These days I'm always on the lookout for games that will give me a little space to breathe and unwind, and The Shape of Things certainly fits that bill. The Rubik's Cube inspired puzzle game from developer Hyper Three Studio is perfect to pick up and play in short bursts, and its incredibly chill, laid back vibes have quickly made it my go-to choice when I need to kick back and destress. You can certainly see the Rubik's Cube homage in its 3D puzzles, which see you twist and rotate the different pieces of a wealth of objects until they take shape and click into place. Every item will have a different combination of parts that can move up, down, or rotate, and it's up to you to find the correct position for every piece.
The puzzles aren't too challenging by design, so they won't demand too much from you, which is ideal if you're looking for something relaxing to play. With lots of little touches that just make The Shape of Things a delight to get lost in for a while, there's also a nice sense of progression with plenty of puzzles to unlock as you go.
