This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider for PlayStation 4
Shadow of the Tomb Raider revolves around Lara Croft crossing Central and South American ruins, using jungles for stealth, solving tombs and trying to stop a Mayan apocalypse she unleashed. Controls, objectives and progression were checked separately for this PS4 version, keeping the description tied to the offered disc without promising later edition content.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider builds progression around Lara Croft crossing Central and South American ruins, using jungles for stealth, solving tombs and trying to stop a Mayan apocalypse she unleashed. New objectives bring systems together and demand increasing awareness. You learn which actions, equipment or routes fit a situation and immediately notice when timing or preparation can improve. This gives the campaign a clear rhythm without attributing features from other platforms or later reissues to this PS4 disc.
This description covers the physical PlayStation 4 edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The disc and product title determine the supplied edition. Codes, subscriptions, downloadable packs and network features count only when demonstrably included with this used copy and the external service still works. Controls and rules are in the game or electronic help; no full paper manual is promised for this modern PS4 release. Mission structure, enemy behaviour, saving and the shape of individual play sessions are also explained from this PS4 version, keeping expectations for the physical disc concrete.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Shadow of the Tomb Raider for PlayStation 4 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Eidos-Montréal developed Shadow of the Tomb Raider; Square Enix released the PS4 edition on 14 september 2018. The project found its place in the series through Lara Croft crossing Central and South American ruins, using jungles for stealth, solving tombs and trying to stop a Mayan apocalypse she unleashed. This physical version is treated as the original PS4 release, so later patches, downloads, remasters and sequels are not silently added to the disc. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
The release arrived in a generation where larger worlds, faster storage and network services increasingly sat beside disc content. Campaign, local features and edition content are therefore separated here from accounts, servers and loose codes. This clarifies what historically belonged to Shadow of the Tomb Raider and what was a later or external provision. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
The PlayStation 4 edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider was checked separately for platform, product title, delivery and original instructions. The description preserves this version's technical and content boundaries. Historical online features are not promised as available, while demonstrable solo and local disc content remains the baseline. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes. The review is deliberately limited to the original PS4 release and the demonstrable content of this edition.
