Oh absolutely, Camus can be soul-crushing if you believe that hope and reason are an innate part of the universe, let me quote Wikipedia:

The essay contains an appendix titled “Hope and the Absurd in the work of Franz Kafka”. While Camus acknowledges that Kafka’s work represents an exquisite description of the absurd condition, he claims that Kafka fails as an absurd writer because his work retains a glimmer of hope.

But Camus work is beautiful in its entirety and he makes a good case for “the universe in and of itself is hopeless and it is pointless, but it’s also huge and beautiful and filled with wonder. Go and enjoy it” the entirety of the ending is:

I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one’s burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

In my eyes it’s about finding your own reason, your own point and your own hope in the daily pointless struggle of existence.
