What are cheats?
Cheats are special codes, commands, or key combinations in video games that grant players specific advantages or additional features. They can be used to simplify gameplay, unlock additional resources, become invulnerable, or explore new content.
Cheats have been used in video games for a long time, often as a type of bonus or hidden feature. They can be activated in various ways, depending on the game and the platform. Some games have built-in cheat menus, while others allow cheats to be activated through entering special codes in a console or via the keyboard.
