    The gameplay recording software has received mixed reviews, with many users praising its high-quality recording capabilities and user-friendly interface, making it suitable for both gameplay and general screen recording. However, several users have reported issues with file corruption, audio-video desynchronization, and lag during recording, particularly on less powerful PCs. Overall, while it offers good features for capturing gameplay, reliability concerns may lead some users to consider alternative options like OBS for live streaming.

    • “Very good, I can record my gameplays in high quality without losing performance, more FPS than using OBS or NVIDIA GeForce.”
    • “With its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with streaming platforms, and the ability to capture stunning gameplay moments, this software is a must-have for any gamer looking to share their adventures with the world.”
    • “Action is the best screen/gameplay recorder ever; its interface is very easy to use and is also really pretty.”
    • “Imagine recording gameplay for over 2 hours, only to find that the file is corrupted once you stop recording.”
    • “For gameplay recording, it might have a lot of support, but it's so unreliable.”
    • “Update: the recordings have had desync sound issues with your webcam and gameplay. This is a new issue because I've been using this program for years and never had this problem until now.”

  • optimization

    116 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 64% neutral mentions, 3% negative mentions

    Overall, the optimization of the software is generally praised, with many users reporting minimal impact on game performance while recording in high quality. However, some users have noted specific issues, such as performance drops in certain games and compatibility problems with editing software like DaVinci Resolve. While it works well on lower-end PCs, there are concerns about its optimization for mid-range systems, suggesting that performance may vary based on hardware capabilities.

    • “From a technical standpoint, the software seems to promise compatibility and efficiency with standard video parameters, recommending an mp4 format, h264 encoding, and a bitrate of approximately 36992.06 kbps for optimal performance.”
    • “A great recording software with little impact on your performance, recommend if you have a weak computer.”
    • “It uses your GPU in the most optimized way to ensure smooth recording of high-definition games and can display your current and average frame rate while playing to save your benchmark results.”
    • “I'd strongly recommend you to use different software than wasting your money on this low performance app.”
    • “I am observing this thing since 2021, there's no major performance tweak since then.”
    • “Action has had a lot of glaring issues that have never gotten fixed such as a massive performance hit on DX9 games even with NVENC on, no MKV container support or remuxing (so if your MP4 recordings get interrupted other than stopping the recording, the video is totally borked and unrecoverable), and poor customer support.”

  • graphics

    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    28% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The graphics aspect of the software has received mixed reviews, with some users praising its output quality at 1080p and 50/60 fps, while others criticize the recent updates for their aesthetic changes and functionality issues, particularly with integrated graphics usage. Many users note that the software can be resource-intensive and may not fully utilize higher-end graphics cards, leading to performance drops if settings are not adjusted. Overall, it is seen as a decent option for recording, especially for those with AMD graphics cards, but improvements in coding and driver compatibility are suggested.

    • “Very easy to use, graphics output is really nice.”
    • “It records all my videos at 1080p at a solid 50/60 fps, which I believe to be pretty awesome considering the horrible graphics card I have.”
    • “It's simply the best gaming recorder for NVIDIA graphic cards, very useful and easy to use.”
    • “Update 17/06/2023 | 4.32.0 version - to be honest, the new icon and launching graphic is just ugly, the previous was aesthetic, the update is not going as well as before.”
    • “Sure it's easy to use, but it eats way too many resources, its recording quality isn't really standout, and it somehow manages to screw up my graphic card's driver.”
    • “No matter what I change in the NVIDIA control panel or in the options menu, the software still uses my integrated graphics card instead of my NVIDIA GPU.”

  • stability

    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 90% negative mentions

    Users report significant stability issues with the application, including frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes, particularly after updates. While some have experienced improvements on newer hardware, many still face persistent problems that hinder usability, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. Overall, the software's stability remains a major concern, with users often unable to rely on it for consistent performance.

    • “It runs great, it outperforms any other software I have used, and it is super user-friendly.”
    • “Very simple to set up and runs great with all games I have played so far!”
    • “Since recent updates, and I do not know which one caused the issue, for me and what seems to be like other users as well, has caused the application to no longer work and resulted in a mixed bag of buggy messes with no means to roll back to an older version.”
    • “It has so many bugs, glitches, and crashes almost after every update, and that's a really annoying thing!”
    • “Constant glitches make this whole program unable to be run for me; I have never even seen the menu as it freezes my whole computer at the boot screen.”

  • music

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    Users praise the music aspect of the recording software for its ability to separate audio tracks, allowing for high-quality recordings of gameplay and other content without the worry of copyright issues. The introduction of the orisound function in the 4.17.0 update has enhanced the recording experience, although some users note occasional issues with tinny or echoing sounds that can be masked with music during editing. Overall, the software is well-received for its versatility and quality in handling various audio sources.

    • “Using this since 2017, I believe, now with the 4.17.0 update that introduced the orisound function, it made recording gaming sessions better because now I don't need to worry about copyrighted music or other audio seeping into the recording. It especially helps me when music is quietly playing in the background.”
    • “I love it! I use it for YouTube as a joke, and it records great in-game, out of game, with sound/music separate from clips, and it gives great quality.”
    • “Sometimes the recording has a tinny, echoing sound, which really sticks out unless you mask it with music in editing.”
    • “Speed changes of the soundtrack can result in a clip where the video channel is longer than the sound channels due to the speed changes.”
    • “Multiple soundtracks are possible.”

  • humor

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor aspect of the software is highlighted by its potential to capture both triumphant and comedic moments in gaming, likening them to "oscar-worthy" content. However, users express frustration with technical issues, such as crashes and corrupted files, which detract from the enjoyment and reliability of capturing these humorous moments. Overall, while the intent is to provide a platform for humor, the execution is marred by significant performance problems.

    • “It's a screen capture tool that turns your gaming triumphs and hilarious fails into Oscar-worthy moments.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, with some expressing frustration over the repetitive nature of the tasks required to progress.

    • “However, this can become tedious, at least for me.”

  • story

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
