Feb 4, 2026, 10:07 AlexP Gaming News

From the first hours, it’s clear that this game isn’t trying to impress with visuals alone. Instead, it pulls players in with systems that make sense and gameplay that stays interesting over time.

Half Sword is finally out, and players are noticing some big issues

Feb 3, 2026, 09:13 AlexP Gaming News Early access

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.

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.

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...
