* ScrappyMechanic: The Secret Worlds, which are a reference to the MinusWorld in the original VideoGame/{{Metroid}}, are naturally well-hidden, but the actual degree to which they're hidden is far too excessive: the 2 easy Secret Worlds have 46 known randomized spawn locations, the single hard Secret World has 47 and the 2 medium ones have ''68''. This would be fine if they were just interesting surprise locations for the players to find, but the 2 easy and medium difficulty Secret Worlds also contain upgrades and the hard Secret World contains a PurposefullyOverpowered gun which is likewise a random one between a [[HomingLasers Heat Seeker]], [[SpreadShot Scissor Beam]] and [[WaveMotionGun Fat Beam]], meaning you can only find one of them per save file, whichever one you get is random and there's no way to guarantee that you'll get one of the other 2 on a different save file. The only real positive about them is that none of the items found in them count towards achievement completion and you only need to find a single Secret World for an achievement.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The Sudran civilization. According to Athetos, they were incredibly xenophobic people who treated the technology around them as divine relics that no one should be allowed to use, no matter how noble the intentions. This however is brought into question by the events of ''VideoGame/AxiomVerge2'' which introduces another civilization of people called Sagigans; they were given the exact same kind of technology found on Sudra by an advanced AI named Lamassu (which presented itself to Sagigans as an emissary of the gods) to be used in a war against a dangerous foe, and were instructed to either seal away or destroy said technology after the war was over due to the danger it posed. Were Sudrans simply following the same instructions, or were they truly a race of fearful theocrats and xenophobes worshipping artifacts they didn't fully understand?

Win The Crowd has been disambiguated


* WinTheCrowd: Given the game's visual and gameplay similarities to ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'', especially in the first couple of areas, detractors denounced the game as a [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks shameless rip-off]] when it was announced. This was no longer the case with further information, with ''Axiom Verge'' introducing its own unique mechanics, abilities and design.

Darth Wiki doesnt go on main wiki


* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: The CriticalAnnoyance beeping that's heard when Trace is low on health. Thankfully it gets quieter over time, but players having difficulty with the game will hear it often.
