Tethered
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.
Quotation forthcoming.

I am not a fan of this genre but I will give it an 8 because it is beautiful and if you are a fan, you are probably going to like it a lot.

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.

Tethered is a delightful experience that shows the immense range of genres that can benefit from being brought to virtual reality. It boasts a playful and thoughtful approach to strategic god games whilst bringing you wholly into its world. For PSVR owners looking for something a little different, Tethered is utterly essential.

Tethered is a smart, inventive and funny game with a clever control scheme. One of the best PSVR games out there.

I knew this game would be adorable. And then I played it, and it was even MORE adorable!!! A lovely little light-strategy/village-sim title with endearing little "peeps" who are only occasionally suicidally depressed. It's not overwhelmingly deep, but there's always plenty that needs tending to as your peeps defend themselves, make new discoveries need buildings built, or need resources refreshed. Play it in PSVR with Move controllers and it's amazing to spin around their little world or zoom in to stand alongside them. Looks great, and very enjoyable to play, I definitely recommend it!

Another genuinely great PlayStation VR title, that offers innovative gameplay and presentation rather than just tech demo novelty.

This is an unusual, engaging and worthwhile bit of counter programming. [Christmas 2016, p.91]

Tethered seems like the kind of game players could get obsessed with playing for hours on end, but virtual reality headset-wearing often makes marathon gaming sessions tougher to manage. Keep an eye out in case Secret Sorcery ever decides to bring Tethered to PC or non-VR platforms, as it would probably be even more enjoyable for those platforms.

By far the best PS VR game I have played. Simple yet entertaining, gameplay feels great and the atmosphere of the game is awesome. First game that I have played over an hour straight

Wow. When will they add some more of the highly positive critic reviews that are out there? Honestly, this game is a blast. Probably my favorite VR experience yet and one of the first fully-fledged games for PS VR out there. I highly recommend it unless you absolutely hate strategy games. My only knock at it is that it can actually get really hard and also there's not really an endless mode once you've beaten the game.

Great and charming game - love the gameplay and the sense of feeling their god. One small issue that caught me was the occasional jittering of the camera. Hopefully this can be fixed in an update.

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.
