Things you LOVE in other maps

I've seen "Doomcute" used a few times to mean "Sector Furniture" or "Sector Vehicles". Kama Sutra tended to indulge in it, if you want a relatively well-known example.

lots of moving sectors
especially when they open up and create a new arena out of areas you've already visited
what vert said (kinda the same thing)
lots of monsters but not quite to the point of slaughter
simple geometry with textures used for detail like in suspended in dusk
high contrast lighting

- semi-realistic maps, but not necessarily extremely detailed, but look more oldschool trying to make real life objects with sectors in a funny way
- smooth lighting with many sectors, but sometimes sharp contrast shadows/lighting
- objects put against contrast, for example a tree or dead body in a very very dark sector against brighter nearbies, I've seen this in few maps but can't describe
- new skies, especially I remember some blue ones
- new skies and textures mixed with old, will give some breath and make me want to play the map
- smaller levels
- non linear but not 100% open, I mean some linearity mix with non linear areas that open later, like get this key but to open a new area that might have more paths.
- levels that are made like the each exit is the logical connection to the next level. E.g. you finish the level in the train station, next level you are on the train, next level your train crashes (gosh, it's like I describe Blood here
- memorable levels with specific themes. I like some megawads where they manage to nail almost every level, as a unique memorable theme, not a generic level with rooms. Maybe no WAD does it 100%, but I remember Revolution! now.
- Some clever traps but not too much, not in every single step you take.
- An easter egg at rare times but not too frequently. It has to be unique. Maybe near the final level or on the secret level. Also megaWADs where after finishing the final level boss, there is a special peace level with the finale credits and something funny (I am thinking of Neodoom or Ancient Aliens)
- Secret level that is memorable and unique highlight of the megawad, not a generic leftover map (e.g. there was this megawad NeoDoom where the secret level was a lego level)
- I don't like the Doom 2 final boss, few megawads will omit it and have a regular fight with Cyberdemons and Spidermasterminds, but most use it because it's canon
- Atmospheric melancholic music
- maps that are not slaughtermaps
