    Okay, it's true I'm a bit late with this announcement, but I think I
    can still sneak it in before rms or ant notice and steal my precious,
    precious Internet Points. I've got plans for those points, you see;
    big plans!

    * Down in Bermuda
    https://store.epicgames.com/p/down-in-bermuda
    This one is a little indie adventure game; puzzles seem a
    mix of hidden-object and basic logic conundrums. Point-n-click
    your way out of the Bermuda Triangle. Looks okay, though
    the art-style just isn't very appealing to me.


    * Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered https://store.epicgames.com/p/tomb-raider-iiii-remastered-538640
    These games need little introduction; they defined
    action/adventure gaming in the late 90s and early 2000s.
    The remastered edition adds some QOL features (mainly
    improved controls) and slightly better graphics, but
    mechanically the game feels very much its age. I've a fondness
    for them, but they're not really anything I'd ever recommend
    new players buy. But as a freebie, it's worth grabbing just
    to see how far we've come.

    Not a bad offering this week. Epic must have dug deep into the couch
    cushions to get us some nice games this time. Will this trend
    continue? I guess we'll find out in seven days!
