Something in lines of Skill Gate Character? I'd call it simply Skill Gate.
MAX POWER KILL JEEEEEEEEWWWWW

I've been watching AVGN ever since i've found about it. There's something he calls a "Beginner's Trap", a situation where someone who never played the game might get killed/damaged if it didn't know about it (Like a stair that leads to a bottomless pit where you can't see the pit. You only know about it if you played the game before.), specially if it's early on the game.
It's more apparent on it's Super Pitfall review
.
The nearest thing i've found is Trial-and-Error Gameplay, but there isn't something more specific?
