Heretic starts off with very good and fun level design. The cracks start to show once they pack the levels full of enemies and you realize your weapons are way underpowered (compared to Doom) and combat becomes a slog. Also, they reuse a really small pool of textures throughout the game, so few levels really stand out thematically.
Hexen wins me over with its dark atmosphere and intricate level design. I love the feeling of uncovering secrets, solving puzzles, and exploring the labyrinths. The combat is more of an obstacle to exploration, and if you play as the fighter your weapons can take out every enemy in 2-3 hits.

>That giant cube area you can only progress to a certain point then you HAVE to leave the map. It doesn't tell you this. And nobody would expect you to have to leave the map to progress. It's not really intuitive to leave a map. Usually most people playing would assume that forward progress would be made in the map you're in. You just have to spend so long stuck there wondering what the fuck is going on you either leave or look up a guide.
The manual or marketing almost certainly mentioned the fact that you can travel between levels. You just failed to grasp an extremely basic part of the game's design. Do you play Metroid games and give up when you cant just keep going forward to progress?

Walpurgis, right? Great mod, but yeah, I don't like how much they changed Cleric in comparison to the other classes. Removing a weapon as awesome as Wraithverge should be a sin.
