A dislike of FM synthesizer is purely a subjective thing. Personally I love the sound of the Sega Genesis and its FM synthesizer. Great soundtracks like the Sonic video games, Earthworm Jim (which is hands down better on genny than snes sound wise, primarily because it was designed with the genny in mind), Sub-Terrania, Toe Jam & Earl, Batman & Robin, and Bloodlines as well.

Too many boss/midboss fights? I don't even... that's dumb.

Washed-out colour palette... again subjective. The game isn't going to be as colourful as a SNES game because the Genny has fewer onscreen colours. But that doesn't mean it's washed out. It's not like there's a SNES equivalent to side by side with. NES has a smaller colour palette and I wouldn't call Kirby "washed out" either. I'd hardly call the attached image "washed out".

As for glitches. Yes, a few glitches exist. Most games, especially those released on old consoles, will have some bugs in it. It's hard to release patches for them. I would hardly call any of the glitches in this game horrible though. Every castlevania game has various glitches, many of which are FAR worse than anything you can find in bloodlines.
