Why Lords of the Fallen (2023) can trigger motion sickness
Lords of the Fallen is a Soulslike action game, and the camera tracks you from behind as you dodge and lock on. Some level elements and elevators add camera shake, and the Umbral realm adds a vignette around the screen. Hexworks has toned some of this down in patches: it reduced exaggerated camera shake on elevators and softened the Umbral vignette.
- Camera shake from level elements and elevators
- A camera that resets horizontally when you press lock-on, which can be disabled
- Motion blur and the vignette in the Umbral realm
