Why Metro Awakening rarely causes motion sickness
Horror pacing actually helps here: Metro moves slowly, in tunnels that give your eyes constant close reference points, which is far easier on the vestibular system than open sprinting. The linked forum thread asks whether teleport movement is available before buying, the standard question from sensitive players, and the store label suggests the comfort work landed.

For most people the worst of it fades within 10 to 20 minutes of taking the headset off; the full timeline and what speeds it up are covered in how long VR sickness lasts. Building tolerance deliberately is its own guide.
