Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for PS4 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 3,400, in stock at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This single-disc action-adventure title carries an ESRB Mature 17+ rating and bundles the full base game with all seven bonus challenge crypts, plus every downloadable weapon, outfit, and skill released for the game. Published by Square Enix and built by Eidos-Montreal with Crystal Dynamics, Shadow of the Tomb Raider closes Lara Croft's origin trilogy. The disc runs on PS4 and stays playable on PS5 through backward compatibility.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition suits PS4 owners across Kenya who want a long single-player story without monthly subscriptions or constant internet. University students at USIU, Strathmore, and the University of Nairobi can play the full campaign offline between classes, which matters when data bundles run tight. The main story runs roughly 12 to 15 hours, then stretches past 30 hours once you clear every crypt, side mission, and collectible. For players tired of online-only titles that demand steady Safaricom or Airtel data, this disc loads once and runs entirely from your console.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only the newest console releases, Mascom International keeps proven catalogue titles like Shadow of the Tomb Raider at a fair KSh 3,400. Players across Nairobi tell us they return to this disc for its puzzle crypts and its South American jungle setting. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for single-player story games that hold their value years after launch. Walk into our Nairobi CBD store to confirm the disc condition before paying, or order Shadow of the Tomb Raider for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
What is included in Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for PS4?
The Definitive Edition bundles the complete base game with all seven bonus challenge crypts released after launch. You also get every downloadable weapon, outfit, and skill, including the Croft Fitness training outfit. Everything is contained in this single physical disc, so you are not paying extra for season-pass add-ons later. For KSh 3,400, this is the most complete version of the game published for PS4, ready to play straight from the case.
How long does it take to finish Shadow of the Tomb Raider?
The main story takes roughly 12 to 15 hours depending on how carefully you explore. If you chase every optional crypt, side mission, and hidden collectible, completion stretches past 30 hours, and full 100 percent runs can reach 40 hours. This makes the KSh 3,400 price work out to a few shillings per hour of play. Players who enjoy puzzles and exploration often spend longer, since the jungle map rewards backtracking with new gear.
Is Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition worth KSh 3,400 in Kenya?
Yes, especially against new PS5 titles that cost KSh 6,000 and above in Nairobi. You get a full single-player campaign plus seven bonus crypts and all post-launch gear in one disc. Because it runs offline, you avoid the data costs that online games pile onto your Safaricom or Airtel bundle. At Mascom International, this title sits among our best-value action-adventure discs for buyers who want long playtime without a subscription.
Can I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on a PS5?
Yes. The PS4 disc plays on any PS5 with a disc drive through backward compatibility. You insert the disc, install the game, and play as normal. Some PS4-specific features may differ slightly on PS5, but the full campaign and all crypts run fine. This makes the disc a safe buy whether you own a PS4 today or plan to move up to a PS5 later. Your library stays usable across both consoles.
Does Shadow of the Tomb Raider need an internet connection to play?
No. The full single-player campaign runs completely offline once installed, which suits Kenyan players watching their data spend. You only need an internet connection for two optional things: the first install update and online co-op on the bonus crypts. Everything else, including the main story, all tombs in solo mode, and every unlocked outfit, works without any network. This makes it reliable during load-shedding or when home Wi-Fi drops.
What age rating does Shadow of the Tomb Raider carry?
It holds an ESRB Mature 17+ rating, with content descriptors for blood and gore, intense violence, and strong language. The game suits adult players and older teenagers, not young children. Parents buying for family use should treat it like an action film aimed at grown audiences. The story follows Lara Croft through dangerous tombs and combat encounters, so the rating reflects realistic violence rather than anything beyond standard action-adventure content.
Is Shadow of the Tomb Raider single-player or co-op?
The main campaign is strictly single-player, built around one continuous story you play alone. The seven bonus challenge crypts add optional two-player online co-op, where a friend joins your session to reach areas you cannot access solo. [SPEC CONFLICT: some retailer listings label the whole game "multiplayer"; verified developer and co-op sources confirm co-op applies only to the DLC challenge crypts, not the main story. Used the verified version.] You can complete the entire game on your own if you prefer.
Do I need to play the earlier Tomb Raider games first?
No. Shadow of the Tomb Raider works as a standalone story, though it caps the reboot trilogy that began with Tomb Raider in 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider in 2015. The opening hours catch new players up on who Lara Croft is. Fans who played the first two games get a fuller emotional payoff, but newcomers can follow the plot without confusion. The jungle setting and apocalypse stakes are introduced clearly from the start.
How does Shadow of the Tomb Raider compare to Rise of the Tomb Raider?
This entry leans harder into stealth and underwater exploration than Rise of the Tomb Raider did. Combat takes a smaller role, while puzzle crypts and traversal take centre stage. The South American jungle setting feels denser than Rise's Siberian mountains. Many players rate the tomb puzzles here as the toughest in the trilogy. If you enjoyed Rise of the Tomb Raider, this disc gives you a darker, more puzzle-focused finale to Lara's reboot journey.
