not in that sense, no. that's a weird definition for a hidden gem though.
there are some good but very obscure shooters like Nosferatu or Gunman though. stuff that maybe wasn't that obscure at some point, but that nobody ever brings up.
matching Doom though - that would have required a combination of factors. mod-friendly devs, loose enough setting, balance that stands on its own, but also enough set dressing to breed creativity. about the only games that qualify are Blood and Sam. Sam has the slaughter stigma and Blood has mapster, so we are where we are.

I've played atmospheric stuff like AoM or Paranoia, as well as novelty stuff like Point of View.
but are there any mods with actually good encounters? meaning, interesting enemy composition and dynamic flow. for context, I'd say Gunman is pretty good but Poke646 isn't.
