Our recommendation
Dying Light is a survival action adventure game developed by Techland, the makers of Dead Island. You play as an undercover agent of the name Kyle Crane, who is set to infiltrate a quarantine zone in the city of Haram. In that city, a viral outbreak turned most of the population into zombies.
The game features a large open world you can go around in and pursue activities, as well as developed parkour mechanics suited for such traversal. The game features major RPG elements, such as skill progressing and getting new gear. Nighttime is a big part of the game (hence the title) since suddenly much more powerful zombies come to life and you need to get into a safehouse.
Aside from very bad optimization at release, Dying Light was very positively received - the nighttime shifts provide a great atmospheric element, where you frenetically race to a safe house and check time to not get caught out in the darkness, where vampire-like crazy zombies lurk. The skill tree is fun and enables you to create exactly the type of character you want. While the story is ok, the content of the missions is very enjoyable and fun to play.
The Following is a large expansion to the game, continuing the main story now set in a big region outside the city. This 10-20 hour long DLC features a new story concerning of a centuries-old cult, many new side quests, and an ability to ride around with a dirt buggy and gather many new weapons and armor.
The Bozak Horde DLC adds the Stadium, the biggest building in the city, and within it, a horde mode of sorts. You have to battle against unrelenting hordes of zombies. As you kill more, you gain new skills.
The Ultimate Survivor Bundle DLC is composed of four weapon packs, namely the Buzz Killer, the Night Club, the Lacerator, and the Constable. It also includes a Ninja Outfit, an Urban Explorer Outfit .and a Special Agent Outfit.
This includes all other skins, namely the Crash Test Skin Pack, the Harran Ranger Bundle, the Gun Psycho Bundle, the Volatile Hunter Bundle, the White Death Bundle, and the Vintage Gunslinger Bundle.

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:
