“despelote” Review

by Danreb Victorio | PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 05 May 2025

There’ll be plenty of times in life you’ll be chilling with people you don’t know, doing things you don’t care about, but they’ll still be memorable. That’s exactly what despelote is. I don’t like soccer, but I created my own vibe doing idiotic things, and that’s totally okay. I didn’t have the best time, and I didn’t have the worst time, but I’ll remember it.
