The layout of the game is pretty simple, Killer vs Survivors.

5 players in a match, one player is the killer and the other 4 are the survivors, the survivors job is to sneak around the map avoiding the killer and turning on 5 generators, once 5 generators are complete the survivors open a mechanical door to escape. If you are hit twice by the killer you are downed and can be carried and placed onto a hook. Other survivors can saved you or you'll be 'sacrificed' to the entity

__==The Good==__
• Unique Gamplay
• Thrilling theme
• Addictive
• Strategic

__==The Bad==__
• Highly toxic community
• Lobbies host by p2p connection with the killer so very good chance to get a high latency match
• Mechanics such as skill checks are very hard for new players to adapt to and takes time to develop skill
• Unbalanced tactics, i.e. killer can stand in front of the hook preventing survivor from being saved
• Backend ban system is broken. DO NOT LEAVE A LAGGY MATCH. If you have high latency in a match just let yourself be killed, the developers have implemented a system that automatically bans you for a week if you disconnect matches too frequently. In theory this prevents the odd player from rage quitting but it's also a kick in the face to those who just want to play a smooth non-laggy, fun, fair match

The good:
Freedom to create anything you want: houses, cars, boats, planes, helicopters, or some other crazy contraption: from scratch or from common objects like crates, barrels, household furniture etc.

Lots of different gamemodes: from sandbox to racing to City RP.

100% moddable.

The bad:
Some contraptions need fine tweaking, physics can be a bit overactive, NPC corpses can't be cleared.

Summary:
For a game that will only run you $12.00 in the majority's case, Garry's Mod is one of the most popular Steam games, and the best sandbox game, ever to be created in my opinion. The game recently scored 1.4 million copies sold, and trust me, I wouldn't think any game that's so cheap, money-wise, would sell that many.

The main point of Garry's Mod is to build contraptions and make them work. These can range from cars to boats to trains to helicopters and a countless amount of things you can do. To build these you use props, simple models that were taken from existing games. Speaking...
