Dying Light box art
Name: Dying Light
Release date: January 26, 2015
Platforms: PC, XONE, PS4
Genre: Action Adventure

Description

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.

Recommendation

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.

Key store recommendations

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:

  1. Just know there is a tiny risk. Either your purchase will fail and you will use your money, or that the key you recieved won't work. It has never happened to us or anyone we know, but it has certainly happened to a number of people on the internet. That is partly the nature of the business, partly un-consumer business practices of some of the stores. In 99.9 % of cases, the purchase will be ok, but sometimes it won't.
  2. If the price is not cheaper on key stores (it almost always is, though), then we recommend to buy from the traditional, established retailers.
  3. If it is a store with multiple sellers with ratings, always pick the one with the highest number of sold keys and ratings. The probability of a successful purchase is much higher if buying from a reputable key seller.
