Streamer Life Simulator 2

It's so bad that it's good again

If you need something to kill time, then it is a good game to get while on sale. $20 for the game though is kinda steep. The driving mechanics on your bike or in a car is awful. It is an extreme grind until you find out the power move. The person who contacts you about sending you money during the stream for you to send them back their cut is like a built in power gaming option. You can use the money to upgrade things for your streams to get better, just make sure you have no money in your pocket when it comes time for them to steal the money back and they get nothing and still continue to offer you money. I thought there would be things like a campaign or story to push you along to force you to move to other houses. Better internet is the only reason to move to the other houses but you have to pick up everything and move it yourself. The animals are kind of pointless from what I have seen. I know they are supposed to give you a boost, but you can't really take pictures of them or anything. You can't feed them or interact with them other than to pick them up when you have captured them. Viewers will complain about things with your stream you can't fix or they haven't given options yet to allow you to correct. The gaming streams are horrible to have to sit through since the games you're given an option to play are awful. They could have added Tetris or things that are actually enjoyable to play since we have to interact with the gaming streams. The fridge is pointless - I bought a ton of food and kept it in my pockets/inventory without it spoiling. The fridge just increases your electricity. Shelves and the fridge don't have any kind of grid system for you to place items on them properly. I couldn't get any of my mining rigs to go on the shelves when they fit perfectly and are smaller than the shelves on the one unit. Plushies don't fit on the shelves either and are massive in size. All of the furniture is strictly for aesthetic purposes. You can only interact with the computer, fridge, bed, shower, and toilet. No TV or anything to take a rest between streams. You pretty much just stream for 11 hours, then eat, then stream again for another 11 hours, and although in a sense of time, 2 days may have passed, the game considers it one day. The phone is clunky, you can't move it around or flip the camera to take photos of things in the world. You have a few different poses but you're so close to the phone and it doesn't allow you to move or zoom out so you can't even see what the character is doing or the photo looks stupid but you still get tons of likes and follows for them. In short, it is a time killer, but once you start making a ton of money, it is boring because there is nothing left to do or buy. I have 19 hours in on the game and before I left the first house I almost had a maxed computer. I moved to the second house, found 2 dogs, bought a car, bought a ton of crypto mining things, and then it just became stale. Waiting for the next update before I go back to playing it. Would be nice if they allowed you to break into the houses and businesses and attempt to steal computer parts to sell or use in the beginning as it was very very slow to make money in the beginning and there wasn't a lot going on. Needs a lot of fixing and updating. Otherwise it is short lived. If you want it to be a realistic Streamer Life Sim, make it harder. My guy is practically Ninja of the Dodo world and I was able to do it in 19 hours.
