Getting Masterbuild beneath the Great Plateau and unlocking the robot pal Sage were some of the first things I did in the game (I always prioritize everything but the critical path in open-world games), so my enjoyment of the Depths was very front-loaded. The Depths then got reaaaally tedious even by my standards. But once I figured out that all the lightroots corresponded to a shrine on the surface, I took an afternoon and speedran discovering the rest. There were still a couple surprises - seeing a Colgera rematch appear out of the darkness was fun. So my opinion of the Depths ended up being overall positive.
