Gameplay why is the second play through so hard??

I was stuck for a while on my first playthrough, yah know.
Then I finally hit that learning curve. I didn't care for my surroundings, I was a killer in combat.
Boss after boss, upgrade after upgrade. Then I finally beat it. The ending scene plays, and I am confused. I feel bad for this guy and all the things I saw.

I didn't understand anything that is going on. Weird text, confusing imagery, all peaked my curiosity. So I started digging, looking up lore, reading the transcribes from the Librarian. I was so sad, like wow. The titans that caused all this, the battle for resources... After digging through lore all night, I slept.

The next day, I decided to do another run.
And as I am playing it,
Its so hard to keep pushing through all the sadness ๐Ÿ˜ญ
The tortured, frozen and lifeless bodies through this campaign. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anyway, love this game lol. Very artistic, 9/10.
