Our recommendation
Borderlands 2 is an FPS developed by Gearbox Studios and a sequel to Borderlands. The game is set on a planet called Pandora, where players choose one of the base characters, called Vault Hunters, and go to a path to destroy the game's antagonist, Handsome Jack, alongside many others.
The gameplay is based on the player, by himself or with up to three other players, performing quests tied to the main story and fighting various enemies with his character's abilities and the game's many guns. The game has a procedural weapons system, so there are potentially millions of unique weapons combinations. This prompts the gameplay to be based on getting better and better loot and upgrading your character.
Borderlands 2 was released to major critical and community acclaim, with praise for the art style, weapons, fun gameplay and unique enemies. It was mainly criticized for its main story, which serves as more of a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a force that drives it.
We recommend it if you like fun first-person shooters, don't mind the art style, and mainly if you have buddies to play with in coop. Many players feel that that's when the game is the most fun.

Key resellers are sites that sell game keys at (usually) much lower prices than traditional retailers. They do this through a combination of ways, like selling keys that come in a bundle, that were on a sale and many other ways.
The reason why we separated them from traditional retailers is that these stores have been the subject of a divisive discussion for a long time.
The reason we include them is that you can buy keys on these sites usually for very big discounts, sometimes quite ridiculously cheap. In 99 % of cases, they will work the same as a much more expensive key would. For many people, especially people from countries with lower standards of living, this can mean big savings that have a significant impact on their life, while also playing the game and not resorting to piracy.
If you are buying on these stores, we have a few recommendations to follow:
