TechRaptor
Polished Turn-based Combat
Insane Depth For Building Units
Tons of Variety in Areas, Enemies, and Other Content
Breeding Cats, Mutations and All, is Addicting
Art is Undeniably Distinct, and Music is Weirdly Amazing
Some Areas or Events Feel Maybe a Bit Too Brutal
Organizing Cats is Burdensome and Could Be Easier

GameScore.it
One of the most addictive roguelikes of the moment;
So much passion and variety inside;
Fun and long-lasting gameplay;
So much management and disruption;
Tactic in the immortal round.
High learning curve.

NerdMovieProductions
The dark humor and grotesque style of McMillen and Glaiel's works can be felt at every moment.
Many skills and items to discover make Mewgenics a strategic RPG in which to experiment.
The Switch version with mouse-style controls, touch and portable gaming mode is the best edition.
Often, one must submit to the strict karmic patterns of the NRG.
Price is a bit high, especially for those who want to take advantage of cross-progression on Switch.
Cat management subject to dynamics too close to roguelike games.

Cynical yet larger than life personality
Expansive turn-based combat with roguelite twist
Complex breeding system which challenges your morals
Experienced occasional crashes on Xbox Series X
Overworld is largely useless and breaks the pace

4players
Unimaginable complexity
introduce slowly and gradually mechanisms
The random factor is fair - the races are never too easy, but never impossibly difficult either.
Turn-based combat system with environmental interaction (fire ignites grass, weather system, etc.)
Hundreds of items, mutations, and skills offer great replayability.
Comforting message that no creature is useless.
many enemies, bosses and locations
Random events can completely upset a race.
absurd artistic style
Optimized for Steam Deck from the start
Controlling with the Steam Deck is a bit difficult.
The vocal output is just gibberish.
Some bumps occur a little too frequently.
Unlocking certain class collars can take some time.
Missing QoL features, such as a cat comparison function or a quicker overview of all present pets.

Multiplayer.it
The richest and most expansive roguelike currently available.
The deepest and most layered roguelike in circulation.
Almost perfect turn-based tactical combat system
The interactions between skills, the scenario, and enemies are insane.
Outstanding original soundtrack
This requires a lot of time and he respects it little.

MeriStation
Excessive systemic depth: classes, skills, mutations, and objects combine in an almost inexhaustible way.
Generational structure with its own identity that makes progression something unique and different.
Always interesting fights, which can surprise at any moment.
Delicious soundtrack that you never tire of listening to and humming.
A huge amount of content, in general. A game for many hours.
Edmund McMillen's style, especially in its darkest aspect, can be unpleasant.
A certain obscurantism in the functioning of key systems.
This is not a generous game with your time, nor are there short rounds.

Incredible depth
Great soundtrack
Huge variety of active and passive classes, items, mutations, and other aspects to keep the gameplay fresh
RNG can keep you on your toes
The RNG can also completely destroy your love for the game
Breeding can feel overwhelming and tedious
There's not really much of a worthwhile story
Players can feel the need to grind often
