Games that have a good Merle combat system might be something for you. I would think of mordhau, which has a quite complex and challenging fighting system. However, its quite hard to get into it, since its almost dead.
I haven’t played Mordhau but based on what I’ve seen of gameplay it has a different issue I have with first person melee, which is that you have no perception of reach. If you can’t identify how far you or your opponents can attack then the gameplay turns into sticking your face in your opponents face and I find that pretty annoying. I guess I’m kinda picky about my melee combat.
You can learn to judge reach in Mordhau, though what you’re describing is a fundamental problem in video games. Unfortunately, like Chivalry before it, Mordhau devolved into ultra-high skill cap animation manipulation. Still, it has the best, highest fidelity melee combat ever, making games like for honor look and feel like trash. It’s almost impossible to enjoy any other melee combat games/RPGs after experiencing Mordhau.
