Line 15:
** Some players find the Archon impossible to take seriously either because of his frequently holding the [[Villain Ball]] or finding he looks too adorable to be scary. Regarding the latter, this is due to his short stature and a face that has drawn comparisons to baby monkeys. In his dialogue sequences with the captured Ryder sibling, his face is also very expressive compared to other kett, which doesn't help the comparison. This is further compounded by some fans who have compared him to a Teletubby, particularly Po, due to his short stature and the circular crest on his head.
** Foster Addison is particularly noteworthy in this regard, due to her initial animation and some of her dialogue. The two most well-known examples are the lines "My face is tired" and "No one's a pathfinder until they've path''found'' something".
** There is a gem at the end of the New Tuchanka questline. There is a showdown between Nakmor Morda and Jorgal Strux immediately engaging in what amounts to krogan kung-fu. There with punching, blocking, kicks, the works... and all while they don't move from that spot or change their angle or pose. It looks completely awkward and absurd, and the fact that it's set to a dramatically sweeping camera and dramatic action music is just the icing on the cake.
* [[Overshadowed by Controversy]]: The game did not have a gentle release or reception.
** After knowledge of the game's Early Access trial went public, the issue of the game's lacking, occasionally disturbing, facial animations dominated many discussions of the game.
Line 23:
** The Ryder/Gil romance has little content or plot relevance after the two get together, {{spoiler|despite the fact there might be a child and starting a family involved.}}
** The polyamorous romance arcs with Keri T'Vessa, Avela Karr, Peebee and Reyes have been considered lacking by some fans who pursued them. Keri and Avela are treated like [[The Mistress]] rather than a lover in a polyamorous relationship, with Avela even calling it cheating. While Peebee and Reyes start off polyamorous, they change to monogamous as you go through the story.
** Late in the game you learn that, {{spoiler|some of the kett question, and even oppose, the Archon. The former is only seen in datalogs and recorded conversations. The latter is only seen in the [[Anti -Mutiny]] the Primus organizes against the Archon when she suspects the Archon has ulterior motives. You never get more information about the kett as a whole, no sympathetic kett are introduced as it's only [[Evil Versus Evil]] and the Primus' offer is considered a [[Deal with the Devil]] situation (even being called such in the quest log and by Liam if he's present)}}.
* [[Tough Act to Follow]]: Some consider the game to suffer from this. This because it follows the (generally) well regarded Mass Effect trilogy, as well as the fact that it had to prove there is still plenty of life and potential in franchise after the infamous ending to the original trilogy. This led some fans and critics to compare Andromeda to its predecessors, which played a role in some of the mixed and negative reactions it received; it hass also been speculated if the game would've been more warmly recevied had it not been released so soon after hit games such as ''Horizon Zero Dawn''.
