This particular version of Doom + Doom II is the package on GOG that works best with the PS5 Dualsense controller, and so downloaded a host of optional mods including Anomaly, that complements the game very well. Highly recommended!
Back in the 90s popular music had Blur vs Oasis and FPS games had Quake3 Arena vs Unreal Tournament. Honestly my brother prefered UT, but I just feel Q3A is better, though I accept that both are very good, high intensity, battle arena shooter games. Now, while UT had the greater content, I always prefered the level design in Q3A and for me, the Plasma file is still the best version I have been blessed to play. I prefer the Q3A Plasma rifle even more than the one in Doom Eternal and that is saying something! For comparison, I play UT a few times per year, but I still play Q3A every month and I will continue to do so for many years to come because the game play loop is so delightful. Highly recommended. Enjoy!
Quake3 Arena is for me the best arena FPS game. My brother prefered Unreal Tournament, but the smooth, fast paced action of Q3A has yet to be matched. Each arena, bar a couple of exceptions, are really well designed. Still playing over 20 years after release. Recommended!
Spiritual sequel to DoomRL this game has an impressive graphics engine, very good use of sound (including the option to turn the BGM off) and full controller support. I have played with both a Logitech F310 and DualSense controllers, though support is better with the Logi game pad which registers as an Xbox controller but has the same layout as a Playstation controller which I prefer. The game has a comprehesive tutorial and many game modes to explore. If you are concerned whether this will meet your expectations as a Roguelike - if you want turn-based, high variation and difficulty, this is excellent on all counts. If I were to be critical, it is just to point out that xp primarily come from defeating enemies and over the years I have prefered those RL games that are item based progression, rather than xp based to permit stealth as an option. Having said that this game does a much better job of it than others I've tried including Stone Soup and Dredmor. As a comparison I play this game every month with Cogmind and Infra Arcana, whereas I only play Dredmor two, possibly three time per year. Long term I will be playing this in years to come because the game play loop is very good. Recommended.
