	Doom / The Ultimate Doom [★★★★★]

	Even after all this time, the game takes me back to the good old days 
	every time I play it. The music, the atmosphere, it all holds up even now. 
	Level design is also nice here, even in the additional hardcore "Thy Flesh 
	Consumed". I highly recommend you to play it with 'Chocolate Doom', a port
	that simply makes it run without DOS without any real enhancements.

	Doom II [★★★]

	Well, unexpectedly, I actually didn't like this one at all. I have no 
	negative memories of it from my previous playthroughs, but at the same 
	time, I couldn't remember a single level besides the Icon of Sin and 
	Barrels 'o Fun.
	Having played it again (for the 3rd? time) I can say that it's easily 
	because half the levels are shit, they are not fun at all. I hated 
	"Downtown", I hated "The Chasm" and a couple of other blocky city-like 
	levels.
	Everything about the game screams that it was rushed, from the reused 
	assets that don't fit earth at all (futuristic or not), to the maps and 
	finally the lack of a boss (the Icon of Sin is just a wall texture - 
	there's no cyberdemon or spider mastermind equivalents in Doom II). Even 
	the bonus levels are lame, they're just modified wolfenstein levels.
	Replaying Doom was very fun and brought back many memories, replaying Doom 
	II made me realize why I barely remember it. Sandy Petersen has already 
	been criticised for his design choices before, but like I said, the maps 
	are only half the problem.

	Final Doom [★★★★★]

	It's so good. TNT Evilution in particular, with it's music, level design 
	quirks and general style, it felt like a breath of fresh air after the 
	dull maps of Doom II. As a kid I decided not to play 'The Plutonia 
	Experiment' because I thought it would be too difficult, but having 
	finished it on Ultra-Violence now I must say It's not nearly as tough as I 
	thought it would be. Plutonia seems to have, generally, a crazy number of 
	enemies per level. That, paired with a penchant for archviles and pain 
	elementals, aswell as armies of sniping hitscanners, makes it difficult 
	and forces you to to strategize. Do you save scum? Run for your life? 
	Snipe them back from afar? I even gave up my beloved arrow keys for a 
	WASD+Mouse setup that I've never used in classic Doom.
	Nevertheless, Plutonia to Evilution is what Doom 2 is to Doom 1. It's 
	better than Doom 2 in every aspect (especially level design) but I did 
	feel like I was stuck looking for switches and figuring out how to 
	progress more in Plutonia than in Evilution.
	Anyways, I highly recommend both. They're amazing. And don't forget the 
	custom plutonia soundtrack!
