5 new mobile games to try this week – March 6th, 2025

Ah, who doesn’t love fishing on the wide open sea? It’s just you, your boat, and the vast expanse of blue all around you – until the sun comes down and the horrors of the deep start emerging onto the surface, that is. This eldritch horror fishing simulator will have you fighting for your life as you grapple with horrific Lovecraftian mutations, all to make it back to shore with your boat – and your sanity – intact.

Thankfully, you can upgrade your boat to help you navigate the fog each time you venture out – a compelling loop that might just have you questioning why you ever thought fishing would be remotely relaxing in the first place. You can learn more about the experience from our in-depth review!

The titular tomb raider leaps back onto mobile, letting you whip out your dual pistols as you platform your way across the Mexican jungle. Along the way, you’ll uncover hidden temple secrets, grab valuable loot, and buff up your arsenal with epic relics – if you manage to survive the toxic swamps and the spiky death traps, that is.

Of course, navigating tricky terrain means you’ll also have to solve puzzles to avoid certain death. And if it ever gets too much, you can always tag in a pal to do co-op missions locally or online – after all, a friend in need is a friend indeed, especially when you’re taking down the Keeper of Darkness himself.

Coffee, tea, or a bunch of quirky customers with quirky tastes and more than 200 stories to tell? Good Coffee, Great Coffee lets you brew the best concoctions behind the counter to satisfy your loyal clientele’s deepest caffeinated desires, with everything from a simple latte to one that “tastes like strawberries on a summer evening”.

How you manage these odd requests will determine your success as the newest coffee shop in town, and as you upgrade your cafe with cosy decors and themed cosmetics, you’ll also have to grapple with jealous rivals that’ll aim to bring you down. If nothing else, the cosy sim should charm you with its lovely visuals and relaxing ASMR – the perfect pick-me-up that’s as comforting as a warm cup of coffee on a cold winter’s day.

Mini 4WDs, Windows 95, and the looming threat of the Y2K bug – who wouldn’t want to relive the dawn of the millennium over and over again? The aptly titled A Perfect Day is a narrative puzzler that will let you experience the last day of 1999 over and over again – it’s a trip down memory lane that you or may not have the courage to break free from.

Featuring seven time segments to experience and 11 main characters to get to know, A Perfect Day puts you in the shoes of an elementary schoolboy who needs to help his family and friends achieve the titular perfection. All these are presented with painterly visuals that add to the nostalgia across the Groundhog Day-esque narrative.

Complete with pixel-art visuals and an old-school 8-bit soundtrack, this retro RPG will have you battling monsters as you delve deeper into the dungeon on a quest to the fabled Core. Customisation options abound so you can tailor your experience based on your skill preferences and playstyle, with roguelike gameplay mechanics that spice up each new turn.

There are 12 playable classes to choose from, along with more than 30 Spirits you might just encounter to help you along the way. Craft your gear to survive your journey across six handcrafted zones – and if you’re feeling a little creative, you can even build your own custom dungeon that’ll put Thanatos himself to shame.

All these come with accessibility for visually impaired players, with optimised controls and VoiceOver support to make the dungeon-crawling experience as inclusive as can be.
