Why Stellar Blade can trigger motion sickness
Combat is the core of the game, and it lays motion blur, camera shake, film grain and chromatic aberration over a moving camera. Kotaku's guide to the settings says motion blur and a camera shake slider sit in Accessibility, and that film grain and chromatic aberration can be switched off in the Display settings. RPGSite reports that accessibility presets can change some of the same options, including a motion sickness preset. PCGamingWiki lists a community tool as the way to change the field of view on PC.
