any tips for how to make Quake more fun?

I think they nailed the art design, but gunplay feels like a step down from doom imo

Main Problem for me seems to be to the guns looking flat and boring (doest lift shotgun into air to pump after shooting, no reload animation for SSG, etc.) And the enemies, which appear in few numbers and take more damage than ones in doom. Nail Guns and grenade launchers are cool ideas though.

This was my first FPS so it has a special place in my heart, im just not finding it that fun after years of insane doom wads. Is there just a quake mind set?
