as you are talking with others.A good game, it shines in it's community and the people who play it.

As said before playing with friends is the best part. I encourage you to do so. Because without them it may get boring for you, community in this is vital to have. Overall, i encourage you to try this game. It's only 9.99. It may be worth the try. Expand

    It is true that you can have a lot of fun, especially with friends. But if you don't want to play RP, there isn't really that many people playing on the other servers. It is a good game but right now most of its playerbase is on RP servers.

    the game is very nice to play but no longer for now, or just not in my region. The servers are partly abandoned. The game is an casual sandbox that features multiplayer. there's few nice gamemodes introduced by another players but it's just it. However I recommend to hit it with a group of friends but it's nothing amazing.

    This must be the only game developer's kit you are expected to pay for. This is not a 'game'. It is a content development tool. Though it is easier to use than a pro tool, and there is certainly a degree of fun to be had, the tool kit comes without a good tutorial of "getting started" template, and leaves you in limbo, reading "how to be cool with Garry's Mod" in external sources.

I score it low for false advertising and a high price. This should be a $1 app. Wouldn't say that it is a 'BAD' product, rather that it should definitely not be sold as a 'Game'.

    THE GROT REVIEW CRITERIA: After a long time writing reviews like an anus, think its time to set something straight. Stop insulting designers. Show some respect for the design process and getting games in circulation. Hence (1) No Red scores. (2) Game scores as follows: Bad Game 5/10. Poor Game 6/10. Mediocre Game: 7/10. Good Game 8/10. Great game 9/10. Stella Game 10/10. To get 10/10 it must be a game that can be (theoretically) play-able for 1000+ hours. Not only great but near endless fun. Games may be bad or poor but making them should earn respect. Thus even the worst POS will still be a 5/10. 0/10 no longer exists in my vocabulary. Yellow is the new red.

    From another user's review "The game is absolutely hilarious, if you know how to use it". Yes, that's the point. How do you use it? The game's instructions are non-existant and you have to do deep researches on the internet every time you want to do something different than spawn some NPCs.
    Garry's Mod is the perfect Sandbox game. If you're not into them, you won't be into it.

    This game cost 3 $. But you need CS:S and DOD:S to have no errors and missing textures.
    Which makes this game 13$.
    Its not much, but being the cheap bastard i am, i dont want to buy thoose games.

    Great game with a wide variety of activities and creativity. Pretty fun experience with endless amounts of mods. But there's a downside to the 'endless amounts of mods'; when joining a server, you're almost always downloading. Downloading, downloading, more downloading. You could be loading a server for 30 **** minutes, or over - it really pisses me off.

Little did I know just the extent of problems that Garry's Mod is plagued with. Most noticeable right off the bat was the clunkiness of the menu and the various actions that can be performed. They are extremely user unfriendly and frustrating as basic actions such as properly placing someone in a chair became a ridiculous comedy of errors.
    And then there's a drastic reduction in the quality of graphics and framerate from the same exact objects/characters/etc of a game that I had on the same exact laptop I was using. Normally, I am very tolerant with graphics. Now I know where the line is drawn, as some words on the walls couldn't even be read. As for the framerate, well, it's hard to actually play a game when it takes about three minutes to take a few steps. It gets this way when you have a group of objects or npcs in the map, making your options more limited.
    Then there's the dreaded purple and black squares on all the textures. If you don't buy the games that many textures, objects, etc require then you basically have these massive eyesores everywhere you look or big ERROR text. Nothing like ending up paying even more money (and a lot at that) just to play the same game, right?
    Now, the obvious question, "Why don't you ask the community?" "Get a better computer!" My computer is fine and I have looked on the boards, I have asked questions and the community was... less than friendly...
    There may be a lot of opportunity in Garry's Mod, but a litany of problems make it a very frustrating and obstructive experience. I was unable to find much that made me want to actually keep playing.

And don't expect the game to get decent bugfixes any time soon; the developers are slooow.
    The games functionality isn't the only thing that has become awful over the years; the Gmod community itself has become one of the worst communities I've seen in gaming. You will rarely find a friendly/smart person in it anymore.
