Review: Mewgenics (Switch 2) – Tactics Bliss Wrapped In A Hilarious, Must-Play Package
Mewgenics, the long-awaited successor from indie legend Edmund McMillen, has finally arrived on PC and is now being brought to Nintendo Switch 2. After 13 years since its initial announcement, this tactical roguelike has already proven its worth among the gaming community. McMillen previously positioned The Binding of Isaac—one of gaming’s most acclaimed and foundational roguelikes—as merely an entry point for his eventual masterwork. Those expectations, understandably lofty given the extended development time, appear to have been met. The game features tactical gameplay wrapped in a humorous package that has already resonated deeply with players. The reviewer lauds Mewgenics as a hilarious and must-play experience, with the game having already claimed the second position in their personal Steam playtime rankings, surpassed only by The Binding of Isaac itself. This achievement is remarkable given the game’s recent PC launch and speaks to its compelling gameplay loop and design. The Switch 2 release brings McMillen’s creation to Nintendo’s latest hardware, making his newest offering accessible to a broader audience and continuing his legacy of influential indie gaming experiences.
