Shapez 2

Similar to its predecessor Shapez, players extract and process various resources in a procedurally generated world to supply a central hub called the "Vortex". Different types of buildings are available, such as balancers, cutters, and extractors. There are no victory conditions, and all buildings are free of cost, so factories can theoretically expand infinitely.

As more shapes are supplied and the factory expands, players need to make more complex shapes composed of many layers of cut and dyed shapes. Each shape contains up to four layers of four quadrants. In later stages of the game, players will need to supply thousands of copies of such shapes to the Vortex.

The first trailer for Shapez 2 was released on 16 August 2023. An open demo was made available on Steam on 25 January 2024, which received positive reviews from critics. Shapez 2 was released for early access on 15 August 2024. The game released into 1.0 on April 23, 2026.

On 25 June 2026, Update 1.1 was released, adding Manufacture Hard Mode, a more demanding take on the existing Manufacture Mode, as well as a variety of quality of life improvements. A cosmetic DLC, 'Hyper Skin', was also made available for purchase.

Shapez 2 received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.

Ollie Toms from Rock Paper Shotgun described the game as "peerlessly satisfying", while Lawrence Scotti from PCGamesN said that the game "maintains a zen-like atmosphere."
