theres like 14 levels and only 2 have a weird design where you will need a guide. the sewer level and elevator level which is number 3 and 6. everything else is perfect and so fun

This plus The Force Engine is the definitive way to play this game. The perfect Doom clone, bar none. Force Engine is worth it for the save/load feature alone.

I would seriously recommend playing this version of the game, using "The Force Engine" port, over the Remaster. Remaster is fine for what it is I suppose, but 40$ for an arguably worse looking experience to what has already been available for years first in the XL engine and now even better in The Force Engine is kinda lame. The game looks way better with the original pixelart textures and cutscenes, the Remaster just kinda has that uncanny meh look to it for me.

Pretty good old fps, but either use a source port or simply play the decent remaster by Nightdive.

Didn't age too well but is still a classic. If you're short on cash and want to play it modernised over the remaster, get this original release and use The Force Engine source port to save yourself 20 quid/30 bucks, at least till it goes on a deep sale.
