After not playing Doom for at least a couple of decades, I have been alternating all the Doom and Doom II maps. I am averaging about two maps per day.
Doom II is about twice as complicated and twice as hard as Doom. Some maps take 45 minutes to get through. By comparison, "Knee Deep in the Dead" seems pretty trivial to finish. E1M7 might be the most complex map in the first episode, which makes it fun.
Because of the complexity and difficulty of Doom II, Doom feels like the better game, but Doom II has more replay value. It takes longer to master.
The 4th episode of Doom, Thy Flesh Consumed, which was released as part of "Ultimate Doom" in 1995, is more complex and more difficult than the original Doom episodes. The first three maps are very hard. It has Doom II difficulty without being too complicated, so it is my favorite.
