Why Mafia: The Old Country can trigger motion sickness

Motion sickness in games starts when your eyes see movement that your body does not feel. Camera shake adds movement you did not ask for. Drive and ride sections keep the camera moving with a vehicle or a horse. 2K gives you a switch for camera shake, a field of view control, a motion blur option on PC, and two vehicle camera settings. Together they cover the camera movement 2K documents.

Camera shake layered on top of your own movement, which has its own toggle
Drive and ride sections, which 2K lists a skip toggle for
The optional first-person driving camera, which puts the view in the driver's seat

At the first sign of queasiness, stop, look at a fixed point in the distance and slow your breathing
