Looking for third-person games with good melee combat

[Minuano]

I already played all the Platinum games, DMC games, Dark Souls games, Nioh, Monster Hunter World and Dragon's Dogma. On the simpler side, I played the Arkham games, the Middle-earth games, Sleeping Dogs and the Warriors games.

I'm looking for more games with good melee combat, but I feel like I played all the halfway decent ones already.

I'd say Skyrim or the elder scrolls online

The combat in "Kingdoms of Amalur" is really fun. Only downside is that the game is a bit too easy depending on your build and skills.

Mount and Blade Warband is good especially in FPV

Bump

I was hoping if I could get any other recommendations.

ok

You already have over 700 games hard to reccomend many more.
Maybe you have exhausted the offerings and need to try some other genre?
What would incourage that feeling of cant wait to play it?
Multiple player games like The Forest?
Sci fi. Outer space
Star Citizen is one of the best and most amazing games I have had a look into.

The Surge. It's like dark souls but with a sci-fi theme.

No, it requires Windows 7 or above.

Also it is available to buy and play on Epic store right now.

Thanks, Ahen does look pretty cool, but the Epic Store doesn't have regional pricing. It's way too expensive. I'll keep an eye on it when it comes out on Steam though.

I made that other thread Yesterday asking about games to play while listening to podcasts, saying that I was specifically for 3D action games, and 90% of the responses weren't that. They were along the lines of EuroTruck Simulator and other games they said were good specifically because they had no action. Most there weren't answering my question, they were just listing things they liked.

I've played 2D Metroidvanias, and Civilization, and Pokémon, and Harvest Moon, etc. a lot. With and without a podcast in the background. Which is why now I don't feel like playing something so slow. I wanted something more fast-paced and action-based right now. And since I've had my fill of sidescrollers at the moment, been playing Destiny 2 for months so it's the same for FPS games, and was never a big fan of Third-Person or Top-Down shooters, or of sports or racers, I figured 3D Melee Action is what I was looking for. It's what would be perfect for me at this moment. I just listed the games I've gone through because I've played them too much already, and figured playing something new in that genre was in order. And I made this new thread so as to not waste people's time having them recommend me games I probably wouldn't want.

I know I hate that too when people recommend me completely irrelevant games from what I ask, happens to me all the time.

Anyway you can play Sekiro, Code Vein (better move variety and flashier than Dark Souls), God Eater, you can also play Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 and 3 from the PS3 emulator RPCS3, with the PS2 emulator PCSX2 you can also play Onimusha games, Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix (a little easy so play it on Proud or Critical Mode for better experience, the end game bosses are simply a joy to fight them compared to most other games). You can also play God Of War 1 and 2 in PCSX2 and God Of War 2018 if you have a PS4, and last but not least you have Darksiders for PC, play 1 and 2 because the third one is garbage and completely raped the franchise. Good gaming!

These 2 games are f2p and both have really good melee characters.

1. Path of Exile
2. Age of Conan

#1, the KING of punchy, cinematic, split second and hard hitting, satisfying melee action:

A B S O L V E R

The others have been listed already but this game is, in my opinion, the watershed moment on how 'fighting' should feel in a third person game that involves punching, kicking use of swords, and endless custom variety of ways to re-arrange and invent how you decide to fight- and then decide to either stick to PVE, or, if you're wise, join in on the greatest and most underrated 3D 'arena' fighting game (really, in its own class/genre here), that has ever existed. To miss out on Absolver would simply be to miss one of the best melee combat systems that has ever been created in video games.
