optimization33 negative mentions
  • Authentic and atmospheric depiction of 1990s Bratislava with a detailed map and cultural references that resonate with Slovak players.
  • Engaging storyline inspired by real historical events combined with quality Slovak voice acting and an immersive radio soundtrack.
  • Driving mechanics and vehicle selection are well-executed, providing enjoyment despite technical issues; the game's unique setting offers a fresh perspective in the open-world genre.
  • Severe optimization problems result in low and inconsistent frame rates even on modern hardware, making the game often unplayable.
  • Numerous bugs and glitches, including AI malfunctions, crashes, and mission blockers, significantly detract from gameplay experience.
  • Outdated graphics, poor animation quality, and unpolished game mechanics such as clumsy combat and awkward controls, coupled with intrusive and poorly integrated advertising.

  • story

    171 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    28% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The game's story is praised for its authentic, culturally rich narrative set in 1990s Bratislava, offering a unique and engaging experience rooted in real historical events. However, it is often described as short, somewhat underdeveloped, and hindered by a weak, fragmented structure and mediocre mission design. Despite technical issues and bugs impacting gameplay, many players find the story and atmosphere to be the standout aspects worth experiencing.

    • “The storyline is interesting, and I think it's the main reason why the game is worth trying.”
    • “Authentic storytelling: the narrative is deeply engaging, staying remarkably close to the real-life events that shaped Slovakia during that era.”
    • “The setting, story and voice acting are amazing and are the key to what makes this game feel special.”
    • “What hurts the most is that a lot was promised, but what’s delivered feels unfinished: a weak story made of only a handful of missions, and an ending that lands with the awkward “roll credits” vibe of a low-effort movie wrap-up rather than a proper conclusion.”
    • “The story feels thin and undercooked, built from too few missions, and the ending is painfully weak.”
    • “The story feels somewhat stitched together, and the historical events — which could be the most interesting part for many players — often take a back seat to building the open-world version of the city.”

  • optimization

    82 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    5% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The game suffers from severely poor optimization, causing frequent stuttering, low and unstable frame rates even on high-end hardware, crashes, and performance inconsistencies across platforms including PC and Steam Deck. Despite running on Unity, which may contribute to technical limitations, the game's performance issues significantly hinder the overall experience and require major patches to become more playable and stable.

    • “Vivat Slovakia has come a long way from early builds; its performance and visuals were greatly enhanced and for the price, you get a good story, great deal of fun, and awesome atmospheric feeling of 90's Bratislava.”
    • “Haven't experienced any crashes so far and I can surely say the performance is getting better with each update.”
    • “Optimization is okay with a good CPU, 60fps - story is very appealing even if I am not really sure if it´s truly based on real events - graphics is below standard.”
    • “This game is clearly half-baked; the optimization is a joke, with stuttering and frame drops making it barely playable even on powerful hardware.”
    • “Honestly, the game runs terribly on a Steam Deck, stuck at around 20 FPS regardless of graphic settings. Optimization seems virtually nonexistent and doesn't improve with tweaks.”
    • “I did not expect a good game from these devs (Vivat Sloboda was also a disaster). Both games are barely playable due to very bad optimization — under 50 FPS on a 5600x and 6700xt at 1440p with GPU underutilized, and no improvement changing settings.”

  • graphics

    51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 18% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game are widely criticized for being outdated, poorly optimized, and visually unimpressive, often compared unfavorably to much older titles from the early 2000s or late 2000s. While some appreciate the game's attempt at 90s-era realism and atmospheric aesthetic, performance issues like stuttering, low frame rates, and graphical bugs significantly detract from the experience. Overall, the visuals are considered lackluster and in need of refinement, though they fit the game’s unique cultural and nostalgic setting to some degree.

    • “The lighting and reflections and the quality of the graphics is great.”
    • “Vivat Slovakia has come a long way from early builds, its performance and visuals were greatly enhanced and for the price, you get a good story, great deal of fun and awesome atmospherical feeling of 90's Bratislava.”
    • “The setting is fully atmospherical and feels alive, graphics are very pretty, especially now after latest improvements.”
    • “The game is in many aspects worse than GTA 3 or Mafia 1, which are now 25-year-old games (even in graphics, the absence of filmed cutscenes is not helping).”
    • “The graphics are really poor for today's standards, and the optimization is even worse.”
    • “- Graphics look like a 20 years old game, I wasn't expecting much and was prepared to forgive this aspect, but as there are many other flaws in this game, I can't.”
    • “Unoptimized (drops to 12fps with RTX 4070 Ti), buggy (traffic rules broken, clipping issues), many interesting parts of the city not accessible (e.g. city center), graphics look horrible (Mafia from 2001 looks better compared to this).”

  • gameplay

    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    16% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a variety of activities and an immersive taxi mechanic that provide a unique identity, but it suffers from bugs, poor optimization, and sluggish pacing. Driving and combat mechanics are notably unpolished, with frequent technical issues disrupting the experience. While there is clear passion and charm behind the design, inconsistent quality and lack of refinement prevent the gameplay from fully engaging players.

    • “There is a lot of passion put into this game and it really shows from the variety of cars to gameplay elements like recreational activities to side jobs and hustles.”
    • “The taxi mechanic is not just a narrative device but a central gameplay element, providing a consistent way to engage with the world.”
    • “The gameplay is engaging, and I found myself getting immersed pretty quickly.”
    • “The gameplay is terrible - choppy and buggy.”
    • “On-foot gameplay, including combat and movement, lacks the same level of polish.”
    • “Issues such as inconsistent frame rates, bugs, and occasional instability can disrupt the flow of gameplay.”

