    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).

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

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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

    Very good game! One thing that would make it amazing though is an update that makes it crash less(Since people have been experiencing crashes on higher quality computers, but not HYPER powerful ones).

    As a person who has spent over four hundred hours in this game, I can say that the game is truly great, and it can hardly get boring to the player, a lot of content in the workshop, a huge number of servers, a colossal SFM community, dupes, saves, maps, it all causes a feeling of joy.

But there is one problem. On weak PCs, HDR technology may not work correctly, showing a strip in the sky that supposedly "separates" the colors of the sky, which is why screenshots or a simple pastime may be slightly spoiled.

    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.

    This is a pretty good game. Although I must say, downloading addons can be really annoying at times.

The game itself is a great sandbox, being able to manipulate rag dolls and build structures using the Half Life 2 source engine can be a real blast. 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

    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!

The game is also a true sandbox, you can do anything you want, like recreating a scene from a movie or game. The graphics are mostly HL2 level, so they are quite dated but look decent.

This review is a tad shorter because I feel this game doesn't have much that needs saying. 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

    There's no possible way to review this game. You must play! This is sandbox, you can do what you want. You must have Source SDK Base. Garry's Mod take maps from other Valve Software games, like Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2.

    Garry's mod is something special. It allows you to mess with various games made with the source engine. You can also spawn the props from these games.

    Pros: You can mess around with the props from source engine games, such as Gman from Half-Life 2. Strap rockets to his head. Attach a rope to your car. Pull his motionless body with the car. Fun.

    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!    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    In all areas of the game it is wonderful seeing all these awesome game modes you can play but I will say that sometimes you run out of game modes to play and it gets a little boring but I will say whenever you play a server over and over It will become easier to join DuH!
