How would you rank the official Doom 1+2 WADs in difficulty?

How would you rank the Doom 1+2 WADs in difficulty?

I just finished playing through Doom 1+2 on UV (damn the 90s are far away, couldnt remember anything, only E1, the icon, and the Doom 2 map where you are on a tiny walkway the whole time).

Now i want to do the same for No Rest for the Living, both Final Doom campaigns, and the Master Levels (as one megawad, using Xasers level order. I know that might make the Master Levels a bit easier, since i take weapons and stuff with me, but i really do not like to play them as isolated levels).

I wasnt sure in which order to tackle them, so i figured i should maybe go from easiest to hardest. Usually i would go through story progression (yes even in games like Doom), but there seems to be no canon to agree on.

Thanks in advance. :)

I think from easiest to hardest it would be

The Master levels
Doom 1 / Doom 2
TNT: Evilution
Doom 1 : Thy Flesh consumed
Plutonia

NRFTL
Evilution

I found NRFTL a bit more challenging than Evilution in its later levels, but that's just me. I mostly refer to the segments with arch-viles and teleporting waves of monsters.

Some Master Levels were unnecessarily long and obtuse in my experience, I didn't even finish them.

They are way harder then Doom 2 IMO.

Master Levels are a mixed bag, they range from "very easy" to "very hard". I'd agree that NRFTL is a bit harder than Evilution in the later maps.

I used to play Doom 64 via emulator with keyboard only and I got the hang of it, it was just so easy.

Just play them in this order:

DOOM
DOOM II
Master Levels
No Rest for the Living
Evilution
The Plutonia Experiment
DOOM 64
DOOM 3
Ressurection of Evil
The Lost Mission
DOOM RPG
DOOM II RPG
DOOM (2016)

In order of difficulty, I would rank them:
The Lost Mission
DOOM
Master Levels
DOOM RPG
Resurrection of Evil
No Rest for the Living
DOOM 3
DOOM II
DOOM 64
DOOM II RPG
DOOM (2016)
Evilution
The Plutonia Experiment
