The Last of Usfranchise has become a cultural phenomenon nowadays. Everyone is talking about it, and everyone wants to experience it. This became possible thanks to the incredible HBO series that was released in early 2023. Fans everywhere loved it, and newcomers felt so infatuated that they were enticed to try out the games.
But fans trying the games is one thing, and actors who would play certain roles in the adaptations of games trying them out is another. It just shows the dedication of an actor to get the feel of the role they would be playing. This is what one of the actors playing a crucial role inThe Last of Us Season 2did, and she seems to have loved the game.

Everyone out there was blown away; no one had seen such a video game before. It became a huge success for Sony and went on to win a bunch of accolades too, including a BAFTA. It changed people’s opinions about video games; now they know video games are capable of telling meaningful stories.
This inspired Naughty Dog to start working on a sequel as soon as possible. The sequel was launched back in 2020 for the PlayStation 4 console. It looked incredible and played better than its predecessor. But depending on who you ask, it either had a badly written sad story or it was an excellent representation of the cycle of revenge and its side effects.
Yet, the game once again became a massive success, and it went on to win even more awards than its prequel. But to this day, fans have a polarizing opinion onThe Last of Us: Part 2.Some love it very much, while others just do not care for it.
And that’s why, when actressIsabela Merced suggested that she loved Part 2, many could not believe it. They are just not able to accept it. For those unaware, Isabela Mercedwould play the role of Dina inLast of Us Season 2. Dina was the love interest of Ellie in the game.
“Yeah. I have been a fan of the series. I actually hadn’t played the game until I found out about me potentially being in it, but I only played the second game and that was such an experience. I had a lot of fun. People say, ‘How did you have fun playing it? It’s a very sad story.’ But it’s just so well-made.”
While a polarizing fan response to a game is always understandable, one cannot understand why anyone would not believe someone loves it. Its story might not be very good, butThe Last of Us: Part 2is a very polished third-person survival horror, stealth action game.
