>They are not. They vary in gameplay and one is a fat bug and another is a fast mantis etc. but they are all black and white bugs. Look at enemy designs in Blasphemous, that's variety.
You concede that they are in fact different and your own real issue seems to be that, while they are distinct, they are bugs. If you personally have an issue with, or don't care for bugs, that's a personal opinion, but it does not contain any objectivity to it.
>Farming to heal, pausing to heal in a game that is all about swift platforming.
I'm not sure on what basis you say the game is all about swift platforming but you cannot farm healing in the middle of platforming challenges and bosses put you at risk when you stop to heal and do not allow you to farm healing beyond the ways I set forth in my prior post.
I'm really not sure what is gained out of arguing in bad-faith. Especially to someone who just thinks Hollow Knight is a metroidvania among many others. My favorite is Rabi-Ribi followed by Aria of Sorrow.
