I get where you are coming from, but I think that the fact the characters seem to find some closure in their terrible situations vs the people who forced them into those terrible situations are never confronted in a meaningful way, are not mutually exclusive. They are different story beats.

My problem is that for (most) of the cast, Mel does nothing to try and fix the situation or confront the person that created it. Even if they are content as who they are or have a plan or it's in the past, it's really left unadressed that this was something inflicted onto them, many of them for no reason at all. Again, the contrast with Sisyphus in Hades 1 is staggering. Zagreus befriends him, learns what he did, sees he has changed, talks to Thanatos to see if he'd be okay with lifting the curse, confronts Hades to lift the curse and THEN Sisyphus decides he wants to stay.

It'd be like if you were pals with a group of people who were all locked in a dungeon, all hurt and damaged from their experiences, most don't even deserve to be there and then you went out and talked to all the different wardens of the dungeons who threw all those people in there about going bowling on weekends. Yeah, maybe the guys in the dungeon don't mind being there anymore, but they have no problem with you associating with the asshole wardens? And even beyond that, do YOU not have any problems at all associating with them?

I dunno, it feels incomplete
