cheats are ushally overated i say some cheats are ok some arnt at all if a cheat is in a game on porpuse by the creator then i do not classify it as a cheat it is a secret that can give a distinct advantage for finding i thing cheats can be good and bad.
Cheats can ruin the game but I think it is okay to do it once you already beat the game. So, you could find out what else there is, secret places, more weapons, etc..
It's all based on your situation. If you beat the game and you want to see how easy the game is with cheats, fine. If you're absolutely stuck and the only way to keep playing is if a prophet comes down from the heavens and aids you with GODLINESS, that is also perfectly fine. If it's in the first ten minutes, and you don't like how bad you suck and turn on god mode, then SALB, and keep playing. So I'm neutral on this subject
