Viva Media

Viva Media at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to understand who Viva Media is, you will find a United States publisher that has been active from 2004 through 2016. The company founded in 1999 released a total of 59 games on our platform, with the vast majority of those titles published rather than developed. Their catalog shows a heavy shift toward the 2010s, where they released 43 games compared to only 10 in the previous decade. This output suggests a period of significant activity during the second part of their operational life. Their portfolio focuses heavily on Adventure games with 28 titles, followed by Puzzle and Simulator genres. They also have a presence in Point-and-click, Sport, Strategy, and Racing categories. The platform reach is almost entirely centered on PC for Microsoft Windows, which accounts for all 59 releases. They did publish some versions for Mac, iOS, Linux, Android, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, but these numbers are small. Quality control appears to be an inconsistent area for Viva Media. The average IGDB rating across 35 rated titles sits at 56.8 out of 100. This score reflects a catalog that is largely mixed or poor. Only two games achieved a great rating above 80, while 17 titles fell into the mixed range between 40 and 59. Three games received poor ratings below 40. Their best performers include Zoombinis from 2015 with an 80 score and Nearwood: Collector's Edition from 2014, which also scored 80. Race 07 from 2007 reached 77.6, and Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 hit 75.8. Recent releases from late 2016 show this trend continuing. Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 maintained a solid score of 75.8 in December 2016. However, other titles from that period like Dream Catcher Chronicles: Manitou and Comic Book Hero: The Greatest Cape both scored just 50. Small Town Terrors entries appeared around the same time without specific scores listed. While the company once ranked in the top 10 for North American retail sales on PC for several years, their game ratings do not reflect a consistent track record of high quality. Most of their output lands in the middle or lower tiers of critical reception.
