Any games out there with engaging sword fighting mechanics? Or melee combat in general?
I've probably played most of the obvious ones like Die by the Sword, Blade of Darkness, Jedi Knight, Mount and Blade, Demons' Souls, DMC series, Bushido Blade.
Bit simpler than the above but maybe Zeno Clash? solid melee system though often fist-fights.
Mount & Blade / Warband are pretty good as well once you figure out the mechanics, will seem a bit stiff due to animations however.
EDIT: GoG should have Severance and the older Die By The Sword if I remember correctly, Rune was also pretty good to name sole older games, DBTS was great though back then and had a very interesting combat mechanic, plus dismemberment and similar.
Definitely play Rune if you haven't. That game was just epic at its time. I played it this year again and I still loved it. Severance was even better, I always waited for a sequel to it or a spin-off or a spiritual sequel or something, but it didn't happen . Die by the Sword was very good, but had some problems. Dark Messiah is a must-play. Zeno Clash is pretty good too, shame I didn't finished it and lost my savegames. I don't really know what other games to mention other than the already mentioned ones. There are pretty few games with a good melee combat system.
Edit: Yeah, Oni was so great too, completely forgot about it. The thing is it doesn't have melee weapons combat from what I remember, just simple melee combat.
