As someone who played all the D00M games one after the other (before 2016 reboot) I found D00M 64 to be my second favorite at the time. With the original D00M being my personal favorite even now. The level design in the original is amazing_
D00M II is bigger maps, a few new enemies, and tacked on a DB shotgun (that makes most guns irrelevant to use). Otherwise is just heavily reused assets, which is a little off-putting. And as mentioned level design has much to be desired.
D00M II heavily relies on the "bigger is better" route, and while still fun (because more classic D00M). Doesn't really try and be a competent sequel. Whether as D00M 64 tried something a little different and feels like a whole other game, while still being true to the series. D00M 64 is the real third main D00M entry, and now most will be able to play it legally without depending on a bad controller.
I don't dislike D00M II, it's just very slap and paste. And D00M 64 seems to do its own thing which I really liked.
