Waiting 30 real-life days for a sponsor paycheck? Really? People buy simulation games to play when they want, progress at their own pace, and feel rewarded — not to open the game every day just to “not fall behind.” Right now, it feels more like a mobile idle game than a real YouTuber simulator. Please let us choose between real-time and accelerated…

I want to start this with that i was going to leave this a good review(with criticism), However after everything i've seen i cannot do that with good conscious. As you can see ive even played it a fair bit. Everything from developers asking people to take away their negative review to actual possible AI art being used in the game and when i asked about it i first got an answer that was their art team creating everything from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What happend? How did we go from an actual fun tycoon like game to playing heartstone? I don't wanna battle people with cards like I'am some yugio master. Please for the next YTL just bring back the old formula. And the multiplayer aspect is great. But use it for video's and streaming. Make it so you can make video's together instead of this, this is garbage and way out of the normal line for YTL. Instant refund requested. Would not recommend. Does not feel like any of the old games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whoever invented this Streaming gamemode with other players, i really hope your pillow is warm on both sides in the night. The Youtubers Life 2 Streaming gamemode was so fun to play and you just proceed to throw it away and do some poker card ah game. Youtubers Life 1 was perfect, your goal was to be the GOATED Youtuber of all time, it was soo good. In the second game version i was sceptic because of the full free roam of the world but quickly got used to it and the whole story and quest were…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Update #1 @ 107h of playtime] DO NOT BUY THIS GAME !!!!! FORGET THIS GAME AND FORGET THESE DEVELOPERS!!! It has a game-breaking bug that completely ruins your progress !!!! Hey developer, the quality of this game is a direct reflection of your standards — and right now, it shows a complete lack of care, testing, and professionalism. This is absolutely unacceptable!!! At this point, you SHOULD seriously consider RETIRING, because this level of sloppy, careless work is embarrassing. If this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, I liked the first and second games way more than this one. They removed the NPCs, which were a huge part of what made the second game fun and alive. Now it’s basically just an online card PvP game with some live events. There’s very little actual content that makes it feel like a full game. Pretty disappointing for the third entry, but I’d still recommend checking out the first and second ones, they’re much better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Removed most of what the first two games had with open world and npc interactions. Just turned it into a card game that is nothing like the first two, would not recommend. If you like card games like that, then just play a f2p card game instead and you wouldn't know the difference. Using real life time instead of an in game time system just makes it so slow. Game will probably just be shelved quickly as they move on to their next one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my impression of the game after more than 10 hours of gameplay: The game is no longer Youtubers Life as we used to know it—a game that was all about fun and relaxation. It has turned into a multiplayer experience that no one really asked for. Players wanted more content and depth, but instead, we're being forced into a multiplayer system that adds no real value. In fact, the most useless part of the game is the multiplayer mode. Secondly, the competitive streaming system feels…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would like to mention this before I give my review: To the dev that replied to one of the negative reviews asking for the reviewer to take down their review - this was a very irresponsible move. Never do this. Take the criticism and move on. It only makes your studio look bad. I had also seen some terrible takes from within their Discord in response to some other player feedback. Stop using "Early Access" as your scapegoat - this does not excuse a bad product. Although I had never played…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping for a collision of 1 and 2 and it is not. For a big fan of this series I am not a fan of this game. Huge disappointment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice game if you're looking for a card game. I bought this game expecting it to be similar or even a continuation of YouTubers Life 1 and 2, and was rather disappointed. Even as a card game, the active player base is not big enough to make the game very enjoyable. The franchise did not need a multiplayer game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who was genuinely excited for a YouTuber simulator, I have to say this game took a sharp turn in the wrong direction. Instead of immersing me in the experience of growing a channel, creating content, or dealing with the ups and downs of internet fame, I found myself stuck playing a card game that felt more like Marvel Snap than any sort of simulation. I don’t want to spend 5 to 10 minutes per session playing cards when I expected to roleplay as a content creator. The mechanics are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →how the mightly have fallen. lets think back. to youtubes life 1 a master peace. then i see this game i am. like okay so i get to stream with my mates and build stuff with them. WRONG its turned into PVP for a streaming game. so why dont i like this game 1 you buy stuff for your setup/pc and its broken within 10 mins 2 they let you go to work then you cant 3 it takes real life days for stuff to come out 4 the open world. well if you can call it that. its poor 5 your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I genuinely am confused as to why there's so many negative