Feb 3, 2026, 09:13 AlexP Gaming News

Half Sword finally hits Early Access, but performance issues clash with its brutal, physics-based combat and chaotic medieval fun.

Half Sword has been on a lot of players’ radars for a long time, mostly thanks to its demo. That early build was shared, streamed, and clipped endlessly, and for good reason. It felt rough but exciting, the kind of thing you mess around with for hours just to see what happens. Because of that, expectations for Early Access — and eventually a full release — were pretty high. People wanted more content, more depth, and a smoother version of...

Don't Stop, Girlypop! turns speed into your best weapon

Feb 3, 2026, 08:57 AlexP Gaming News

Don't Stop, Girlypop! is a fast arena shooter where movement matters most, mixing bold visuals with amazing early reviews.

Don't Stop, Girlypop! doesn’t look like most shooters, and that’s the first thing you notice. Instead of dark colors and serious tones, it hits you with bright visuals, bold colors, and a style that feels ripped straight out of early-2000s pop culture. Everything is loud, shiny, and unapologetic. It feels more like stepping into a hyperactive music video than loading up a traditional action game, and that alone makes it hard to ignore. Once you’re in, the game keeps things focused...
