After I got enough of those cards and learned this trick, 4-5 star videos became a regular thing for me. cards would give you more points towards your videos than the standard ones. For example, for the first several weeks of videos, I had no idea that using green, blue, etc. It pretty much tells you exactly what to do for the first week or two but after that, you’re basically on your own. I also think the game’s tutorial could use a bit more work. Despite the streaming one being a DDR-style press the right buttons at the right times minigame, I found myself mostly preferring to do streams over videos because the minigame was a bit more fun (and you can always edit your streams for video content as well). Once you start unlocking some of the cards for reaching certain subscriber numbers or helping out celebrity YouTubers, it almost becomes too easy. At first, you have pretty bad cards that usually don’t allow you to make better than 2-3 star videos. I’m also not a big fan of the video making minigame, it pretty much comes down to getting the right “cards” in order to make a good video. On top of this, if you use up all of your energy, you move at a snail’s pace so it’s possible you won’t even be able to explore once you’ve got your video made and published if you use up too much of your energy. While most actual YouTubers only do one video per day, newbies and streamers can often publish 2-5 of them per day so I think the energy drain should be nerfed a bit in this game. Until you can afford $100 food items to restore your whole energy bar it just feels like you don’t get enough done in a day. You can spend some of your extra time exploring the world but there were at least a few days where I tucked myself into bed at like 4-5 PM.

Until you can afford to easily purchase food to replenish your energy (probably a few weeks), you can pretty much only create and edit one video per day. One of the big annoyances a lot of people have had is that the energy bar drains far too fast. While I have enjoyed my time with Youtubers Life 2 so far (and actually got addicted to it at one point), there are definitely a few issues that keep it from being great. It might have helped if I knew anything about these YouTubers or streamers (I’m more of a Call Me Kevin or Let’s Game It Out kind of guy) as their missions presumably tie into their channels. The rest involves weird side missions where you help actual YouTubers and streamers (including PewDiePie, GermanLetsPlay, Crainer, and Laurenzside) with some sort of strange situation or video idea. There isn’t much of a story to the game outside of one major plotline involving stopping hackers from taking over NewTube.
#YOUTUBERS LIFE 2 ENERGY SIMULATOR#
While the first game was more of a time management and strict YouTuber simulator game, Youtubers Life 2 is honestly more of a life simulation game that shares more in common with games like The Sims or Animal Crossing than the original (outside of the main concept of making videos of course). In addition, Youtubers Life 2 allows you to explore the world a bit more as it features an actual city with shops, restaurants, NPCs to befriend or romance, events to attend, and trends to find and monetize sprinkled throughout. Unlike the first game you don’t get a chance to choose your channel type, in this one you just get a general channel where you can do all sorts of different content (though it does seem to be missing some of music, fashion, and cooking stuff from the previous game). Unlike the previous game, there’s no school or job that you have to go to (though you may have to run a few errands at first to get some funds) so you can mostly just focus on your channel, creating let’s plays, tutorials, streams, unboxing videos, vlogs, and so on. In Youtubers Life 2 you naturally play as a wannabe YouTuber and/or streamer. This is still a good game though and with a bit of work, it could become a great one.

None of these killed my fun in Youtubers Life 2 but they are definitely worth mentioning. I personally disagree on both fronts (I did encounter a few minor bugs but nothing major), though I do have some of my own minor complaints.

The early reviews on Steam for Youtubers Life 2 are nowhere near as positive with many people complaining that it’s buggy or lacking features. For what could have easily been a cash grab, it actually seemed quite good and I was definitely interested when I got a chance to review the sequel. While I never got a chance to play the original Youtubers Life, I did see it played by some of my favorite actual YouTubers and it looked like something that was completely up my alley.