reviews on an early access game mere hours into a release, from players who seemingly have only just completed the tutorial. Youtuber's Life 3 continues to deliver on the same gameplay that it always has done, a life simulation game where you create videos, livestreams and photo content in order to grow your channel, except this time, it is online. Your channel is ranked with other players, who you will see making their own posts and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember the first game I ever played was the first YouTuber Life, that was a masterpiece and I even enjoyed the second game. This one just downright disappointed me, if I wanted to play a battle card game then I would've downloaded Gwent or Pokemon TCG. This also should not have been real time and the fact I have to play every single day to just not get a decrease in my sponsorship is just stupid and might I even say diabolical. Not everyone has time to open the game and play every single…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was hoping for some classic youtuber's life. Just became a card game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cool game, but unfortunately, I’ll have to drop it. After hitting 80 million subscribers, it became absolutely awful to play. You gain about 10–20 thousand subscribers per video (that’s with 5 stars and no "Viral Video" buff). With the viral buff, it went a bit better — about 50–60 thousand. And the funniest part: to reach 90 million, I had to get a –10% subscriber debuff 2–3 times. So from 88 million, I rolled back to 80 million — and that’s another 1–2 hours of non-stop grinding. You get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Coming off of YouTubers Life 2, I had really high hopes for this game. Unfortunately, YouTubers Life 3 is a huge disappointment. The biggest issue for me is the editing system. In YouTubers Life 2, editing felt like you were actually a YouTuber, immersive and rewarding. In 3, it just feels like a generic video game mechanic, and it completely kills the vibe. Instead of pulling me into the YouTuber experience, it constantly reminded me that I was just pressing buttons in a bland system. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Long Time Youtubers Life player... Why did you all change the recipe.... Please give us back the story. Please Stop putting effort into this card game of yours. You guys even added an automation button cause most players do not like the card game (reviews). Please put more effort into letting us explore again and follow a fun story where its not the same thing over and over and over again....... Training? Exploring? Non-Real Time events? Always Online? Why are you changing the recipe. Edit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who played the first and adored the second game, I have to say that this one is different. However it is still fun. The fact that they listened to the gamers who said it was too different at first with irl time and mainly only online focused, is a huge plus in my book. Any company who listens to the majority of their intended audience and creates a game they actually want to play and not one they as creator only want to make... Just wow, we need more game creator companies like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →refunded as soon as I saw there's no city and the movement got reverted to click to move. absolute downgrade from the second game, was hoping for an extension of the fun open world aspect they created in the second game, but instead it feels like a downgraded version of the first game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is always glitching, lagging, dosnt run properly and crashes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay guys so my honest review for the almost 2 hours I played. The game has some bugs but they'll probably be fixed. The game is in early access so a lot can change. The character customization is very good, I like it a lot. The start of the game is decent and could be better but it'll do. You get introduced to Instagram on the game I know for content creators it's important just don't really see the aspect for the game. It's to keep your morale high but I think they can maybe do something more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've always played the Youtubers life games. This latest one gives me mixed feelings. The punishment mechanic for missing rent etc feels far too harsh, especially as it takes everything you've worked for away and practically sets you back to the beginning. Change that and I'd more likely recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Should not be called Youtubers life, more like Youtubers battle Stream together. This is an online battle royale game, NOT a Youtubers life simulator. I'm not gonna spend 15 miniuttes trying to find a lobby and playing cards, when i want to just grow my channel. I'm all for the singleplayer experience, so this is just not it. Sad thing is that this could have been so good because they did make many improvements, like the PC building but they messed up the multiplayer aspect.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR on the bottom if you can't be asked to read. The game is an okay game in the early game, up until you need to get to 50M subs, it just becomes a complete grind, which i get it is part of the game and how it is designed, The streaming feature is a card based gamemode and it is definetly the worst part of the game because it feels like it is just straight out luck if you win or not because if you get a bad cycle or a bad upgrade and they get a better one you just lose and can't do anything…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →YouTubers Life 3 was a disappointment for me. I’m not a fan of card-based gameplay, and the controls felt clunky and frustrating to use. It just didn’t feel enjoyable or smooth to play. Unless there are major improvements, I won’t be coming back to it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed the earlier Youtubers Life game (too much!) So thouight I would get this one. I created a profile, and started the game only for it to get to "live soon", a quick glimpse of the first scene, and then a quick return to the start screen with no option for continuation. At this point, as much as I don't want to requiest a refund, I might need to if I can't figure this our.