F.I.S.T. received "generally favorable reviews" on Metacritic for the PlayStation 5, Windows, and Switch versions.[9][10][11] The PlayStation 4 version of the game received "mixed or average reviews".[8]

Marcus Stewart of Game Informer rated the game 8.5/10, calling it "another fine example of an exploration-focused side-scroller". He praised the combat and multiple unlockable weapons, though he criticized the game's dearth of fast travel points.[15]

John Cal McCormick of Push Square rated the game 8/10 stars, praising the graphics as "astonishing" and the characters as charming, but called some of the game's translation "clunky".[16]

Jeremy Peeples of Hardcore Gamer rated the game 4/5, calling it a "must-buy for Metroidvania fans" with a "richer storyline than most", also saying it "controls like a dream". He compared the gameplay to Shatterhand, while calling the world reminiscent of Beyond Good & Evil.[17]
