    Tethered is a very cute game with really cool graphics, the characters look alive and organic and the world it self is beautiful. Very good sound and the overall game is very polished.

    But this game lacks motion control support, and it barely uses the controller you're holding. For the most part you just use your head for everything which in my opinion is not a good solution for VR. I
    Tethered is a very cute game with really cool graphics, the characters look alive and organic and the world it self is beautiful. Very good sound and the overall game is very polished.

    But this game lacks motion control support, and it barely uses the controller you're holding. For the most part you just use your head for everything which in my opinion is not a good solution for VR. I don not like having to point my face into everything just to preform simple tasks. And at night when you must preform a lot of actions quickly and all you got is your head then it might even become frustrating.

    You can't move your head to much either. Its like a little box that you must keep your head in or the screen will fade so you cannot look behind things or inspect the cute characters up close. Instead you just point your face to a cloud and teleport there to change your spectator viewpoint.

    This is a good game but it has no real reason to be a vr game. Why is it vr i don not see the point in it.

    Tethered is a VR god game. In VR this game has perspective that makes it look like your playing over a table top. A pretty cool experience and very pretty but not really my thing.

    Strategy games may be a niche market on console, but Tethered genuinely has its heart in the right place. With a little more autonomy in its Peeps, it could have been a great game, instead of an above average one. Certainly a good choice if you want a lengthy VR game, though.

    Tethered is a pleasant and relaxing game suited for players looking for a peaceful experience. However, due to its peculiar gameplay, it's not a game which everyone can enjoy.
