I've been playing this game for the first time using gzdoom. I love it. One of the coolest games of the 90s. Holds up well and is a unique experience.

If you're like me and like to play these games in DOS/Dosbox, I recommend you grab novert.
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/utils/misc/novert
This will let you use the mouse without also moving you forwards and backwards as you look around (great for doom too).
Just run novert before running hexen.exe and vertical mouse inputs will no longer be registered. Can be unloaded by entering:
novert /u
into the prompt.

Yes, the legends are true. Thirty years later, and Hexen's level design is just as irritating as when we all first played it. I've never really been sure if it is bad intentionally to differentiate itself from Doom/Heretic, or Raven's developers simply rushed it, lacking time or money for testing. I like their other stuff, and this does have some cool new ideas, but this game loves to waste your time.
Also, as the five minutes in the unmodded game suggests, it is nearly unplayable without using the GZDOOM port. If you want a superior version of this game, play Heretic.

So I'm hopeless at actually making progress in this game without guides, I always end up completely lost and having no idea what I'm doing. In spite of that, I still have a certain love for this game.
The Cleric's fourth weapon is one the coolest things I've ever seen, so there's also that to consider.
