Those who struggle with motion sickness, what games do you play/recommend? (lemmy.world)

Over the many years I've tried to get into gaming (Dark Souls, Cats, Valorant, Hogwarts, Portal, etc), I've always backed out due to motion sickness. I'm getting really tired of never truly enjoying any gaming experience so it'd be nice to have some non-motion-sickness-inducing games to try out.

It sounds like you need to stay away from 1st person perspective games. Find some "top down" style games: Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Starcraft, etc and see how those work for your motion sickness since the camera is much more locked in place.

I've looked at Stardew before (my friend plays it) and didn't quite like how crowded the game looked if that makes sense. It seems like there's too many things moving on the screen at every point of the game. Maybe its the design but that's what drew me away from the game. Apart from that, I think I'll try out Starcraft. It's been under my radar for a while now. Thanks for the recs.

Or maybe ARPGs like Diablo 4 / Lost Epoch, they also feature a mostly static top down camera.

Ooh, Diablo 4 looks really promising. The gameplay looks abit like a combination of Hades, Dark Souls, and single player Dota 2 if you know what I mean. Gonna try it out, thanks for the rec!

Sure thing! As for Stardew, I think the only "chaotic" part is when you do the combat stuff in the dungeons - but the beauty of Stardew is that content can mostly be ignored if you want and you end up with a very relaxed farming/fishing/discovery game. For what it's worth, every family member who hates gaming I've suggested Stardew and they all got hooked.
