xQc reacts to Kanye West saying Last of Us Part 2 is the "best game ever made"

While browsing Instagram on January 1, 2025, streamer Felix "xQc" came across a story from hip-hop legend, Kanye "Ye" West. The post depicted a short video of the rapper playing Naughty Dogs' second rendition of its award-winning game, Last of Us, with a caption stating that it is the "best ever made so far". The streamer reacted in shock and confirmed that the story was real.

For context, the rapper hailed The Last of Us Part ll by stating:

"Last of Us Part 2 on Survivor+ got me spending all day on one board. By faaaaaaarrrr the best game ever made so far. This is not a sponsored post."

While reacting to Kanye's take on the game, xQc said the following:

"Man this Ye guy huh buddy?! Actually real, interesting. That's pretty crazy."

The Last of Us Part II, released in June 2020, received widespread acclaim from critics for its storytelling, gameplay, and technical achievements. On Metacritic, it holds a Metascore of 93/100 based on 132 critic reviews, indicating "universal acclaim."

xQc, however, thought the game did not live up to its widely successful predecessor when he played it back in 2020. He expressed that the game felt "uneventful, inconclusive, and hollow," indicating a sense of dissatisfaction with its narrative and pacing:

"All of you over-analyzing pseudo-intellectuals need to stop trying to justify and defend the ending of The Last of Us Part II. It felt uneventful, inconclusive, and hollow. The game is good, but the key moments were bad. Just face it."
