Popular rapper and record producer Kanye West has recently made an exciting revelation about his taste in video games. The "Can't Tell Me Nothing" singer posted a story on his Instagram a few hours ago, that blew up on the internet. In this story, he confessed that Naughty Dog's 2020 title "Last Of Us 2" is the best game ever made, in his opinion.

Posting a photo of the gameplay, Kanye wrote:

“Last of Us 2 on Survivor + Mode got me spending all day on one board By faaaaaaaarrrr the best game ever made so far this is not a sponsored post”

As this news blew up on the internet, gamers from around the world shared their views on the topic. While some sided with Kanye, stating that Last of Us 2 is indeed one of the best video games ever, others disagreed. But the mutual feeling amongst all these comments was the surprise factor regarding this candid social media post by Kanye West.

One of the comments read:

"game recognizes game"

Arguing otherwise, X user @_AnimusLibertas wrote:

"It's the Worst Naughty Dog game ever made, so far."

Talking along the same lines, another comment (by @siki_jackkson) suggested that West might be an amateur in gaming to think so highly of The Last of Us 2:

"Bro must have played 2 games in his life"

On the other hand, another user, @GizmoGa30952150, could seemingly relate to Kanye's opinion and appreciated the game:

"It was a great game, the emotional impact that this game has lasted to this very day"

Survivor+ is the highest difficulty setting available in TLOU2. Noticing that Kanye West mentioned playing on this difficulty, @Mathematicalfr pointed out:

"He know the gameplay 10/10. Sh*t is a work of art on higher difficulties"

This isn't the first time a celebrity showed their love for the Naughty Dog title. A while back, Euphoria star Zendaya also opened up about her love for the Sony-exclusive title.


Apart from Kanye West, Zendaya also loves TLOU2

Both the titles in The Last of Us franchise have received immense love from PlayStation gamers. The first part of the game has already made its way to PC as well, with the second part also set to be released in a few weeks. As such, it is no surprise that TLOU2 is Zendaya's favorite title. In a social media post from a year ago, she posted a picture of her gameplay and tagged her dear friend and popular actress Hunter Schafer, writing:

"Replaying our fav game @hunterschafer"

She also posted a picture of her Euphoria co-star Storm Reid, who plays the role of Ellie's best friend Riley in The Last of Us TV series. Zendaya simply appreciated Reid's work with a simple heart emoji as the caption in her Instagram story.
