I like doing something in Bender, 3DMax etc. but creating stuff in Garry's Mod (Gmod) is something better and more fun. It's like creating something, but in first person.
PRESENTATION
After you join a multiplayer game via the simple server browser (or you create your own game, doesn't matter) you will face a world that will be hard to leave behind, but it will take you some time to realize how the game that you just bought works. At first, i was kind of sorry for buying the game, as i wasn't really realizing how the tools and props menu worked (by pressing 'Q' you open up the menu). There are only about 5-7 weapons to choose from, among which is the tool gun. The tool gun, however, has the most functions and it counts as a 500 weapons. Sounds pretty unlogical, but it's true. There are about 500 tools to choose from (even more if you have WireMod installed). After only 20 minutes, the server crashed as my PC started to go crazy. The main reason was: prop spamming. Random people join user-created servers and crash them by spawning too many props, some do it on purpose, some by accident. I realized that those situations are pretty common, as literally every server i joined at the time had crashed. I found some new gamemodes, like Trouble in Terrorist Town, PropHunt, Stop it Slender(!) etc. and those servers didn't crash at all! The best thing was that i found a few YouTubers roaming around (it was them, i was in one of their videos, not that I talked to them). Basically, the worst thing that can happen is server crashing, and remember, if you don't have at least a dual core PC, you will NOT be able to play on most of the servers, as 40-60% are overclocked and require a fast processor.
GRAPHICS
Garry's Mod came out in 2004-2005, somewhere around the time Steam was established, and many people were surprised by its beauty. Right now, i really cannot say anything about the graphics even though the game was released from beta in 2010 (later on, GMOD 13 was in beta, before it became an actual part of the entire project). Lets talk like we are in the time when Gmod saw the light of day for the first time. The graphics are awesome, plenty of models that look pretty, even user-created skins look realistic which is even cool for TODAY (2014).
MULTIPLAYER
The entire game is, basically, a huge multiplayer... You know what that means, right?
THE VERDICT
Garry's Mod is a thrilling, fun, amazing, overclocked experience that is probably the cheapest of its kind. If you have more than 8 euros (10 dollars) in your pocket, the best thing to buy, definitely, is Garry's Mod.
I give this spectacular piece of gaming history a 9.3. For more reviews, check out my blog. Laters.
