This indie title stands out for its haunting atmosphere and engaging storytelling, offering a unique blend of strategy and survival mechanics that keeps players on edge.

When it comes to PC performance, "How" is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU to run effectively. The minimum GPU score of around 300 indicates that even modest hardware can deliver satisfactory FPS. Players can expect smooth gameplay with minimal graphical settings, making it an excellent choice for those using lower-end systems or older GPUs. For optimal performance at higher graphics settings, a mid-tier GPU would be advisable.

If you're a fan of psychological horror and indie games, "How" is certainly worth your time.

Whether you're exploring its eerie environments or strategizing for survival, this game promises an engaging experience that lends itself well to repeated playthroughs.

Performance profile

March 2023 release. As a current-generation title, How pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

As a strategy title, How is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — How runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
