I&apos;ve ascended in NetHack four times. It is a good game. It might even be a great game. But to call it &quot;the greatest game you will ever play&quot; is hubris; the game has really serious problems once you figure out how to reliably get past the first ten dungeon levels or so. It picks back up again by the time you&apos;re going back up with the amulet, but almost all of Gehennom is just a grind. I&apos;ve lost more characters to boredom than I have to deaths when in Gehennom. I think that a lot of people conflate an RNG with potentially nasty outcomes with depth or intricacy, which, coupled with the game&apos;s age, gives NetHack a bit more of a shine than it&apos;d otherwise get.&lt;p&gt;This is, however, a really fantastically designed website.</text></comment>
