Motion sickness simulator

Bought this on sale a while ago and fired it up on a whim. Game seemed to run fine aside from some initial stuttering but it did level out. The core idea behind this game is cool, blending melee combat and weapons together for a cool arcade-style FPS. There's even air juggling with your sword, and it swings very fast. Enemies did blend into the environment quite a bit and it was often difficult to see them, though I suppose it makes sense since they were wearing military uniforms and the weather was very gloomy in the first level. There's a moderate amount of jank but that's fine.

But buyer beware, this game has some intense screen shake effects for nearly everything that's happening. Even a simple jump makes the screen visibly shake upon landing. And it just seems to intensify during combat. There are options to disable motion blur but absolutely no options for the obscene screen shaking. The camera also bobs around very excessively when running around. I have played many different FPS games in the past and none of them felt quite as.. "unwieldy" as this game did. The camera shakes around so much in this game that it straight up ruined the entire experience for me personally.

I'm not particularly sensitive to motion sickness but I could tell that had I kept playing this for longer, I would be dealing with a nasty headache sooner or later.
