Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visually Euphoric Brothers games have a very distinct art style which is shared across their games, however unlike their other very muted and colorless games, How We Got Here is a lot more colorful and has a lot more interesting environments.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Rather than relying on fast-paced action or traditional progression systems, the game places players inside a strange and dreamlike world where curiosity becomes the primary motivation for moving forward.
