The video game of all time. Does a great job of acclimating you to its verbs and controls. Movement feels fantastic (played on KB). Guns feel great.

Level design really falls off after E1 (Romero's levels). E2 was still mostly a good time, but E3 really lost me. Have yet to play E4.

Played on a 60% KB, so couldn't properly circle strafe without rebinding some keys, but that's really only necessary for the Cyberdemon fight on E2M8.

All of the weapons are fun and feel good and have their place, and finding newer, bigger guns that you don't have was such enjoyable progression, BUT.

I truly believe that somewhere up in heaven there is a perfect version of this game where you only use the shotgun.
