Hoooo boy. Where do I even begin ? I love playing Doom mods. Easy to set up and you can have thousands of gameplay variations and experiences. Personaly, I prefer weapon or gameplay mods but you can also have some neat total conversions and again, thousands of map sets to chose from (I'm mostly indiferent about map sets). The stuff I would recommend would be:

1. The Guncaster; where you play as this powerful (and snarky) humanoid dragon that possess both heavy weapon arsenal or a wide aray of devastating magic spells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcUHPmb76do

2. The Trailblazer; you play a full-on 90's action hero with just as a powerful weapon arsenal, with the ability to upgrade each weapon with spare junk you can find sometimes in place of ammo pickups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hZnS45rEdE

3. Embers of Armaggedon; basicaly an (almost) exact emulation of Doom 2016, converted to Doom 2 and will all the functioning mechanics from that game (such as weapon mods, rune abilities, earning weapon points throughout the level and even Glory Kills; yes, it has those): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvVIaSDHPUk

4. Wrath of Cronos; a new spin on the classes and gameplay from Hexen, complete with a well designed RPG system of leveling up stats, weapons, passive or active abilities depending on each class (a total of 6 classes to chose from, I remember). Originaly a mod for Hexen but now it's also compatible with Doom and all the other games on the same engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cvBWl8J1ps

And here are some noteworthy total conversion mods:

Castlevania: Simon's Destiny; baiscaly a remake of the first Castlevania game but with first person gameplay and mechanics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPY_FCjOwhE

Doom: The Golden Souls series; combine Doom and Super Mario gampley (also in first person). Explore levels with various themes and themed enemies, collect coins... and lots of platforming. There are already 3 mods in the series to enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyAWSjOuwIg - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFiuRKPftoA&t=1s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rivZEQ2mNFg

Hedon; another conversion in which you play as half-demon, half-orc chick, fighting in a cool fantasy world against an evil cult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxcboQJLUv8

And these are the best ones that I can lay out at the moment (I know a few more but I didn't wanted to drag it too much). Hope you see somthing here that looks worthwhile, and that it wasn't too much, so to speak.
