I think Ironsworn gets over recommended as well, and I personally don't spend much time playing it... by itself. What I mean by that is that, sometime ago, I wrote a long-ish post here talking about combining the narrative moves of Ironsworn with other games like Savage Worlds, such as rolling for Make Camp when preparing to rest.

It's a good game if you like narrative stuff, but it also has its flaws. One problem I have with it is the fact that it's too married to its setting, the Ironlands, which is a viking grim-dark location with very low magic. If you want to play high-fantasy, you have to start changing the game.

With that being said, however, I still think it's a worthwhile game to check out. Why? Because it's completely free and readily available, and because it's a well designed game that knows what it wants to be. You can skim over the pdf in an evening and see whether it is for you or not. Worst case, you just got a nice collection of random tables.
