** SAM gets this as well. Some see SAM as a likeable, inquisitive and helpful AI. Others see SAM as an annoying [[Captain Obvious]]-type helper, a knock-off of EDI from the original trilogy or both.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Some consider the reveal of Voeld to be this. If you completed certain sidequests and paid attention to ambient chatter and your various mission objectives before you reach Voeld, it is easy to figure, and you may already know [[Assimilation Plot|what the kett do with Angara they capture]] before [[The Reveal]].
* [[Complete Monster]]: The Archon of the Heleus Cluster. In addition to being a [[Hate Sink]] and a [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Scary Dogmatic Alien]] he has his own atrocities. {{spoiler|He captured the Salarian Ark and began running tests on them, such as harvesting their organs while they were still alive, or committing Cold-Blooded Torture on them for information.}} When Ryder and co. came to liberate the Ark he [[Sore Loser|eventually attempted to shoot down the Ark, killing the thousands of Salarians within, rather than allow them to escape]]. He is also a [[Bad Boss]], despite the fact that the kett are {{spoiler|literally brainwashed to be loyal to the cause}}, having them punished if he thinks they aren't committed enough. Obsessed with the Remnant technology known as Meridian, the Archon planed to {{spoiler|use its immense terraforming capabilities to force entire races to surrender to exaltation, or else he'll use Meridian to kill all life on their worlds.}} He's even implied to {{spoiler|be a traitor to the kett cause whose [[The Starscream|only out for personal gain and is gathering resources for a coup against the kett leaders]], and his right-hand-woman the Primus betrays him out of fear of what he's planning to do to their home}}. During the final fight, the Archon becomes so enraged at Ryder's efforts that he rescinds the offer entirely and just decides to commit genocide out of petty spite. Even in a genocidal species that views all non-kett life as barely sapient, the Archon of Heleus stands out as a monster among them.
* They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
* [[Tough Act to Follow]]: Some consider the game to be 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''.▼
** 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)}}.
