Shapez 2 is a Steam gem that has completely stolen all my free time

My current obsession isShapez 2. It’s part puzzle game, part factory simulator, where you set up endless conveyor belts and machines to interact with each other, like a fancy Rube Goldberg machine. The premise is so simple, yet the ridiculous complicated nature of the gameplay quickly takes over. When I say obsession, I genuinely mean it. I turn the game off after a mammoth session and I’m still thinking about it....
