Was one of my most played games ever, and it held that title firmly for years. Countless hours of fun ranging from having a smoothie stand that would secretly print money in darkrp to earning fake ranks after climbing up into a tree and sniping people in militaryrp. On top of that just sandbox alone held most of my hours, countless mods and countless possibilities. However I don't see myself adding to the hour count anytime soon, this game has ran its course.
It's hard to call a game that tells you to make your own fun perfect, but something has to do it perfectly, all the sandboxes in the world, all the mod encouraging games and empty plains with spawnable objects, from your minecrafts to your rollercoaster tycoons, Garry's Mod stands above the rest, the amount of unimaginable enjoyment you can get out of this game is really just unmatched, even discounting mods, which I usually for obvious reasons don't include in rating, but for a game that is just so purely designed around them, you almost have to make the exception.
Some of my favorite memories are bound to this game, exploring sandbox and thinking I saw a spirit in the corner with a friend over my shoulder and getting scared. Trolling on TTT, and taking it seriously. Playing untold hours of prophunt and sledbuild with close friends. Doing unimaginably stupid things in sandbox. Hell, this games so good I fondly remember taking hours to load into dark RP, than getting banned for the dumbest most minute thing you could imagine.

It's kind of like roblox where its a massive roulette of garbage with the occasional playable game. What makes this better is that the people who play these games (usually) aren't 7 years old. So even if every game is mediocre to complete shit youre still gonna have a good time just meeting the most insane people at least when I played. Also the source engine is really fucking fun to mess with and the steam workshop just gives you just a shit ton of content to play around with.