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Frankly, my initial expectations leaned towards a more expansive experience akin to "Stardew Valley," incorporating collaborative video creation and management while maintaining the dynamic day-to-day progression seen in "Youtubers Life 2." The implementation of real-time constraints, requiring waiting periods for actions, feels like a step backward, particularly in contrast to the freedom of movement in "Youtubers Life 2." While I appreciated the original "Youtubers Life," the return to a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First I thought OMG it is Online and all this interaction, but it kinda forces you to log in everyday I think Youtubers Life 2 is still the best concept they came up with.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first Youtubers Life was amazing and so was the second, but I just hate most aspects of this game. The online aspect is terrible. Edit: I came back to try this game again, and I actually like the updates they have made to this game, could do with some minor improvements, but overall it is a decent game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not worth the money and honestly shouldn't have been made. This was not a game series that needed an online multiplayer feature and I don't expect the online will be available within a year. It will just be another game with servers shut down while the devs move on to their next money grab. Requested a refund after less than 30 minutes of play time it was so bad and will be sticking to replaying the first two games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →there is a real time aspect and i really dont like it, also many things require online play against other players including the daily events, no one is on. it sucks so far and im very disapointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is basically what happens when The Sims, Animal Crossing, and your dream of internet stardom have a chaotic little baby — and then give it Wi-Fi.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVED Youtubers Life 1 and 2. This is nothing like either of them, and I understand that it is in early access, but at the end of the day I paid money to play this game and was severely disappointed. It is way over competitive compared to the first two, which is great if that's what you like, but it isn't what those who enjoyed the first two enjoy. The game takes off without you when you come off due to it being live services, so if you are not playing it 24/7, you will be left behind. A lot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was waiting for a game that became a poor card game :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game because i loved 1 & 2, but i just can't at the moment. I really don't play youtubers life to interact with other people-- i have no interest in playing with other people. i really miss the charm of being able to get to know other npc's. even getting married to them. those features have now been replaced with real people and honestly i hate it. i dont want to build friendships or marry other players. there should at least be npc options for those of us who aren't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no.....just no...i gave it a chance based on past experiences with yt life being good, but this is such a downgrade that i'm wondering what the heck the dev's were thinking with these decisions. They took everything great about the first 2, tossed them into the bin and gave us the recycled trash they pulled out. I'll start with things I liked, it still has the general "feel" of yt life 1&2, as hollow as it is, but honestly, just play the first 2 at that point, graphical improvements compared…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sooo After the update on streaming once you get to 10k and cant do jobs your kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ theres no really anyway to make money because the game really REQUIRES you to play to stream mod which is still kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ i played a few rounds and got destroyed by 2 people attacking me in round 3 sooo Better have a time for a second life to grind on this game. Some fixes was great making soo you dont have to play stream is cool but the game mechanics kinda require you to play stream to make any income…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nothing like the second or the first
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the online part of the game, but the game gets boring and repetitive after an hour. There's nothing to do at all... it's just a repeat of stream, edit, eat. Very slow storyline and I hate how it syncs with real time. All of the previous games have a lot more depth!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →well... its not a bad game but has many, MANY errors, i just finished spending 90k on stuff for my house and i saved the game and got out to came back later, when i came back there were nothing and i mean NOTHING of it, all that grinding gone... the only thing that was saved was my subs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate to say it but I have to agree with steam even as early access this game is real bad. From the graphics to the time system. I can't find a single thing I liked in the 30 minutes I played. Why ruin a perfectly good rhyme that they had with the other two games. I love these games so I hope they will listen to their community and get rid of the elements that everyone is hating. Why give it a real time basis when it was perfect as an in game hour is a minute I get if its because of the times…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been following the series since the first game. The first game really impressed me, I played it happily and with pleasure. The second game had