Mewgenics

Players could likely get years of entertainment from Mewgenics, especially if the developers continue to update the game post-release, as with the robust degree of content additions The Binding of Isaac received. I’ve found myself consumed by this game, dreaming about combat grids and sinking hours into trying to create the strongest cats this world has ever seen. It’s a true feat for a game to walk the line between juvenile and complex, and Mewgenics does it deftly.

It’s one of the first roguelites I’ve played where a bad roll of the dice leaves me excited, not deflated. Whether RNG blazes a path to success, or I’m handed Blasto, my chirpy Hunter cursed with a trait that gave him a zero movement stat, essentially paralysing him, I love the weird odyssey it sends me on. Whatever happens, I know I'll come back with a corker of a story. And it’ll almost certainly involve poo. [RPS Bestest Bests]
