    Transcripted successfully blends two compelling genres together to create an experience like no other. It's somewhat held back by a rather lacklustre narrative, but the gameplay will keep you hooked for hours.

    Transcripted is exactly the kind of new and interesting concept that services like the eShop are built for, doing a very good job of getting the most out of that concept. This fusion of two very played-out genres creates an experience that’s far more engaging than you would think it should be, and adds another strong title to the Switch eShop.

The mix works well enough, but never perfectly. The two souls of Transcripted always feel slightly at odds with each other, giving it the feeling of novelty for novelty's sake.

    Transcripted also suffers from other issues. It crashed on me a couple of times during my playthrough. It has uneven difficulty, with some levels that are much harder than others. Finally, it suffers from overwritten (and thankfully skippable) dialogues that add up to a cliched story with very flat characters and a final twist that will make you yawn.

    Even with all those shortcomings, however, Transcripted is still good. It was clearly crafted with care, and almost each level introduces some new element to the game. The skill tree adds to the game's diversity. I was never exalted by Transcripted, but I didn't regret downloading it and playing it to the end.    … Full Review »
