GZDoom is the fanciest way to play Doom. Unfortunately, it has also historically been difficult to recommend to newcomers, because its default settings are… questionable .
Conspicuously, for over a decade, it defaulted to traditional Doom movement keys (no WASD ) and no mouselook. I am overjoyed to discover that this is no longer the case, and it plays like a god damn FPS out of the box, but there are still a few twiddles that need twiddling. Mostly the texture filtering. Christ, the texture filtering.
Anyway GZDoom has a lot of options, so here is a handy list of the important ones. There are fewer than I expected, which is good.
