Blood > Doom > Shadow Warrior > Duke Nukem 3D

Just my opinion.

Blood being better than Doom is extremely marginal for me but I think ultimately it is the better game. Of course I acknowledge that its legacy and influence on the gaming landscape absolutely pales in coparison to the granddaddy that is Doom but as I standalone game I just enjoy it more.

Blood is my favourite single player FPS of all time. It was always in my top 5 but I only realised it was my number 1 when I went back to it recently.

Though Blood was never a hugely popular game, the fact that its source code was never released was a huge bane for it and unfortunately it meant that it was never able to be immortalised as it should have been with mods, source pords etc. I don't blame modern gamers for not being able to handle its dated graphics, lack of 1:1 mouse control and general poor performance on DOSBOX in this day and age. If however it had something like Duke Nukem HRP or jDoom/gzDoom then gamers today might have been able to appreciate and understand it more.

That said, I still adore it and can play it fine on DOSBOX. Blood's best quality is its gameplay and if you give it a chance you might understand why.
