DUSK is imo the best Doom successor in terms of modern boomer shooters. if you prefer a more abstract/fantastical setting over the demonic cult horror theme of DUSK then AMID EVIL is pretty good too
honorable mention goes to ULTRAKILL which is fantastic, but the only thing that makes it a boomer shooter is the aesthetic: it's a really modern and fast paced high-score focused FPS with much faster movement
in terms of the timeless classics, Quake 1. it's like a cosmic horror/fantastical version of Doom with a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, the aforementioned Amid Evil was inspired by it. The rest of the Quake franchise past the first game unfortunately became a lot more generic sci-fi
and one last but important recommendation: if you never want to stop playing Doom 1&2 you don't have to, it has probably one of the biggest backlogs of custom made maps in the history of g*ming, shit like Eviternity and its sequel are peak, shit like MyHouse.wad is an experience, the list goes on for basically forever https://www.doomworld.com/10years/bestwads/
also shout out to Thatcher's Techbase, the doom wad where you go to the tenth circle of hell (the UK) to kill margaret thatcher again and piss on her grave
