Managed to play through this little game just before it left Game Pass - I really need to stop sleeping on stuff on there and going 'oh no' right as its leaving.
Anyway - For what its worth I had a rather fun time with FIST gameplay wise thanks to some rather smooth platforming, chunky and meaty feeling combat and that oh so pleasant metroidvania feeling of combing every nook and cranny because you NEED that last Plant Seed or because theres a small bit of the map you HAVE to go into.
That said, i'll certainly only remember this game for the gameplay. While the graphics are indeed lovely and are quite detailed, they are not really used to their fullest potential. Levels, while they are designed well on a gameplay level, on a stylistic level I honestly couldnt tell you a single thing about a single one of the places I sped through.
The plot as well is a big heap of overplotted nonsense thats actually a little too simple when broken down.
So overall while I certainly liked everything on a gameplay level, the design choices had me feeling a bit 'Meh'.
