Down in Bermuda & Tomb Raider I-III Remastered are Free on Epic

Monday, Alexx got excited about another Rogue-like (shocker!), Bravo Gaspar!, and Unpacking-like Momento releases in June. Tuesday, the international/World Cup update for FM26 releases on Tuesday, there is a Snowpiercer-like city-builder being made, and there is a demo out now for Dreadmoor. Wednesday, there is a demo out now for Jarred Defense, and a cozy desktop companion game, Focus Grove, got a release date. Thursday, details were revealed for the F1 25 2026 Season Pack DLC, and like Jazz Sabbath, there are Jazz versions of songs from Ocarina of Time. Personally, I prefer Crack Sabbath’s “Bar Slut.”

Moving on to the Epic Games Store, there is another triple bill this week across both PC and mobile. I think we’ll start with the mobile offering, which was originally published by Netflix Games on mobile, Monument Valley III, back in 2024 upon its release. The third (of course) offering in ustwo games’ casual indie puzzle game series, Monument Valley III, for whatever reason doesn’t have as much umph behind it as the prior two offerings. Reviews are less gung-ho, and I’ll admit I hear less about this variation on simple M. C. Escher-inspired puzzles than its predecessors.

Sticking with a puzzle theme but moving to PC for this one, Yak & Co’s 2021 cartoonish point-and-click adventure puzzle game, Down in Bermuda, seems to be a little bit of a hidden gem? Based on the idea of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances, you play as a pilot who does a Tom Hanks and goes crazy, solving puzzles on the islands of Bermuda to unlock the secrets and find your way back home. While you’re at it, bring back Amelia Earhart. Shut up, I know she disappeared in the Pacific.

The third offering this week is also a puzzle game, but unlike the prior two, I’ve been playing it since before its release, and still decades before that. I might be biased because I am right, but Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft are three of the best puzzle games you’ll play, with some proper danger for getting puzzles wrong. It also happens to be one of the better remasters of any game because it has the original graphical elements and a new style to interchange between, with the latter telling old folks like me with rose-tinted specs we haven’t gone crazy.

Of course, this is the one I have more of an opinion on because of an established history, and I reviewed it when it was released back in 2024. Tomb Raider (the proper ones) is part of why I fell in love with games in the first place, with the third one being so beautifully crafted that it is easily one of the greatest games of all time. Never mind that it is a puzzle game, it is adventure and action in there too, long before a smug American with a double-wide fridge with a photocopy of Nathan Fillion’s face on it became the norm in the genre.

All this week, you can pick up Down in Bermuda and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft on the Epic Games Store for PC until the 28th of May. You can also pick up Monument Valley III on the Epic Games Store for mobile until the 28th. The mystery offerings due to the MEGA sale continue next week, and I swear if we’re still doing this through to the 11th, I’m going to have more strong words for someone who defended AI that undressed underage women without their consent. Yeah, Tim, I didn’t forget that, did you?
