Review: Despelote é A Infância Latino-americana Encapsulada Em Um Jogo – Entertainium Brasil Despelote usa o futebol como o fio-condutor das relações interpessoais em um jogo que traz uma das melhores representações da infância latino-americana já construídas.

#Despelote é uma emocionante história sobre infância atrelada ao futebol que chegou ao Switch no final do ano passado. Nosso review está na área, se derrubar é pênalti!

No thoughts, only wag tail #despelote

The 50 best games of 2025, ranked It's been another strange, difficult, and yet somehow also brilliant year for video games in 2025. Triple-A releases have been sparse again, compared to the boom times of old, with a great big GTA 6-shaped hole left in the final few months of the year. And yet once again, every gap left by the established order has been filled twice over with something brilliantly new. Read more

Despelote showed me the year's greatest intro sequence, and its greatest advert for video games full stop I'm going to spoil the opening of Despelote here - an opening which I think, as you can probably tell, is pretty glorious. It's not a spoiler so much as a contaminator, a finger on the scales of something it'll feel wonderful to go into unweighted. So go away right now if you want to experience it for yourself.

Despelote should be the best foreign film this year. And the best foreign game. And just simply the best. #despelote

Reconozco que #Despelote es algo especial. No me ha vuelto tan loco como esperaba, pero contiene un trocito de historia de Ecuador tan específico, unas conversaciones domésticas tan naturales, unas reflexiones íntimas del autor tan sinceras... Que realmente lo convierten en algo distinto y único 🎮♥️⚽

#NintendoSwitch Review Video: #despelote - A touching tribute to soccer, as well as childhood and some adversity, that is let down by poor mechanics #IndieGames

#NintendoSwitch Video: #despelote - A bit of an odd, but extremely artistic and emotional story about soccer and growing up #IndieGames

#Despelote is a pretty little game. Well-judged autobiography, sun-kissed nostalgia, World Cup fever, a halcyon portrait of childhood.

Ahora que Despelote vuelve a estar un poco en boca de mucha gente por las recapitulaciones de fin de año, es buen momento para compartir de nuevo este videoanálisis:

I just posted my long-play of #Despelote by @despelote.game

It's a delightful soccer game that isn't really about soccer; not that the POV character you play as really cares.

I really enjoyed this game's story and unique visuals. Come check it out!

Screenshot from Despelote game. The scene takes place in the protagonist's childhood home in front of a television. The TV screen is black with cursive white text that reads, "'no pude ir a la fiesta'". The entire place is mint colors with blue dithering to show bookshelves, windows, paintings, and couches in the living room. On the right side is a speech bubble that says, "And she's... Poor thing."

Playing Despelote right now and the TV is playing one of my favorite songs omg!!! I actually gasped

It doesn't matter where you're from. Gaming has always been universal.

Always nice to experience games that has a different perspective as well, and it's an enjoyable game too. Very cool graphics and excellent voice acting.
