The verdict
A legendary 1994 shooter with the Super Shotgun, tougher enemies and a huge mod scene, but its levels are often mazy and the Steam port is disliked. Skip it if you want modern controls.
Great for
Classic FPS fans who want the Super Shotgun, demon-slaying and a vast library of free community mods
Main risk
Confusing, maze-like level design and a clunky, delisted Steam port superseded by Doom + Doom II
