Is it still worth playing?
Garry Newman's sandbox game, made as a mod for the Source engine in December 2004 and released on its own in November 2006. Its base mode has no set objectives, only a world where objects can be handled freely. You spawn non player characters, ragdolls and props and play with them. Two tools do most of the work. The physics gun picks up, rotates and freezes ragdolls and props, and the tool gun welds and constrains props together and changes ragdolls' facial expressions. Beyond the sandbox, other modes, such as Trouble in Terrorist Town and Prop Hunt, are made by other developers and installed separately, through the Steam Workshop and similar means. A world with no goals still invites you to build something today.
