When using 3D animation in a game you want to make sure that you are animating your assets correctly, for example in the 2017 game Mass Effect Andromeda which was made by Electronic Arts the animation in that game was hyped up for about 2 years and the game was a fail when it came to the games animations.
For example in this part of the game your character is supposedly punching someone in the face however as you can see from the image above you character is punching midair and the enemy is reacting to it.
Another example of bad animation used in Mass Effect Andromeda is the image below which is showing you how the character runs in the game. However this example was a bug and hasn't been fixed.
Another example for a game that has used bad animation is the Assassins Creed series.
In the example below it shows a facial animation on the Assassins Creed 2 Remastered.The game was supposed to be remastered to HD graphics, instead the game looks like it has been downgraded.
Another example of bad animation used in the Assassins Creed series was featured in the Assassins Creed Unity game. In the example below the main characters face has disappeared leaving only the character's eyes and mouth
Good animations
In the example below it shows an animation reel from the game Horizon Zero Dawn. The reel shows what the environments wildlife is like and how they interact as you move around. As you can see the developers did a really good job at making the animals move like animals within the real world.
