    While games like Minecraft may give you the tools to build whatever you want, Garry's Mod gives you the tools to create whatever you want. Sledding gamemode? Already there. Way too role-playing gamemodes? There. The ultimate stealth/deception game of all-time (TTT)? Of course, there. Garry's Mod is fantastic, and for its price during Steam Sales, it's definitely worth it.

    Great sandbox game, never got old. Have tons of hours on this game and each time I load it up, I can do something completely different than last time. One of the best sandbox games I've ever played and I will continue playing it for a long time.

    Garry's Mod is the sandbox version of Half Life 2. It's insane. Everything from Half Life 2 is in this, and you can do whatever you want. What adds to this amazing game is the Steam Workshop. People are creating things everyday. It's as simple as looking for what you want, and adding to the game. You don't even need the mods if you don't want them!

Some things do take some help or getting used to, but most things are super easy. Another thing that adds to the awesomeness is price. Only $10, and can be very cheap on sales. This game is my favorite all time game. If you want it, buy it. Expand

    Yes garrys mod is a game. But it is so much more than that. It allows you to create pretty much anything you want and play anything you want. It allows you to be creative and really have the freedom you want in a sandbox.

    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.

    I recommend this game! BUY IT NOW!

    Honestly one of the best games I've played. So much stuff to do, build robots, make crazy awesome contraptions, and then, you can share them with the world! I can't name any other sandbox games like this. They also have awesome gamemodes too! Like trouble in terrorist town, prop hunt, deathmatch, hunger games, and SO much more! I wonder what this game will become in the future, so muchHonestly one of the best games I've played.

Garry's Mod is the ultimate game of ultimate history, it has many things in one game. Also don't forget its cost! Only 10 bucks for an awesome game like this!? No way, but you gotta believe it, because it's all true! Plus we have all the awesome maps by all the awesome people that are capable to do this!
    Overall I can say Garry's Mod is the best sandbox game I've ever played.

    Greatest pc game/mod hands down. I have pulled over 700 hours of it since Christmas last year and am still playing! Sadly the relatively new "Garry's Mod 13" update was released last year, it up the hit boxes completely. But besides that, you are absolutely insane if you have not purchased this game yet.

    Great game that allows users to do practically anything they would like. The only downside is you have too have some old source games but yet those games are fun in themselves.

    This game is incredibly fun. There are so many different gamemodes and so much stuff that you can build that you will probably never get bored. Combine what I just said with the fact that this game is workshop compatible and you have a game which has so many addons that you will never not be able to find something you like. This game is amazing and you will never get bored.

    I bought this game after following lost in places antics. Hilariously fun, great to mess with people who are playing the game seriously. Im playing on a mac and it works perfectly. Must hsve.

    Garry's Mod is a game like no other. Install, Play, and build huge prop castles or amazing machines. The game has a main menu where you can spawn hundreds of props in which you can weld, freeze, morph, transform, or use to build a marvelous fortress. Multiplayer is just as fun as coders create different gamemodes with different goals. What are you doing? Buy it Now!

    This is definitely a one-of-a-kind game genre, that has entertained us since '06. It has a variety of gamemodes, of the wich you can never grow bored; endless spawnlists; the addon feature, that has really improved gameplay; and the inumerous ideas you can put to practice, with the feedback of other players.

    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.

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.

    A game that had me hooked for hours. This game mixes in sandbox, and hundreds of other game modes. This is my most played game on PC. I also had to convince my brothers and friends to get it. I just wish Valve would reboot this game and add more items and better graphics.

    It's near impossible to hate this game, as it can be any game you want it to be, and a whole lot of games you hadn't even thought of yet. A perfect ten can't be denied to this game. In addition to that, it's only ten dollars on Steam.

    Played this game a lot... Five years later I'm studying software engineering at university. Coincidence? No. If you have any interest in programming buy this game and start playing with the expression scripting language, you can do so many cool things.

    PS: Find a server with interesting people and interesting mods, a good community can keep you coming back for years.

    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.

    I don't like this game, it seems unfinished and should still be in BETA. i paid for it on a sale date so I got it cheaper, glad about that, not worth full price, avoid.

    This is probably one of those games that are just so fun and never get boring, you can fulfill all your dreams, make a flying car, have a npc murder line, or go on servers with special game-modes like Smash, Trouble in Terrorist town, or Deathrun, or just play normal sandbox with your friends.

    What you can do in Half Life 2, you can do in this. In fact, if you own HL2 you can play it in Gmod! From making Dr. Kleiner fly along in a Thruster Powered bathtub off The Statue Of Liberty to making a Bowling Place using Grenades as Bowling balls and Zombies as pins, theres nothing you can do in Half Life 2 that you can't do here. Buy it.
