The only SIGIL review that matters.

General consensus is that Doom 2 has a strong first cour and then after that quality varies wildly.
Some hate the middle and last third entirely, some find a few favorites here and there, some like many of the maps which are generally disliked, but many will tell you it's not as fun past a certain point.
To me, it's full speed ahead until Map 12 where my enthusiasm just dies, because I hate that level and there's a lot of levels which really aren't fun which are coming up, there's many dull moments until I reach Barrels Of Fun.
Doom 1, while a simpler game in some ways, I feel holds a more consistent quality throughout, there's few maps I dislike in it, nothing that just kills my stride like Doom 2 Map 12

It's not hated outright (not by many people anyway), it's just seen as imperfect. Final Doom uses all the new assets it brought in and did some quite more impressive things, and in general, the new assets that came from Doom 2 have been an absolutely invaluable gift to the community for the past two decades, which in my opinion offsets the uneven quality in level design, we really could not have sustained ourselves as well as we have without Doom 2.
Doom 2 could have the worst level design in history, and it would still have been worth it for the assets, but thankfully, it actually isn't that bad.

The second episode is released as "shareware" and supposedly he's looking to make a finished 36 level megawad some day.
