    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$

    Garry's Mod is the brainchild of Garry Newman, who wanted to create a physics-based sandbox based on the Source engine which also allows other players to create mods for the game too. 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.

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

    I've been playing this game for several years now. It's dirt cheap and there's no reason you shouldn't buy this. There's SO MUCH to do, you can do ANYTHING YOU WANT. How does that not sound appealing?

    I great game, I've clocked up 360 hours on my steam talk about great value for money. The only problem I see with this is the fact that you need to have source pre-requisites to play this game.

It also take elements from every source engine game (Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Counter-Strike to name a few), and implements them into the game. 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

    One of the best sandbox games ever!
    You can do a lot in this game
    Want to build a plane? build a plane! Want to build a catapult? Build a catapult! That is only 2 of the thousands of things you can do. If you have Half Life 2, it gives you tons of props, vehicles, NPCs and effects, if you have TF2, you can use TF2 props and ragdolls in game! A lot of people use G-Mod to make funny videos    One of the best sandbox games ever!

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

    Insanely good game, you can play hundreds of different game-modes if you don't like just building and with the vast amount of community created content, you'll never be bored. I get a couple of new players on my server a day and everyone of them seems to be happy with their purchase, I mean it's £5/$10 how can you go wrong?

    There so much to do in Garrys mod, you can make houses, cars, planes just name it...
    There 1000´s of game modes for it, like
    Trouble in Teorist Town
    Ba Jail
    RolePlay
    Wars
    and much much more, so there might be a gamemode for every person.

    Garry's mod is a very unique game because it has no proper story line or any meaning to it. its just for having fun with random props from most of the source engine games and killing the NPC characters from the beloved half life series. for only 10 dollars, it really is a game totally worth it.

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

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

    A couple of glitches here and there, but nothing noticeable. The freedom of this game is more than Minecraft as there's always something new. You can run around killing hoards of headcrabs if you want to, or you can build a foldable base. 10/10. Tis amazing, and I hate giving tens, but it deserves it.
