Following the success of Broken Sword, Revolution set its sights on more ambitious horizons with this weird and mechanically awkward shift into 3D spaces and espionage action. It's clear Revolution wanted to adhere to its point and click adventure roots, and so at its core In Cold Blood is still an adventure game, but its attempt to branch out and court console players with a big 3D glow up and combat mechanics is an ill-conceived one. In Cold Blood bites off more than it can chew, and all its different elements never meld into a cohesive whole.
