Metro GameCentral Spotlights Best New Mobile Games for March

1. Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light

This is listed by GameCentral as a Tomb Raider spin‑off and appears on mobile as a touchscreen port. Metro’s page references a key art image for Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light, which signals the editors consider it a headline pick for the month. I flagged this one first because classic Tomb Raider IP on touch devices is a high-visibility release; ports can vary wildly in control quality, so verify whether Metro’s version is a native touch rework or a direct port with virtual sticks before you commit.

2. I Am Your Beast

GameCentral calls this a first person shooter and groups it with touchscreen ports in the same sentence as Lara Croft. That puts I Am Your Beast squarely in the “how well do FPS controls translate to touch” conversation. Expect the same verification needs as the Lara Croft title: check whether aim assist, gyroscope support, or redesigned UI landed in the mobile build, because those are the differences that decide whether an FPS feels playable for long sessions on iPhone or Android.

3. Stair Quest

GameCentral describes this as an “all‑new roguelite Stair Quest” and even uses the phrase “almost self‑explanatory Stair Quest.” That wording suggests the core loop is deliberately minimalist: climb, survive, repeat. As an all‑new roguelite presence in a month that Metro calls unusually iOS‑orientated, Stair Quest is the one to watch if you want an indie-first experience rather than nostalgia-driven ports. Confirm developer, release timing, and whether progression is gated by monetization, because roguelites range from generous one-time purchases to grindy IAP models.

4. Grand Mountain Adventure 2

Metro lists Grand Mountain Adventure 2 with clear platform and pricing details: “iOS & Android, free – full game £7.99 (Toppluva).” That makes this entry the clearest consumer proposition on the roundup: you can download for free and, based on Metro’s snippet, unlock the full game for £7.99. Toppluva is explicitly named next to that price line, so treat them as the publisher here. If you care about value-per-pound, this is the release to prioritize: a free entry with a single full-game price is often a cleaner mobile offering than ad-and-IAP-driven alternatives.

6. Page context and sidebar items you should know

Metro’s GameCentral frames this as “a round‑up of top new iOS and Android games launching this March,” and calls the month “unusually iOS‑orientated.” The page also runs adjacent stories and blurbs that show the editorial environment for these picks, for example the headline “Jet and Hunter among Gladiators legends 'making a comeback after 25 years'” and a “MORE:” cluster linking to articles about PS5 rentals, Nintendo Switch 2 sales predictions, and The Last Of Us creator comments. Those extras don’t change the mobile picks, but they do indicate Metro’s gaming front page crossover traffic and why certain highlights get prominent placement.

7. Metro Shorts, deals and the stray “Score: 7/10”

The page includes a “Metro Shorts” section with a “metro deals” sublist naming Bannatyne Spa, Mystery Escape, Beach Retreat (Lanzarote), UK Getaway, and Drive Supercars. Separately the snippet contains the text “Score: 7/10” but the supplied material does not connect that score to any specific game or deal. Treat that score as ambiguous until the full article or the Metro review context clarifies what was graded and who graded it.

8. How Metro wants to hear from you and legal copy to note

Metro’s GameCentral page explicitly instructs: “Email gamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.” It also directs readers for submissions: “To submit Inbox letters and Reader’s Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use our Submit Stuff page here.” For subscription and privacy, Metro pushes “Sign up for exclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content,” and reminds readers that “This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
