– Tomb Raider I-III Remastered: remodeled textures and modern controls, but classic level design and jump timing remain unforgiving; partial controller support noted.
– Down in Bermuda: artsy puzzle-adventure with six themed islands; praised core puzzles but heavy pixel-hunting; short 3–4 hour runtime.
Epic Games Store announces second batch of mystery free games
Epic Games Store has lifted the curtains on the second batch of mystery free games. This batch also brings two freebies, and as some users on Reddit have guessed from the hints, one of them is Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. It’s a collection of the first three entries of the series, and all of them have visual enhancements.
Remastered Tomb Raider I-III details
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered come with remodeled textures, and they give the classic Lara Croft games optimizations for current control layouts. Crystal Dynamics kept everything the same as the originals, including the secret locations and enemy patterns, which is a good thing. Players get to experience how the originals were meant to be experienced.
Old-school gameplay challenges persist
However, the original level design and jump timing are still very old-school. That means misjudging the movements or missing jumps can be unforgiving. There’s support for controllers (8BitDo Pro 3 curr. $59.99 on Amazon), but as some players note, it’s partial. On Steam, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered has over 3,400 reviews, of which 82% are positive. It costs $29.99 when not on sale, but Epic Games Store is offering it as a free game until May 28, 2026.
- Controller compatibility varies by title and platform
- Remastered visuals keep the classic feel
- Free availability runs through May 28, 2026
Second free title: Down in Bermuda
Moving to the second free game of this batch, it’s Down in Bermuda. This is an artsy puzzle-adventure with a bright and colorful art style. There are six different islands, with each featuring a distinct theme. The core puzzles are praised by players, but many criticize the heavy reliance on pixel-hunting to solve some of them.
Game length and reception
Another thing to note is that it has a short run-time. It can be finished in three to four hours, which can be good for some and bad for others. Since its release, this Epic Games Store free game has received over 1,500 reviews on Steam, among which 89% are positive. It retails for $19.99, but it will be available as a freebie from now to May 28, 2026. Check out the videos below to learn more about the current giveaway round.
- Artistic visuals and compact adventure
- Puzzles emphasize exploration and pixel-hunting
- Free until May 28, 2026
