The verdict
A timeless, fast-paced classic bundled with a huge pile of expansions and mods for a few dollars. Skip it if you need mouselook, or want a polished port rather than a source port like GZDoom.
Great for
Fans of classic boomer shooters and history who want every official Doom WAD in one cheap, easy package
Main risk
The port lacks mouselook and has crashes, input lag and Bethesda account hassles; purists may prefer free source ports
