Step aside Hades 2, a game about breeding neurospicy cats just became the best-performing roguelike ever
Mewgenics has been a bona fide hit, but then again, who expected anything different? Edmund McMillen is the mind behind Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, and has been working on this cat-breeding roguelike for 14 years. His long-time collaborator, Tyler Glaiel, has a similarly impressive and varied CV. With the goodwill of all fans in their sails and a cracking game to share with the world, there was no doubt that Mewgenics could rise to the top of 2026's gaming offerings. But nobody expected it to grow quite so big, quite so fast.
