If you were to dig through the in-game database and audio logs then you would find the story hidden there. Then Doom 2016 included more backstory and lore than any game before it but the player character actively ignored most of it. Doom 3 took the most traditional approach with dialogue and cutscenes. Doom 1, 2 Final Doom and Doom 64 used a small text crawl after each chapter as well as a set up in their manuals to convey their story. But that's not to say there isn't a story because there is. The Doom games are known more for their fantastic gameplay with the Doom guy shooting up endless hoards of Hell than they are their story and world building.
