it looks like classic sandbox but under the hood its a mess. the devs never played the real gmod sandbox it seems you dont even have a undo button! its like those shitty bigcity "sandbox" servers in gmod where you join and everyone spams props , kills eachother and drives the jeep around. not a single proper tool in there to build stuff with. and have you used the slider once? its even worse than in gmod, how is that even possible. not the kind of sandbox i wasted almost 4k hours in back then. not worth playing

Well, Sandbox++ is nothing special. Its just a Garrys Mod reskin for the normal Sandbox mode by Facepunch. For people that miss the oldschool HUD its defenitley something.

This is how S&box sandbox should feel in its normal state—pure nostalgia. It gives strong GMod vibes all over again, and that alone makes it really enjoyable to play. The foundation is already great, but it definitely needs more weapons, more content, and especially more players to really reach its full potential. If the playerbase grows and updates keep coming, this could easily blow up again. I really hope the hype comes back, because the core feeling is already there—it just needs more depth and variety.

Nice main menu and V-key noclip. Otherwise, it’s just a straight copy of the default sandbox mode.

It's the same as the normal sandbox in S&Box, the only thing that changes is the menu, which, when you pause the game, is similar to gmod, There are no new functions for the tool gun, it's basically the same.

Not much different than Facepunch's s&box other than the Main menu but suprisingly performs better than Facepunch's. Just add a playermodel selector in this and its leagues better than Facepunch's

A nice improvement over the default sandbox mode created by Facepunch.

The official Sandbox mode in s&box falls far short of its legendary predecessor for now. At this stage, it feels more like a technical showcase for the Source 2 engine rather than a true replacement for Garry's Mod.Falls short of the original: The game lacks the chaos, freedom, and endless variety of tools that everyone is used to in GMod.Requires heavy polishing: The physics can act weird at times, the user interface needs work, and many core features feel unrefined.Faith in Facepunch: Despite the current flaws, there is strong trust in the developers. Garry Newman’s team knows how to polish games, so the future looks bright.It is a great foundation for a future platform, but Garry and his team still have a massive amount of work ahead of them.
