Completely agree, it's actually something I suffer with myself. The trouble of course is once you start feeling sick, there's nothing to be done for it other than stop playing.
Unfortunately for me, while I can play most first-person games (even in VR!) as long as they give decent camera options, unexpected camera movements - cutscenes, celebrations, excessive screen shake, anything that takes away control of the camera from me - are the real killer so this is something I'm extra aware to avoid in my own games.
I'd definitely be interested to hear (or read, if you wrote about this anywhere) more about the dark/brown environments issue, hadn't heard that one before!
I guess the Minecraft nausea effect works a bit too well.
The only screen effect that doesn’t make me feel sick is the ink in Mario Kart.
Interestingly, that effect has a lot in common with some anti-motion-sickness settings like reducing field of view (in a lot of first person VR games they will literally shutter off your peripheral vision). So that makes a lot of sense!
