They be talking about different
game here.
You can edit save, but that doesn't limit the abilities of Cheat Engine (CE). Different things, different possibilities.
You can even use both, if you want.
CE allows you to freeze health/stamina/ammo values, and just running around and interacting with the mobs without dropping health is kinda fun. It's also available at "runtime", without the need to save-exit-edit-load every time you want to add or freeze something like ammo.
Also, using CE doesn't interupt the game flow -- you probably won't get to have all the cool weapons/items from the start, possibly leading to breaking game. You can experience the game 'as is', but in easy modo.
While save edit does give you some control over game progress, it's a different thing. It won't let you freeze anything. You have to have some basic knowledge on how the items are stored, and you have to be careful to not break your save. You have to have a save in the first place for it to be edited.
For CE you will have to know numbers, number search, edit/freeze, it's less likely to break your save.
Seems like you might have some control over items when editing save, like "getGunAndKye" and "getRifle", and you can set ammo to 200+ for your convenience, which is nice. But that doesn't entirely resolve the fun/need of CE.
