What players are saying

Positive

  • Garry`s Mod is a game that will either take up 30 minutes of your time or 30 years of it. It`s an incredibly massive sandbox where you can just create and create endlessly. It`s hard to say what can`t be recreated in this game, because it can pretty much realize anything, and the only real obstacle is your imagination and willingness to try. All of this is thanks to the work of tens of thousands of players who kept releasing mods, constantly pushing the game`s limits further. This is one of the best examples of a true sandbox game. Build, roleplay, blow things up, and just have fun letting your imagination run wild. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ (8/10)

  • Garry's Mod is not a game. It is a lifestyle. I bought this game expecting to mess around for a few hours. 3,000 hours later, I have accomplished absolutely nothing. You can build anything, become anything, and do anything. Want to spend 6 hours making a completely useless contraption? You can. Want to install 47,000 addons and crash your computer? You can. Want to join a server where nobody knows what is happening? Absolutely. The physics engine has taught me more about engineering than school ever did. 10/10. Would accidentally spawn 500 props again.

Negative

  • The different game types and overall creativity are fantastic but the community is absolute trash. If you purchase I recommend just sticking to single player.
