Shapez

This game shows I'm autistic but productive (kinda)

Shape up and ship out.

Not my sort of game but clearly fantastic for those who are partial to these games. 7/10

Shapez is a puzzle game in which you create, color, and combine different geometric shapes. The goal is to produce a fixed number of a specific shape, which changes with every level. As you progress, you gain access to a larger and more advanced variety of equipment, as well as various upgrades. In order to create a specific shape, you first need to extract the closest matching shape using an extractor. Then, according to the required design, you'll need to cut, rotate, color, and combine it with other shapes to achieve the desired result. Everything is connected through a network of production lines (belts), and the finished shapes must be delivered to your central hub. You play every level on the same map, eventually forcing you to make compromises with the limited space around that hub. Needless to say, this game will test your creativity and requires a certain degree of engineering sense. Combining shapes is fun and satisfying, but after advancing several levels, you'll need to produce thousands upon thousands of the required shape. At this point, Shapez basically becomes an idle game - you create the machinery needed to produce your goal, and then you simply wait until enough units have been delivered. In terms of presentation, Shapez looks and sounds pretty plain, which isn't really a downside for a puzzle game. The levels are endless, although you stop unlocking upgrades after reaching level 26. Unfortunately, the gameplay becomes rather repetitive long before that. I would recommend Shapez to anyone who enjoys engineering and algorithms, regardless of age. The game is fun, albeit for a limited amount of time. It's basically a poor man's Factorio. Score (out of 10): [h1][b]6.5[/b][/h1]
