Why God of War (2018) can trigger motion sickness
The camera stays close behind Kratos in one continuous shot, so every turn in combat moves the whole image. PC Gamer reports that the motion blur default is the maximum level of 10, which adds smearing to those turns. PCGamingWiki lists no field of view slider to widen the view.
