Number 11, deeper depths, is noted for its organic design with roots and rocks but is deemed inconsequential due to its small size and repetitive enemies.

Number 10, Subterranean Shunning Grounds, reminds him of the depths from Dark Souls 1. He appreciates it for its commitment to creating a convoluted and gross sewer area, adding to the game’s immersive quality despite negative aspects like unpleasant enemies and visuals.
