Man where do I begin? Garrys mod has impacted my life by so much, either it be RP servers or sandbox shenanigans, those memories were priceless, such a shame most well known rp servers are being lost to time. But in the end, I’ll never forget you.

Garry’s Mod: A Playground for Chaos and Laughter Review: After 700+ hours in Garry’s Mod, I can confidently say it’s not just a game—it’s a recipe for disaster in the best way possible. One moment, you’re carefully building your dream rocket. The next, your friend slaps thrusters on your chair, and suddenly you’re flying across the map, screaming while everything explodes. Here’s what GMod taught me: 1. Physics don’t care about your plans. Build a masterpiece, and it’ll crumble the second you try to move it. 2. Prop Hunt is just hide-and-seek for trolls. Yes, that vending machine is laughing at you. 3. The Workshop is a rabbit hole. You’ll go in for maps and come out with Shrek mods, flying toilets, and 1,000 unnecessary sound effects. Gameplay: GMod is what happens when you give players unlimited freedom and zero rules. Whether you’re blowing up contraptions in Build Mode, lying your way to survival in Trouble in Terrorist Town, or roleplaying as a criminal in DarkRP, it’s pure chaos—and pure fun. Graphics and Sound: The visuals may be simple, but the comedy isn’t. Whether it’s a prop hitting someone in the face or a modded sound effect that sends everyone into hysterics, it’s perfect for creating unforgettable moments. Community: You’ll meet brilliant creators, chaotic pranksters, and everyone in between. Some servers feel like art; others are just people attaching rockets to chairs and screaming. Either way, you’ll laugh until your sides hurt. Pros: [*] Endless creativity and hilarity [*] Game modes for every mood [*] A Workshop full of ridiculous (and amazing) addons Cons: [*] Physics always betray you [*] Some servers are pure anarchy [*] Your friends will use you as their test dummy Final Thoughts: Garry’s Mod is a beautiful mess. It’s chaotic, unpredictable, and absolutely hilarious. Whether you’re the one causing destruction or the one cleaning it up, every moment is unforgettable. Rating: 10/10 – “I died laughing. Literally.”

Oddly Nostalgic game, esspecially for millenials/gen z who played half-life in their earlier years, also very nostalgic for any eastern european. Still, suits anybody pretty much, with its' infinite sandbox capabilities. All sorts of mods and maps... 10x the fun with friends. Very Good, but a little scary if you play it alone sometimes.
