NetHack is more about trial and error than simply progressing and winning.

It's definitely a throwback to an era of gaming where it was hard to have a lot of content, and so time was often spent on mastering challenges.

I don't know. I'd say if it's one thing nethack has, it's content. There's a huge number of monsters and items (and an especially huge amount of interactions between them!)
