ACTION! Game Recorder
The Best Game Recording Software for Windows
★★★★★
Short review for action after using it to stream on twitch and record youtube videos. Its pretty damn effective it has the tools to stream perfectly, record without curruption and control the flow of data while streaming to stop it cutting out. I would highly recommend this software. I will continue to use this for a long time and the large sales make it even better. Also the ability to boarder certain windows to record is a life saver when streaming.

The most amazing recording software I've ever used, the simple layout made my experience recording and streaming so much easier, while providing a plethora of options for my microphone, sound, streaming, recording, and more.

Action is one of the best game recording programs that I could've ever purchased. Fancy GUI with low CPU usage. Lots of settings to maximize your gaming experience. You can record, screenshot, do almost anything with action. Most of my hours on action are AFK but I highly recommend this program. I also want to give you a tip, this game is 50% more expensive on steam than it is on their official website. Just buy it on the website, trust me. I made a mistake. Action is a must buy for professional recording.

The best video game recorder I have ever used (and I tried a lot of video recorders, like fraps, obs, dxtory, playclaw). The price is a little high, but is worth it. The fps drop when you start recording is really low, pretty much depending on the game (...). Good quality of the videos recorded, it has customizable hotkeys, streaming to twitch or youtube is easy to do, decent clarity when you stream. Never had any big problems with the program, it always worked for me( that's why I have 2000hrs of recording time with it). if you are not convinced here is a video I recorded for youtube with it.
