Garry's Mod Review



After playing multiple LAN games each week at college, I can safely say it's time to give Garry's Mod my ol' opinionated view!

The game is such fun to play, and it's HIL-A-RIOUS to play with people, the more the better! Yet without mods and as a game on its own, besides shooting other players constantly, attaching elastic ropes to random objects and setting off multiple key-controlled bombs at spawn. There just isn't much to do! I suppose it's got that whole 'Minecraft thing' about it where, you actually need to be dedicated and focused on what you want to do, and you actually have to have an idea of what you want to do too. You don't really mess around with it, but making inventions takes a long while to do.

Singleplayer is even more boring, with the only real benefit having no hyper friends who bulldoze through and destroy your creations. But this is where the game needs mod support. There are so many mods on the Steam Workshop that can enhance the game, yet only a handful are fully multiplayer compatable. But if you get a dedicated group of friends with the right map an goal, you can have a pretty good time.

Overall, if you see this game on sale, I'd heartily recommend it to you. But if you don' know anyone else with the game, I'd say to pass on it as playing with sweaty losers you don't know on servers is no fun! Even so, if you're more creative than me. Go for it!

It gets 7/10.
