Kanye's Impressions of the Game
Kanye West shared his opinion on Instagram, declaring The Last of Us Part 2 as "by far the best game ever made so far." He posted a short clip of his gaming screen along with his enthusiastic caption.
Features of the No Return Survival Mode
The survival mode that has captivated West is called No Return, a challenging single-player rogue-like mode that was released with the game's remastered version on January 19, 2024. In this mode, players face random encounters in familiar locations from The Last of Us 2, plotting their own paths to survival. The 'perma death' feature adds to the mode's difficulty, as dying results in losing all weapons, items, and upgrades.
Reactions from the Gaming Community
Kanye's statement sparked mixed reactions within the gaming community. Some fans supported his claim, agreeing that the game deserves high praise. However, doubts arose regarding whether Kanye has played enough games to make a fair comparison.
The Last of Us Part 2 is undoubtedly considered a landmark title. Developed by the acclaimed Naughty Dog, the game sold over 10 million copies by spring 2022 and holds a high Metacritic score.
