- Pure Nintendo8.0Typoman is a very different game, and I mean that in a good way. Whoever thought this up and drew all of this has a great imagination. Hopefully we can expect a sequel sometime in the future. Though I really wouldn’t doubt it, considering how positive the feedback has been for this installment. If you’re a fan of word puzzle games and you haven’t played Typoman yet, I recommend checking it out. It’s a fun game to play on the go but it also wont take you very long to complete, so keep that in mind.
- Nintendo Insider7.0Typoman: Revised is a good little game to kill a few hours with. It would have been nice to see more use of the platforming component and a bit more variety in how the puzzles are handled. Its atmosphere works well within its motive, if not a little too close to LIMBO. I did have fun with it all in all though, along with one or two real head-scratching moments. Just don’t expect it to last that long, or even really care when it does finally come to a close.
- Nintendo World Report7.0From the get-go, it’s clear Typoman: Revised has a graphical presentation and soundtrack worth praise. Even though it’s a relatively quick playthrough, a great deal is present for the eyes and ears to enjoy. And while it certainly takes cues from the phenomenal game, Limbo, the word mechanic gives it enough unique charm for it to stand alone with its own individual spirit.
- NintendoLife6.0Typoman remains a refreshing combination of platform-adventure and word puzzler, with a particularly creative use of words and letters as physical tools. It's undoubtedly spoiled by frustratingly clunky platforming mechanics and a lack of clarity in some of its design, but those after something a little bit different and cerebral should give it a spin.
- TechRaptor8.5I enjoyed my time with Typoman: Revised, even though it was over after only a paltry three hours. I’d love to see this formula improved on, I’d love to see more creative puzzles based on spelling words, and I’d love to revisit the world of Typoman. Hopefully, soon another spellcheck will be needed.
