Neither series has particularly memorable puzzles, which leaves it entirely up to plot. Broken Sword has a broken plot. It makes no sense why the mail character is involved with the mystery and yet he flies off to destinations unknown on the flimsiest of clues. While all the characters in GK have finally crafted backstories, which make you care about them. All have unique and fascinating settings, and the second and third have really well thought out plots with nice twists. I didn't even bother to play the Broken Sword sequels despite having bought them as a set due primarily to how much I loved Revolution's previous Beneath a Steel Sky, which is what they should really be remembered for.
