PSX Mansion & Marshes Redone

Both maps made by Kan3 (known for the Declaring New Apocalypse WAD that has a total of 10+ maps with custom monsters and weapons) are short but demanding experience for a new player. Levels can be also quite surprising if you play them for a first time, mostly because imagine launching a first map and then suddenly, out of nowhere... you hear a Cyberdemon behind you. Yep, in the Marshes level you might be blasted by a Cyberdemon rocket in the first seconds, once you wake up this big bad boy, immediately run away outside because no chance to survive in a really small room.

Red Moon - The Eternal Void

The Red Moon is a fast oriented but also a rather small map with focus on the quick gameplay, like lots of Tormentor667 maps this is a simply beautiful map with a nice usage of textures. This level takes place in the void that might resemble the Doom Eternal's level 7 called MARS CORE, even the beautiful Skybox resembles it a lot, this is a great map to play and try. Red Moon occupies the third slot of the Austerity mappack (it has a total of three, medium sized and long levels that might take up to 20-25 minutes) and in my opinion it is a real piece of the art. Even though the map only has a one secret just near the end, it will be good for you to grab it because a free Soulsphere just near the final fight is a God's gift, especially on the map like this. It has a total of 400+ monsters on the Ultra-Violence difficulty level, lots of these monsters are these that love to give you a challenge, same with the monster placements like Chaingunners on walls above you. Some of the encounters might give you a small headache at first, for example an arena with a trap trigger with suddenly teleporting 4 Mancubi to the room + Cacodemons coming from the outside to assault you.

Assembly Line - Fast action paced Quake III style map

Assembly Line is a fantastic Quake II/Quake III styled long map with very easy and interesting secrets to find (one has Pain Elemental on legs while the second one has a Cacodemon... also with legs). The map's difficulty ranges up to even very high because of the monster placement in the areas and small/medium size of the rooms where you have to pick up a fight, surely a very difficult WAD to play. Although arenas have a lot of small health pickup, with Project Brutality and its monsters it's way more difficult, lots of the monsters in Project Brutality deal splash damage that will simply knock you down.

THE SILENT DOOM

Trick and Tear 2 is a megawad that consists of 32 dark-themed maps across the WAD, but be warned because the levels itself are tricky and can be also challenging, especially with one nasty trick. Doomguy does not transfer the weapons, health, armor and items whenever you exit a level, so every weapon and even better a backpack that extends your ammo cap, is simply vanished with new level. This makes the WAD a little bit harder because everytime you start just with a default gear (in case of Project Brutality, just a standard assault rifle + semi automatic pistol), and levels love to troll you. Because of the compatibility issues, I decided to simply skip some levels during the playthrough, you cannot simply wield any weapons like in the MAP04 even after hitting a switch, the give all cheat is needed. The WAD also has the custom monsters like Trites, Poison Elementals together with poisoning Lost Souls, Fodder zombies that cannot do anything and just walk, the Black Hounds that are variation of pinkies and so on. Levels are mostly short while having lots of monsters, but because their layouts are also quite simplistic, you will not have much trouble with navigation while playing, just pay attention at monster count. Authors also loved placing the traps for you while playing, for example you have a small room with two pickups inside - armor and a keycard, every pickup activates a separate trap unleashing lots of monsters.
