If I remember correctly, it was a lead forward, at the time. Doom's maps were sort of a fake 3D enviornment. You could technically go up in height, but you couldn't actually have one floor on top of another floor. Everything in Doom was on an XY plane. I think Dark Forces you could have rooms on top of each other. And Dark Forces also added things like crouching and jumping.
It was kind of a big deal at the time, although it probably got overshadowed by Duke Nukem 3D.
I haven't played the remaster. But there is an open source engine being built for the game (you'd still need to own the original, which was probably free at some point on GOG):

I'm not sure what the remaster gives you over the open source engine (plus mods). I think the remastered cutscenes for sure. I believe the developer of the open source engine did some work for the remaster as well.

I played DF back in the day as well but had a pretty neutral opinion of it, didn't have any nostalgia propping up my experience with rose colored glasses (what I think we need for many of these remakes to fully enjoy the experience), that was my point. But perhaps I didn't make that entirely clearly though.
An actual story with objectives (aside from get blue/red/yellow key card) wasn't common yet either.
