Your favorite WAD? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Hey Lemmy! Let's see if we can get some community building going! What's your favorite .WAD and why do you like it?

I am new to DOOM and I'm only just starting to explore what's out there. Right now I've played through fava.wad and found it enjoyable, but I got lost quite often! My current favorite is Ancient Aliens, it is way too hard for me right now, but the first level is just fun, frantic, and the first sequence impressed me a ton. I'm so excited to explore more of what's out there.

Going Down has been one of my favorites. Unique level design with an elevator theme and a surreal twist. Works with brutal doom but can be very difficult at times.

I've been loving Overboard! I didn't realize the creator also made Going Down :)

Sunlust ftw. Gorgeous maps (especially E3 maps) that force you to play outside your comfort zone.

That and Plutonia, just because of Go 2 It, which is a genuinely fun map to play.

My favorite megawads have a sense of campaign progression about them. I want it to feel like it's a new game in 1993, you know? If the first map has high tier enemies in it, I'm out. Unfortunately, those megawads are very, very few.

Saturn X wasn't too egregious, though the monster counts are pretty high. The episode 1 remake for molecicco's Doom64 CE is interesting.

WAD? Weapon of Ass Destruction?

Basically custom maps for the original DOOM See here https://doomwiki.org/wiki/WAD Love the guess though.
