Playing games is fun. Finally getting a new game that you anticipate a very long time to be played is a very happy feeling, but when the game suddenly makes you feel dizzy to want to vomit, the game may be hard for you no matter how good would finish the game. For me personally, just a few games that cause the nausea but all have one thing in common in itself: Everything is a FPS (First-Person Shooter). Action-packed games such as Doom, Overwatch, and Call of Duty never made me feel nauseous, but the game is rated "more relaxed" and quietly like Bioshock, Dishonored and Prey always makes me feel wanted to take a break every one hour of play. Although the game is still a game that I enjoy and even Bioshock is my favorite game at the moment, sometimes I have to think twice when I want to try to replay those games. This raises a big question for me and perhaps you are reading: What makes some games can cause dizziness and nausea?
Know Motion Sickness
Nausea while playing the game is referred to as motion sickness or simulator sickness .

Parts of the brain that controls vomiting (yup, that section there) ketidaksambungan concluded as a result of hallucinations caused by poisoning, and to neutralize the body of "toxins", the body is forced to vomit.
For a while, the above theory is a theory that the most solid of the reason occurrence of nausea while playing the game. Motion sickness is not limited to video games alone. According to a report taken in August 2007 (via Lifewire), a research institute in the United States army soldier says that nearly half of US military pilots experienced motion sickness of practice using a simulation program.Overcoming Motion Sickness

5. Adjust the light level in the room or on the screen while playing
Again, there is no theory that can explain why this might be able to help you in playing, but from the experience of some players and also my own, playing with the level of brightness on the monitor lower can decrease the risk of the appearance of motion sickness , the same thing applies to playing in a dark room.
6. Do not get too close to the monitor
Remember when your parents often tell you to back off a bit from the TV screen? Now try to play with a greater distance from the screen, especially for PC gamers.
