What players say
opened Garry's Mod had absolutely no idea what i was doing spawned a chair attached 47 rockets to it pressed one button the chair became a NASA project joined a server and immediately got killed by a flying washing machine 10/10 no objective, no story, no idea what's happening just pure internet chaos

I downloaded this game thinking I was gonna build cool stuff. 300 hours later I'm putting a toaster in a bathtub while my friend is getting launched across the map by a chair. I have no idea what happened to my life, but I'm having a great time.
It's that sort of game where you start playing without knowing what you're going to do, and end up spending hours doing something completely random, the sheer number of mods, maps and game modes is mindboggling, and playing with friends makes it all even more fun, on the other hand, some servers are just a complete shambles, and playing on your own can get a bit boring after a while, even so, it's a sandbox game...
