For eons developers have been pondering how to make strategy games work on standard controllers. Tethered, a new title from start-up Secret Sorcery, thinks that it's happened upon the solution: virtual reality. Using the PlayStation VR headset, this diorama-esque experience sees you playing God by using your gaze to, ahem, tether small little creatures to objects of interest.

We're not massively keen on the artstyle, but the camera perspective and sense of depth makes for an interesting experiment. Leaning into the world and watching your 'Peeps' work is fun, and the controls really do function well – much better than they would without the head-tracking. Check out the gameplay video embedded above, and let us know if you'll be picking this up in the comments below.
