I think the architecture is a bit odd, I am more used to making my own curated list of addons and sharing that list (steam workshop) instead of having everything load from the cloud, ideally we should be able to choose what we get in sandbox (NPCs, weapons, Props etc.)

The toybox style spawn menu really sucks, especially for online. A big part of GMod Sandbox was curating your own experience. Here everything just blends together as a generic smorgasbord and meaningful modding beyond props and weapons can barely exist. This level of personalization combined with a server browser is what allowed GMod Sandbox to be so diverse in experience and replayable rather then just a physic showcase.

boring as hell you cant do really much spawn objetcs and NPCs and using some tools but thats all, the perfomance is trash i spawn only 4 npcs and the game goes to 60-70 fps to 10 fps and when NPCs shoot or take action, it looks absolutely terrible gmood addons that improve their behavior are 100% better i really can't say much other than how disappointing this attempt to bring the Garry's Mod sandbox to Source 2 is; there's reallery nothung you can add like "addons" becuase there isn't any. this needs alot of rework but s&box sadly is just a paid copy of roblox with ai generated content,

Add more NPCs to it or give the players the option to design their own as NPC templates something like Paint the Town Red, or like it is in the character menu, but they exist as separate NPCs, but used for spawning in instead of relying on whats there, and maybe add the bad guys and friendly guys category as well. Also the ragdolls could be better because it feels like the gravity is off like the timescale is turned up too high. Something like bouncy, but rigid enough that looks good when downing a NPC when using a certain type of weapon. If able to, maybe add euphoria to it. Righ now, it doesn't feel good, but that is just me being too spoiled from the platoons of mods coming from the original game.

As a game it's shit - barely anything to do. But if you use it to open maps without editor - it's pretty fucking great

Needs a looottt of work, even after 9 years in development. Please make sandbox less confusing and for the love of all that is holy dont make S&Box a roblox clone in Source2

Why does the physics gun not appear in the toolbar? Its like they removed it from the game. Online it says you can double click 1 to make it appear but it doesn't work. When spawning the official physics gun its just a prop you cant use.

Generally a downgrade from classic Gmod sandbox mode. The good parts are physics, asset design (props) and npc behavior. Other than that it just feels uncomfortable to play. The camera wobble is insane, probably the worst part as it just makes playing around feel like a headache. The physgun is unattractive, they tried to go for a shiny new design but the beam of light is like a razorblade to the eyeballs, a simple design would've been better. The spawn menu is confusing and bare bones, it actually feels like half of it is missing. Generally there just isn't that much to do and the gameplay feels bloated in all the wrong places.

[EN]. Good:There are not enough of them for me at the moment.Bad:Is this a test project to showcase functions and capabilities, and to be improved by the community? Or is this considered a finished product? I don't understand.There is very little description for beginners in games like this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who got completely stuck at the very beginning, wondering "what do I press to do what I want". What I missed the most was a description of all the control keys. It would be great to add a complete list of keys right on the main page, on a separate website, or on GitHub, since there is a link to it. There are more keys being used than what is shown on the main page and in the game settings. I also needed a bit more explanation on how to interact with the project as a whole, with the objects, the differences between them, and the item tabs... --- [RU]. Плюсы: Для меня их недостаточно на данный момент. Минусы: Это тестовый проект для обзора функций и возможностей, ну и чтобы доработали сообществом? Или это считают готовым продуктом? Мне не понятно. Очень мало описания для новичков в таких играх. Я уверен не я один столкнулся с сильными затупами в самом начале "куда нажимать, что бы сделать что хочеться". Больше всего мне не хватило описания всех клавиш управления, на главной бы странице добавить весь перечень клавиш, или отдельный сайт, или на github, раз на него ссылка. Клавиш, что используются, больше чем показано на главной и в настройках самой игры. Мне было чуть больше описания как взаимодействовать с проектом в целом, с объектами, их различие, про вкладки с предметами...
