There's a lot of awkwardness as the game tries to teach you how to play. It does some interesting things, but Youtubers Life is not very good at explaining itself, nor is it very good at making its various systems work harmoniously. My main issue is that I'm not latching onto any of the usual reward loops I find when I get drawn into a sim. The thing is, I get what it is and I'm not going to be snippy about YouTube culture, even though it hasn't really ever grabbed me. You start off living in your mum's house and cobbling together videos with a really basic set up but as you earn more money you can move out, upgrade your tech, buy more games and open up different types of video content. At the moment you can only have gaming channels but it looks like other options will be developed in the future. Youtubers Life is a career sim which has you filling your days with various activities as you try to build a successful YouTube channel. But enough about my life – how's the game? I'm about an hour and a half in, still living with my mum, going to weird parties and uploading basic gameplay videos to an indifferent public. This morning I tried to become a successful YouTuber by playing the Early Access version of Youtubers Life (their capitalisation choice and non-apostrophe, not mine).
