Garry's Mod

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • Sandbox
  • Physics
  • Multiplayer

An objective-free physics sandbox on the Half-Life 2 engine: build, move and break whatever you like. Its appeal lies in community-made modes, from hide-and-seek to horror, and millions of Workshop creations.

Why play it now

When you're with friends and want to mess around: join a server and play a different mode each time.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys creating and experimenting, and groups looking for laughs with no fixed rules.

When not to pick it

If you play alone and want objectives: without friends or a community it loses nearly all its charm.

What it offers

  • Creating: 100 out of 100
  • Building: 70 out of 100
  • Relaxing: 50 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 40 out of 100
  • Competing: 40 out of 100
  • Exploring: 30 out of 100
  • Thinking: 30 out of 100
