It's almost time to get cutting some shapes, with the Early Access release of Shapez 2 coming on August 15.

Get ready to put together a spaceship again, as the deep space colony sim Stardeus has a really massive update out now and it's looking great. Basically, it's RimWorld on a spaceship and it's cool.

Take the mining and defense idea from Dome Keeper, stick you in an underwater mech with exploration and twin-stick shooting and you've got Codename: Ocean Keeper.

While I'm a little sad to wait a bit longer, I know the delay for Streets of Rogue 2 is going to be worth it. Originally planned to hit Early Access in August, the release date has now been moved to October 22.

A little heist on the go perhaps? Cyber Knights: Flashpoint from Trese Brothers is steadily turning into a favourite turn-based tactics game and now with all the controller improvements it should feel a whole lot better on Steam Deck too.

Here's your chance to play a platform fighter that's a bit different, and help shape its development with Counterpick Labs now in Early Access from developer UrbanMotmot.

For fans of sprawling building and automation sims, Satisfactory 1.0 is planned to release on September 10th.

Preserve from developer Bitmap Galaxy is a relaxing puzzle nature-building game that's going to enter Early Access on August 8th.

After being in Early Access since May last year, Tuatara Games are readying up their chaotic brawler Bare Butt Boxing for release on August 1.

#DRIVE Rally is actually looking pretty darn good. A reinvention of classic 90s rally racing with a whole lot of content and features to be excited about.

Selaco is easily one of the biggest highlights of the year, with its mixture of over-the-top action and chunky retro visuals. Altered Orbit Studios also just pushed out a big upgrade for it.

Since entering Early Acccess in October last year, Trese Brothers have been steadily building up Cyber Knights: Flashpoint into something great.

Volcanoids is a brilliant idea for a survival game where your base is a moving drill-ship, and the Interior Innovations Update allows you to make things look a lot more cozy.

Palworld has just expanded in a rather big way with the Sakurajima Update, giving players a lot of new content to play through and it sounds pretty awesome.

Death Trash features a world where cosmic horrors long for humanity but meet punks with shotguns. Influenced by post-apocalyptic, horror, and cyberpunk classics. Death Trash is certainly promising, and it's finally gearing up for a content update.

I was already a ridiculously big fan of Selaco, with it being one of the best retro-styled shooters (and just...shooters in general) I've played in forever and now the Bullet Time X mod has just made it even more amazing.

A bit of a blending of Curious Expedition and Vagrus - The Riven Realms we have here with Sandwalkers, a roguelike turn-based exploration game where you guide a caravan across hostile environments.

Taking Star Fox and putting the survivor-like spin on it with lots of upgrades and repeat runs, Whisker Squadron: Survivor has levelled up with a new campaign mode that's really worth a go.

Thrive just keeps on getting more interesting. An open source evolution sim powered by Godot that allows you to take control of a species from its first steps as a tiny organism.

The truly impressive looking shapez 2 from tobspr Games now has a release window, with the Early Access period set to begin in August.
