Mewgenics review - 100 hours later, this is the deepest strategy game I've played in years

Overview

  • Early reviews place the cat-breeding tactics roguelike at about 90 on Metacritic and OpenCritic, the highest-rated game of 2026 so far.
  • Release is set for February 10 on Windows PC, with at least one review reporting smooth performance on both PC and Steam Deck.
  • Critics praise unusually deep, systemic turn-based strategy built around breeding, class and trait synergies, and a long progression loop.
  • Coverage notes a polarizing dark, gross-out sense of humor, with some reviewers calling it unfunny despite the strong mechanics.
  • Developers Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel emphasize a polished 1.0 launch after a long, reworked development, with future additions planned via updates or DLC.
