Roguelikes. I'm not saying some of the modern roguelites aren't fantastic, there are many that are. But the genre boom has all but pushed traditional roguelikes (NetHack, ADoM, Angband, Brogue, etc) out of the conversation.

My best experience so far was with Dungeon Crawl. I love their "no farming" philosophy.

I love how hard they gatekeep /r/roguelikes to keep it true to the genre. One of my favorite things is going there to watch all the modern clueless "roguelike" lovers get downvoted to oblivion.

What's wild is that the nethack source is so easy to read and understand, that it is trivial to add new content. I'd like to see some of the mechanics from the newer gen roguelikes like Shattered Pixel Dungeon make it back into trad nethack
