The story in "Youtubers Life 2" is generally seen as an improvement over its predecessor, featuring more character-driven quests and a broader narrative scope. However, many players criticize it for being bogged down by bugs, unclear quest objectives, and a lack of meaningful progression, leading to a repetitive experience filled with fetch quests.

“To top this off, the world and story (if you can even call it that) are basically nonexistent.”

“All of the fun campy aspects of the first game were left behind in favor of a weird, boring, and anti-climactic story.”

“This game is extremely grindy towards the end, to the point where you are sleeping to get through days quicker. It really takes away from the immersion.”

The game effectively immerses players in a sci-fi atmosphere, contrasting with its predecessor's more linear and realistic setting. This shift encourages exploration and engagement with the characters of Newtube City, enhancing the overall experience.
“They really leaned into the sci-fi atmosphere in this one, and I am not against it. The game starts out that way, almost as a warning that it isn't like its predecessor, which was more linear and realistic (if you count the last place you move into being a space station realistic). Either way, this game definitely pushes you to get to know the people of Newtube City, and I'm all for it!”
“The game really leans into a sci-fi atmosphere, which feels like a warning that it isn't like its predecessor. While I appreciate the attempt, it often feels disjointed and lacks the immersive quality I was hoping for.”

“While the game aims for a unique atmosphere, it often falls flat. The world feels more like a collection of ideas rather than a cohesive setting, which detracts from the overall experience.”

Reviewers express frustration with the game's optimization, noting the removal of performance upgrades for visuals and sound. This has led to essential features like livestreaming and content creation being locked behind expensive camera bot purchases and costly upgrades, limiting accessibility for players.
“The removal of upgrades that enhance visual and sound performance has severely impacted the game's optimization, making features like livestreaming and content creation accessible only through expensive purchases.”

“Overall, the lack of optimization options has made it frustrating for players who want to enhance their experience without spending a fortune.”
