Guerrilla Games

Guerrilla Games at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to understand Guerrilla Games, start with their history. This Dutch studio began in 2000 as Lost Boys Games before changing its name in 2003 and joining Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2005. They have been active for two decades, releasing six titles in the 2000s, seven in the 2010s, and seven in the 2020s. Their output is heavily focused on PlayStation hardware, with ten games on PS4 and nine on PS5. They also have a significant presence on PC with seven releases and older platforms like the PS3 and PS2 with four titles each. The company identifies primarily as a shooter developer with fourteen titles in that genre. Adventure games make up ten of their projects, while they have developed nine role-playing games and two puzzles. Their most famous series include Killzone and Horizon. The quality of their work shows a clear trend. Across eleven rated titles, they hold an average IGDB score of 75.8 out of 100. Five of their games are rated as great with scores above 80, while five fall into the good range between 60 and 79. They have one mixed title but no poor-rated games in the data set. High points for Guerrilla Games include Killzone 2 from 2009 with a score of 84.5 and Killzone 3 from 2011 at 80.6. Their Horizon series has performed even better recently. Horizon Zero Dawn from 2017 earned 88.2, while its remastered version released in October 2024 reached 89.4. Horizon Forbidden West from February 2022 scored 88.7. However, their most recent release, LEGO Horizon Adventures in November 2024, received a lower score of 70.6. This suggests a dip in reception for their latest entry compared to the mainline action titles. Guerrilla Games has built a catalog that spans from early PlayStation days to current generation consoles. Their shift toward open-world adventure in recent years contrasts with their earlier shooter roots. While they maintain high standards for their flagship series, the data shows that not every project hits the same mark as their top-rated entries.
