YouTubers Life 2 is now available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, and while the game is far from accurate when it comes to showing what life as a YouTuber is like, the relaxing experience is making it one of my favourite games I've played on my Nintendo Switch in a long while. As someone who isn't into the Metroid craze, having access to this game right now is a god-send!
