If you want excellent first person melee combat definitely give Mordhau a try. Mount and Blade Bannerlord is also solid, however I wouldn't recommend picking it up now while it's still in beta. Also hopefully Chivalry 2 turns out good.
I think melee combat in general basically has 3 genres to be good: grounded medieval style combat like above, combo multiplier games like Batman Arkham, or arcade style fighting games. All these AAA games which try to be everything end up falling through the cracks of meh. With some exceptions though; I think Overwatch has great uses of melee.
