What players say about DOOM 64
DOOM 64 is widely regarded as a unique, atmospheric, and horror-focused entry in the classic series that serves as a distinct alternative to the original Doom and Doom II. Players generally appreciate the Nightdive port for its quality-of-life features, though the shift toward puzzle-solving and slower pacing remains a point of contention for some.
What players like

Intricate level design 18 of 120 reviews

What players criticise

Confusing navigation and backtracking 28 of 120 reviews
A common criticism is that levels are overly reliant on finding switches and backtracking, which some players find tedious and poorly signposted compared to original Doom titles.

User Reviews
this is DOOM 3 dont let doom 3 lie to you this is the 3rd game in the trilogy. the music definitly goes more horror but for a third doom its definitly pretty good. make sure you play this after doom 1 and 2.
More condensed, puzzle-heavy levels which still throw a lot of enemies at you.
Little more backtracking than I would like in places, but a recommended play for any Doom fan.
It has no right to be this good.
This game took me back to my kid days and done it very well. I'm really having a good fun playing. Fast action without any excuses. Let's lock 'n load again.
I feel quite mixed about this game i cant really pick between if its good or bad I find it to be fun but I find the levels to be abit annoying I dont know if this just because im only in the first half but Im just not enjoying it as much as original doom 1 and 2 I still think its a great game but its not for me
