PS4 Deal Of The Week: Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Definitive Edition For $18

The new Tomb Raider trilogy concluded with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and if you haven't gotten the chance to see the globe-trotting story to its end, then now's an excellent opportunity to do so. The complete Shadow of the Tomb Raider package is currently discounted in this week's Deal of the Week on the PS4's store. You can grab Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for $18, down from its regular price of $60.

The Definitive edition bundles everything you need to get the full experience, including seven additional challenge tombs to raid, and every DLC weapon, outfit, and skill released for the game. However, if you already own the base game, then the Definitive Edition upgrade is $6.

In GameSpot's Shadow Of The Tomb Raider review, critic Edmond Tran scored it a 6/10, praising its challenge tombs and great exploration but lamenting its inconsistent stealth gameplay and imprecise platforming.

"Thankfully, the parts of Tomb Raider that make it really fantastic--uncovering the mystery of ancient ruins, solving impressive challenge tombs, and exploring exotic environments--are still here in Shadow, and they are just as outstanding as they have always been," he wrote. "But the core mechanics that have been with the series for half a decade are starting to show their limitations. Making the journey to Shadow of the Tomb Raider's peaks is certainly an attractive goal, but like the challenging terrain Lara needs to traverse, the path there is getting rougher and more unpredictable."

In related news, Sony recently kicked off its Essential Picks sale, in which the PS4's best games get great discounts. This includes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition for $15, Bloodborne - Complete Edition for $17.49, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for $45. There's also a great deal at Ebay, where you can currently get a PlayStation Plus one-year membership for $38. Sony recently revealed PlayStation Plus's free games for March 2020, which you'll be able to claim next month.
