I have a curious case with the Doom series, I started with Eternal and 2016, and had an amazing time with them, I didn't however like my experience with the OG dooms (64 and II), so I came back to Doom 3, which I also enjoyed a lot.
It's funny that I left the first Doom as the last game to play (even after playing Sigil and Final Doom), and now that I'm basically done with the main series, I can experience the game that started it all.
Altough I prefered Doom 1 over 2 and 64, I still think it carries many of their flaws, which is only natural, considering these games basically invented the FPS genre. I am definetely not a fan of the maps layout, and in any of these games I liked the "find key and backtrack" level design, which is my main complain; no doubt why I enjoyed Romero's levels the best ones.
But even so, the game is fun, you can't really go wrong with slaying demons in the most gruesome ways possible, but I don't really see myself coming back to it any time soon.
