The entire game is largely about deeply flawed people continuously making incredibly bad decisions that are violently consequential. It’s not necessarily bad writing, and I completely get the theme that’s trying to be gone for here, but by god it’s a frustrating mess of a situation that only gets worse.

It fills me with a deep uneasiness just thinking about it.

It’s a a classic story of vengeance that shows the idea that violence begets violence. Also a story that one can ultimately learn how to forgive.
I’m not saying you should like it. The story portrays a good amount of humanity. Most of the story showing the ugly side.
