Why God mode for that? I would think that playing a game on easy or

When I say exploring I mean doing things like just walking through
walls
in FPS

I did a bit of googlefoo and the answer seems to be yes. Personally I

actually get out of it.

Also to explore without having to worry about dying, find hidden rooms
with no entrance, or all the secret areas.  Not having to come back
later with key x to open a door (personally I hate that, but haven't
gone that far.)

 That sounds great sometimes.  Which game and cheat do I need? :-)

I'm sure you can look up which, I never used it, it seemed like it took too much challenge out of games.  I did briefly use wizard mode which lets you save your game in Nethack, except it didn't help that much other than with experimenting.  I think sometimes the walking through walls part is called wall-hack?
I'm pretty sure a lot of console ports have things like that.  I think at least some of the earlier Doom, and other FPS games did too
Bethesda has a lot of console commands you can use without even using mods.  Apparently tgm is the command in console to turn on god mode. hit ~ to open the console.  Then type: tgm<enter> and ~ again to exit console mode.
I remember infinite ammo/no reloading is a popular cheat/mod in a lot of FPSs as well.
Cheat Engine often has tables for any offline games, or you can set up invulnerability pretty easy.  I mostly use Cheat Engine to speed up games that have tedious parts or slow them down when they're too fast paced for my old reflexes (but yet I'm somehow reasonably good at souls games without any cheats. Oh yes, I did cheat past some very tedius farming for materials in DS1 on my SL1 character, after I'd already finished the game a couple times, and proved I could farm them, it was just would have been many many hours of farming.)  Also auto-pickup armor & weapon boxes in EDF as it's too tedious to farm in hardest/inferno otherwise, really it's too tedious in inferno even doing that.
