Released in 2026, the game blends base‑building, resource hauling, environmental puzzles, and visceral vehicular combat with a character‑forward narrative led by G, a charismatic radio host and conspiracy theorist whose voice steers both missions and moral choices. It’s equal parts road trip and apocalypse: you’ll scavenge scrap, improvise weapons, fortify a hideout, and outfit your bus with armor, rams, and circular saws to turn it into a roaring zombie‑clearing machine, all while factional power struggles and player decisions shape the island’s fate.

Mewgenics (PC) Review: A brutally clever tactical roguelike where every cat life — and death — matters

Mewgenics finally arrives on PC after years of anticipation, launching on February 10, 2026 , and it is every bit as strange, punishing, and brilliant as fans hoped. Created by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, Mewgenics is a turn-based tactical roguelike built around cursed cats, grotesque humor, and long-term generational strategy. It’s a game that dares players to fail repeatedly — and then asks them to learn, adapt, and breed something stronger from the wreckage. This is not a lighthearted pet sim despite its premise. Beneath the cartoonish cats and crude jokes lies a deeply tactical experience that rewards patience, foresight, and mastery of layered systems. Every run feels personal, every loss instructional, and every victory earned. Tactical combat that demands respect Combat in Mewgenics unfolds on small grid-based arenas where positioning, turn order, and ability timing are everything. Each cat has distinct stats, mutations, and skills that dramatically affect how they ...
