Now that the dust has settled, is Fate Core a good game?

Sure

Yes, it's very good at what it sets out to do. Issues only arise when people start using it in ways it's not meant to be used (like shilling it as an all-purpose rules-light system when really it's a rules-medium highly-abstract-narrativist system).

S'alright.

How does it even works?

Roll four d6s with pluses and minuses on, add/subtract the result to your skill. You have Aspects that, if they're relevant, you can spend a Fate point to gain +2 or a reroll on the check.
Congratulations, you know the basic mechanics of Fate.

not so sure about that. SotC kinda straddles the border, imho.

>narrativist
i'd say it's more genre simulation but that's a fine distinction to make and probably misleading for a lot of readers. so discounting for that bit of pedantry, it's okay to label it narrative.