  • atmosphere

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its authentic and immersive depiction of 1990s Bratislava, capturing the era's cultural nuances and urban environment with impressive detail. Players appreciate the lively, lived-in city setting and the nostalgic ambiance, which significantly enhances the overall experience despite some technical flaws. This unique portrayal of Slovak history and culture stands out as a key strength of the game.

    • “It offers a fascinating, semi-fictionalized look at the wild 1990s, capturing the atmosphere of a state in transition with impressive detail.”
    • “Immersive atmosphere: from the architecture to the cultural nuances, the game provides a captivating and unique perspective on Slovak history.”
    • “Vivat Slovakia has come a long way from early builds, its performance and visuals were greatly enhanced and for the price, you get a good story, great deal of fun and awesome atmospheric feeling of 90's Bratislava.”
    • “Be it graphics, overall optimization, atmosphere, or story - it's disgustingly bad.”
    • “Despite its flaws, it has atmosphere, and you can feel the amount of work that went into it.”
    • “Despite these shortcomings, Vivat Slovakia leaves a lasting impression through its atmosphere and cultural specificity.”

  • humor

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is often quirky, culturally specific, and reminiscent of the GTA series, with many jokes and references resonating strongly with Slovak and Central European audiences familiar with local culture and history. While some humor relies on cultural knowledge and can be awkward or lost on others, many players find the game's bugs, ragdoll physics, and freeze-frame cutscenes unintentionally funny, adding to its janky charm. Overall, the humor is praised for its nostalgia, cynicism, and entertaining moments despite some rough edges.

    • “The cut-scenes are hilarious, it took me a minute to realize that there is no animation and everything is just a freeze frame, but that kinda just adds to the janky charm of the game.”
    • “The game’s storyline is both heartwarming and humorous, filled with cultural references that will resonate deeply with anyone familiar with Slavic life in the 00s.”
    • “Very interesting and funny project, especially if you are Central European, know the language and environment from early 90s.”

  • stability

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from numerous bugs, glitches, and performance issues, including frequent freezes, texture problems, and poor optimization, leading to inconsistent and choppy gameplay. However, despite these stability problems, many users still find the game fun and worth trying, especially considering its early access status and small development team.

    • “The 1.0 version is buggy, performance is inconsistent, but with limited resources team Vivat put software (although barely working) into the world.”
    • “Constant texture glitches that make the world look like it’s melting.”
    • “- Buggy as hell, in the second mission where you are supposed to follow journalist in car, that car crashes on the second turn into the tree and refuses to move whatsoever.”

  • music

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The game's music effectively captures a 90s Slovak vibe, featuring well-known local artists and nostalgic radio stations with moderators, enhancing immersion. Players appreciate the ability to add custom music via a dedicated folder, though some AI-generated tracks feel off and detract from authenticity. Overall, the soundtrack and voice acting contribute positively to the atmosphere despite occasional criticisms regarding technical issues.

    • “I enjoy Radio Madonna, which features artists like Separ, as well as other well-known names from the Slovak music scene.”
    • “Music during the story is decent, and cars have a radio where, in addition to the songs, you can hear a moderator's voice.”
    • “I also have to mention that vehicles are equipped with stereos that transmit six radio stations of different genres and one for custom music.”
    • “Also, some radio songs generated by AI for a game set in the 90s just don't seem right. I can't really tell which ones are, but I knew something felt off with some songs when they sound like they've been recorded by a crackhead in a bathtub.”
    • “I did not expect a good game from these devs (Vivat Sloboda was also a disaster and devs were defending it as a perfect demo). Both games are absolute trash, barely playable. After an update more than 2 weeks ago, the game does not launch at all for me (just a black screen with music). Very bad optimization - I had less than 50fps on 5600x and 6700xt at 1440p while GPU usage was almost nil. No change with low/medium/high settings. The game has potential and a good idea, but it is not ready for public yet. I will wait to see if devs fix the game to make it enjoyable or at least playable, but honestly, I am not expecting much.”
    • “Music during the story is decent and cars have a radio where, in addition to the songs, you can hear a moderator's voice.”

  • monetization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization of the game is widely criticized for the excessive presence of ads, which many users find intrusive and inappropriate for a paid title. Despite receiving sponsorships and funding, the heavy ad placement feels more like a cash grab than a genuine passion project.

    • “The game itself has ads in it which I think I've never seen in any other game.”
    • “20€ game... contains ads.”
    • “Ads are everywhere; it's really disgusting to see ads on every corner.”

  • emotional

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game offers a heartfelt and humorous storyline rich with cultural references that resonate deeply, especially for those familiar with Slavic life in the 2000s. However, the voice acting is criticized for its lack of emotional range, feeling flat and unengaging. Overall, the emotional storytelling stands out despite some performance shortcomings.

    • “The game's storyline is both heartwarming and humorous, filled with cultural references that will resonate deeply with anyone familiar with Slavic life in the 00s.”
    • “Rating: 9/10 – a heartfelt tribute to a beloved era.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's replayability is considered low, especially when compared to older titles like Mafia 1 from 2002, which players find significantly more engaging despite its age and lower budget.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is intense and time-consuming, often requiring significant effort or additional resources to progress effectively.
