First of all, this game is not only a revised version of Doom 3, but also a collection of the first three Doom games and their expansions (Ultimate Doom, Doom 2: No Rest for the Living and the DLC content for Doom 3). For this reason alone, I think it becomes a solid package to buy, although the first Doom games miss some aspects like cheats or the ability to add mods.
Doom 1 is a straightforward but extremely satisfying classic, Doom 2 adds a lot - but is hindered by cryptic and gimmicky level design in my opinion - and Doom 3, well...
Doom 3 is a fairly good horror/fps game by itself; Its spooky vibe is unique and gruesome, even if being unable to see anything beyond your flashlight's range gets old fast. What is visible though, is a deliberate effort to focus on atmosphere, puzzle solving, exploration and smaller scope encounters, as your running and weapon switching speeds are very compromised this time around and being aware of your surroundings is much harder with how dark everything is.
As a Doom game, however, I think Doom 3 misses some marks. The enemy and environmental design feel extremely bland and depressing - might've been their intention, but it ends up just feeling generic. Colors aren't a bad thing and I'm glad the art style didn't stick with the 2016 reboot (not all of it, at least). The slower pacing and fewer enemies per encounter is an odd choice too; it does fit the atmosphere they were going for, but not sure about fitting the Doom franchise as a whole.

So, in the end, it's a really nice package filled with good games and content. If you're looking for an interesting horror fps experience, Doom 3 can surprise you, just don't expect the same general atmosphere from the other Doom games.
