Released in the mid-2000s, Garry’s Mod was incredibly innovative, giving players the tools to create their own games. This led to a huge variety of amazing creations, from adventure games and multiplayer shooters to animated films, often using characters from classic Valve games. It’s still available on Steam for around $10 and remains fun to play. However, Garry’s Mod is starting to show its age, as it was built on an older engine (Source) that has been superseded by the more modern Source 2, used in games like CS:GO 2 and Deadlock. Fortunately, Garry Newman, the creator of Garry’s Mod, is now working on s&box (pronounced “sandbox”), which represents the next evolution of this creative platform.
