I have been "stalking" these forums for a while and finally decided to make a thread.
I'm looking for an action game(fighting or shooting or something similar) with ragdoll physics and, if possible, some manipulation of scenery objects (pots, rocks, anything like that.) Though I would prefer it to be freeware, or at least a demo, because I don't like giving out money over the internet.
Thanks.

Gmod 9 or 10

Gmod 9 and 10 aren't freeware.

9 needs Half-life to run.

10 isn't even standalone, because you still need the source engine from another game to run it.

The game that comes to mind is Dark Messiah: Might And Magic, there's probably a demo out there. There's also Blade Of Darkness, but that's a commercial game too (There's also a demo), it doesn't have ragdoll physics, but the dismemberment and rigid body physics engine more than makes up for it.

Amazingly,The general idea was somewhat based around those two games (I have Blade of Darkness and I love it!) I was also planning on getting Dark Messiah. Sadly my computer can't run Dark Messiah but I am getting a new computer in a few weeks.
Also, I love Cortex Command.
Thanks for the help :) .

Toribash should fulfill the ragdoll physics urge, plus its just a plain fun game. You may be able to find a free older version of it, as the game is now shareware.

Surely this is due to my psychic powers. :P

Well, if you've heard of both of them already then I can only suggest Die By the Sword, and Jurassic Park: Trespasser. Both of these are a bit old (From around 1998) but were ahead of their times in both technology and gameplay, unfortunately these were both commercial games; I'm pretty sure you could find some demos easily enough, they each have a cult following.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Soldat has ragdoll physics, but it doesn't have scene interaction. Well, there are colliders, but...

Just got my new computer so I'm going to try out Dark messiah when I save up a bit more money. Thanks c--b and everyone else for their contributions!
