After 100 hours of The Binding of Isaac creator's new cat breeding roguelike Mewgenics, I'm not surprised it's the highest-rated game of 2026 so far

Mewgenics.

Mewgenics – the new cat breeding roguelike from the creator of The Binding of Isaac – is the first game in 2026 to score in the 90s on Metacritic and Opencritic.

After 13 years since its original announcement, Mewgenics has finally been released. And while the game went through a cancellation and reboot in that time, against all odds, it's both managed to live up to the expectations of the long wait and the expectations of following up one of the best roguelike games ever made in The Binding of Isaac – which was apparently just the devs testing out roguelikes before making Mewgenics.
