In contrast to what I said, while combat in Divinity 2 wasn't OMGSUPARFANTASTIC GOTY material, it's melee system definitely was able to keep me entertained compared to Oblivion/ Beth's Fallout, where melee combat basically devolved to back pedal + mouse spam-and-maybe-a-bit-of-stimpak-spamming-because enemies-won't-stop-trying-to-shoot-my-head-off-with-peashooters. That being said, I still had fun with the games.
It all comes down to what you find to be entertaining, really, and I for one, am easily entertained. Divinity 2 at high levels really gave me the delicious feeling of trampling the mooks under my well-polished plated boots and I loved it(seriously, I LOVE melee in this game). Bethesda's FO series let me punch my enemy's heads off/turn them into scarlet mist even though I just punched him in the knee and I love it. Game X gave me the feeling of X and I X it, that sort of thing. But if you're looking for serious combat, with strategies/tactics/awareness and all that jazz. I'd recommend playing old school shooters like Quake Live Arena, because that's as good as it gets.
