My little opinions. There are nuances and in some cases I could prefer enabling or disabling a feature, game by game basis. A plus and minus sign in front of the topic is a general conclusion if I like it or don’t. You workout what plus and minus means here.
+Motion Blur: Looking at Motion Blur in a static image is unfavorable to the effect, because it’s an effect that makes only sense to look at it when moving. And there are different implementations of Motion Blur, sometimes making the experience better, in some other cases it makes it worse. I quiet like the effect in racing games, when used correctly. It increases the sense of speed and has no downsides. I do not like it in first person shooters. A good implementation knows why it is implemented and does not blur the entire screen for no reason, and the blur quality is good. So it depends, but I like good and useful blur.
-Chromatic aberration: I hate it. Coming from photography, chromatic aberration is an artifact that decreases the image quality without gaining anything. This is usually a weakness resulting by the camera lens. In a game, I get that they try to emulate filmic experience, but outside of very cinematic cut scenes that look like a scene from a film, I don’t see any benefit. It’s often also used in normal gameplay of action shooter games in example. It just decreases the image quality and perceived sharpness. I hate it. I hate it like sand, it gets everywhere!
+Depth of Field (also known as DOF): I like it. Also coming from photography, the depth of field is a useful technique to bring something in focus. The background be out of focus, so it is less noise. Whatever is in foreground you want to bring attention to, is the main subject and sharp. This is cool effect used in cinema, photography and therefore in cinematic cut scenes in games that look like a film. There are couple of games that use it in gameplay too, but I never liked the look of it (in gameplay). I guess there might be exceptions, like for certain single player sniper games. Overall I like the effect when done good and usually have it enabled.
In some games these effect can cost additional performance, so if that is a critical issue, then I would disable them all probably.
