Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Facepunch is trying to make Roblox instead of something like Gmod, the difference is Roblox doesnt charge $20 and the microtransactions on top. They shouldve just stuck to what people wanted and made a Gmod in Source2 with Half life and Counter Strike 2 assets. Just buy Gmod, and maybe down the road S&box will get better but right now its not worth $20
I was extremely excited to finally get to play this game, seeing as I have over 700 hours in Garry's Mod and this game advertised itself as a Source 2 successor to Garry's Mod, but it turns out after playing a little over 2 hours and still luckily being able to request a refund that the game is just an extremely gutted version of Source 2. The games that people release tend to just be random, low effort, AI generated junk or games that were barely functional/playable. This game is just a $20 Roblox copy with way worse content. On top of that, the devs don't seem to be doing anything to try to manage it. On top of that, you have to pay to have any 'decent' character cosmetics because half of them are unavailable because you could only get them if you were a playtester. It's just a FOMO system meant to rake in as much money as possible. In Garry's Mod, I could go on the workshop and download whatever model I'd want and use it right off the bat no money spent but if I want a specific piece of clothing in this game, I'll most likely end up having to pay more than I do for a copy of Garry's Mod. But that's not all: even if you wanted to play multiplayer, it doesn't work half the time, just giving you errors if you do attempt to connect to any server. The vibe coding, the discord culture among the barely existing player base, the awful performance issues, and the AI and crypto bros that infest the place, please avoid this game at all costs, It's not worth the money whatsoever. The devs have even mentioned they don't plan to fix half the issues, if any, with the slop content because they don't care. Spend your money anywhere else but not on this, just buy Garry's Mod, honestly.

симулятор вк игр всмеси с роблоксом, платные айтемы нету контента все баганно, сьежают модельки текстуры всего что есть баганые поголовно. худшее вложение своих денег, играйте в обычный гарис мод.
I am genuinely optimistic about this and I do think it can be massive. However it's probably going to be several years and a lot of effort on Facepunch's part for it to happen. You can make some really unique game modes here and get some cash for people playing them. THE ISSUE you see, is that I believe it's currently based on playtime. So the catalog of modes are FLOODED to the brim with idle clickers and other mundane bullcrap time wasters. However if you sift through it all, there are some decent modes that makes the $20 entry fee worth it already. They MUST adjust the way the play fund is rewarded or I think this will never truly take off.
Так сильно облажаться с выходом такой масштабной игры — это не просто трэш, это какой-то запредельный трэш. Ещё и добавили каких-то ноунеймных человечков в виде кукол... Ощущение, будто играешь в Roblox. Могли бы просто сделать Garry's Mod 2 — и успех был бы практически гарантирован. Но нет, обязательно нужно было экспериментировать. Не удивлюсь, если игру делали люди, которые вообще не понимали, чего ждала аудитория. Короче, пока что это помойка, а не игра. По крайней мере, сейчас. Деньги на ветер. Кстати, оптимизация здесь тоже плохая, чтобы знали.
Its.... its really bad, like imagine you see an ad for a burger, looks great and really good, but when you order it, its just... really sad looking and lacking, also the fact that all the game modes/games you can play are either broken, buggy as hell or just straight up slop from Roblox doesn't help.
Это полный ♥♥♥♥♥♥ а не игра, каждая вторая игра это ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ии слоп который Гарри оправдывает как "успех". Пошел ♥♥♥♥♥
i don't really believe s&box as a platform looking at the current situation, but i still believe it has a promising future as a game engine. at the very least it's an open source unity with free hot reload feature. i hope i didn't invest my 10 bucks, learn c#, and contribute to the github repo for nothing.
For Old Garry's Mod Players: Do not buy this expecting Garry's Mod 2. While the classic sandbox mode is still available, s&box is a very different project. GMod fans looking for simple nostalgia will probably be disappointed, because the core focus of this platform has shifted entirely. The Real Focus: s&box is less of a casual sandbox game and more of a full game development engine powered by Source 2. Its built-in editor works a lot like Unity, allowing creators to build and publish games inside s&box or even as standalone games without paying any royalty fees. Current Player Experience: From a player's perspective, the content is very hit-or-miss right now. While there are a few nearly polished games available, the game browser is mostly filled with basic test projects, messy experiments, and unfinished ideas. In its current state, only about 10–15% of the available custom games are actually fun to play. Verdict: If you are a creator, the potential here is massive. But if you are a player just hoping to relive the old GMod days, there is not enough solid content to enjoy just yet. However, if you are looking for a fresh experience and want to see where community creation is heading, it is still worth checking out.
[h1]Let this garbage die[/h1] What happens when you try to ride off the success of Roblox's monetization and CS2's skin market, but you forget to actually make it fun. Complete and utter garbage. Soulless slop. A community that will literally attempt to DOX you if you talk bad on the "game" because they are highly invested in the NFT skin market. Garry does not care about developers, he is just paying them part of the playfund to unofficially contract people to make slop for his Roblox ripoff.
