It celebrates its 10th birthday this month, and, as of January this year, has sold 10 million copies. And it’s one of the most popular games on Steam.
Entirely original game modes have been created in Garry’s Mod, short films have been made with it-using players as actors, or utilising complex stop-motion techniques. On top of making it easy for players to toy around, it also gives modders a framework to work on new, often absurd ideas.
It’s a freeform sandbox designed to let you do whatever you want.Īt least, that’s it at the base level.
It’s a mod of the Source engine, made to enable just about anyone to build, pose or simply mess around with its tools and tricks. There’s never been anything quite like Garry’s Mod, and I’d hazard a guess at there never being anything like it ever again.