nothing to do with the first game, although it maintained certain dynamics, they tried to make it similar to the popular story games of that period. It was disturbing, but I still played it out of love for the first game of the series. This newly released third version is nothing but an insult to the player base who loved the game. This game has…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like everybody been saying if you aren't on this 24/7 you will get further down the leaderboard and it's impossible to get back up to top 100. I played this all day when it came out i was 87 or something like that and a day later i was already 277 and then i checked today i was 677 so this game feel WAY more like actual work than just a casual game and the multiplayer leaderboard is complete ♥♥♥♥ it feel like you need to play this literally everyday to catch up. i also hate how events and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought it'd be a cozy lifesim game but it turned out to be a really really bad card game with online aspect. Point and click type of game. Do not recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It lost the charm of the previous YL games. No more slow, peaceful, stress-free gameplay of the old YL games because online feature creates this sense of competition, like if you skip playing just because you have real things to do IRL, then your character will fall behind. The real time feature that matches to IRL date and time made me feel stuck with no progression at all. The level up didn't give me rewarding gameplay experience at all. I need to wait for tomorrow so the character can go to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →YouTubers Life 3 has a lot of potential but feels like a different step forward from its predecessors. It’s easy to see why some players have been leaving negative reviews, there are certainly things that need work. But not everything about the game is bad. In fact, there’s a lot here that shows promise, and with time and support, this could shape up to be a good game in the series. The concept offers a refreshing take on the series, clearly setting itself apart from the first two games with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly the first 2 games were alright if not good, but this is just... Not what I expected and I don't wan't to be forced to play online. So please make an option for Single Player. If not I'm affraid I will not be playing this game and will ask for a refund. And if you ask me to take down this review then I can tell you now. No. The tutorial is a little bit confusing and you need to Play online (Livestream) if you wan't you're fans to be happy. And last but definetlly not least is the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a mobile game that they're trying to sell for $20. I was excited for a multiplayer version but you have to wait in real time for events and the multiplayer is basically dumbed down to two things. A version of wanna-be instagram and I cannot stress this enough, what might be the worst card-based pvp mode I've had the displeasure of playing. I'm genuinely shocked that I'm not getting 15 pop-up ads while trying to upload my instagram photos just as another quick slap in the face for having…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game restricts me to 4 video's only of a specific type. ♥♥♥♥ that let me make as many as I want rather than putting me on a hard limit. ♥♥♥♥ that ♥♥♥♥.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From being a player since the 2nd game. I enjoy the online competition between real players but its repetitive and boring after a little bit. They took an solo aspect out of it, which makes the game boring quickly. Hope they change that aspect or get back to it in a future game. Only online and not being able to really go anywhere besides your room and a couple other places not so much fun. Also has some bugs with the events. I paid to attend event then day off wouldn't let me go so missing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this game as it is. It relies so heavily on the card battler system for content creation that it just isn't fun. And you can't skip it! You can't just say, "No. I don't want to do it, so I won't stream." Streaming is one of your gauges you have to keep filled, which only fills a little if you don't win the stream battle. Recording is different, but not totally bad. If I could focus on that, I would be totally happy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game cheeks bruh
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Randomly lost 10k subs and had my whole house wiped and now I'm broke 10/10 game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this is a fine and fun game however the massive shift of Gameplay Style for YouTubers Life 2 to 3 hurts. The main thing I'm upset about and want to be solved before I even turn this into a Liked Review despite how flawed the game is simply remove the AI Art from the game and replace it with anything human drawn, It doens't need to good I just want some soul put into it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not bad of a game, but for sure runs completely off track of the previous games. rather than that feel of "youtubers life", it does feel like a pvp card simulator battle. good game, but repetitive and not consistent with its prior games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You should put offline mode because I certainly don't want to play with others.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game DOES have a lot of potential! I personally like this game much more than Youtubers Life 2, however not as original and fun as Youtubers Life 1. This is one of those games you need to get and try out for yourself to decide if you like it, it's something not meant for everyone but I enjoy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so terribly unbalanced, and given the audience is children, the competitive aspect is pointless because kids arent smart enough to strategize. someone could have 250 points and im still being attacked. This game is terrible.
