Sure, we're only seven weeks into the year, but Mewgenics has already established itself as one of this year's breakout success stories. There are those that argue the latest game from the mind behind The Binding of Isaac was always guaranteed to be a hit, and there's a sliver of truth to that. However, seeing it swiftly surpass a million units sold and beat Hades 2's all-time Steam peak player count is a genuine, pleasant surprise. That surprise extends to the developers of the game itself, with Mewgenics' co-creator Tyler Glaiel saying that its huge success has "blindsided" him, greatly exceeding the amount of Steam wishlists it had before launch.
