A few come to mind:


Alien Isolation: I generally don't like first person games (just a personal preference) but I'm a HUGE fan of Alien-related media and horror games. After reading all the hype, I had to give a chance. I'm very glad I did. Even though I was struggling with it at the start, I slowly came to understand it and the way the Alien behaved. Funny thing, I almost always tend to feel like if they let me play a first person game in third person that it would be an improvement but not this time. The limitations of the perspective really enhance the terror of the experience.  

Kingdom Come Deliverance: Another first person game! I'm really into medieval settings and I've never played a "realistic" medieval sim so despite my preferences, I bought it. The first part of the game was a bit of a struggle. I didn't understand much of the combat and the whole experience felt super limited. I began to think I had wasted my money but then the opening, super-scripted part of the story ends and the game lets you free on its world. That's when things clicked for me and I had a really good time. It's not a perfect experience mind you! (using the bow sucks!) but if you give it a chance, you might really enjoy it.


Resident Evil 7: Starting to see a pattern here? I've been a massive RE fan for the longest time (currently going through RE3 again!) but when they announced this game was gonna be in FP, I had some real reservations about playing it. My wife ended up buying it for me so then I really had no choice but to give it a shot lol. Overall, the game is pretty solid. Not in my top 5 in the series and the story has some real issues/plotholes but for the most part, I enjoyed it and I would play it again.

You'd think after these three I'd totally change my mind but I'm still a little hesitant about first person. I just really prefer the third person perspective. Having said that, I've opened my mind to trying stuff in FP if I really dig the concept and the reviews are good!
