Motion sickness during some games?

Hey fellow gamers,

I'm a PC gamer and play a large variety of games. Just recently in the past year – I've started getting extremely sick when playing certain games. It's typically adventure first-person games that do it for me such as – Raft, sons of the forest, Icarus, Stranded deep, house flipper, Phasmophobia is the absolute worst.

I used to be able to play these games for hours without any issues. I took a 6-month break from all games. Now I can't even play for 10 mins without getting that motion sickness feeling. I can't even watch a friends stream of them playing it lol. I've been physically sick from it and instantly have to go lay down. This just started recently in the past few months. I've tried the whole gradually getting back into them but nope. I just can't handle those games anymore.

However, I play a lot of first-person shooters like Valorant, CS2, Pubg, cod, etc. and I'm fine whenever playing those games. I'm a pro Valorant manager and a Faceit tech admin for CS2 so I do have to sit and watch some games occasionally and still have not had any issues with those games.

Anyone else experience this before? Any tips on how you got over it or how you cope with it?

I'd like to be able to come home from work and play a couple hours of raft or sons of the forest with some friends here and there lol
