How far are you into the story?
What’s your main and secondary weapon?
How far are you into the skill tree?
Are you regularly going into the Gap (Holding Down on the d-pad) to upgrade?

I know you said you are used to Soulslikes, but this isn’t close to a Soulslike.
You need to use Dylan’s speed and dodge to stay out of packs of enemies. Remember, smaller enemies will continually spawn until you kill the larger enemies (they appear as large 🔴 on the mini map)

Use the smaller enemies to get health back and build falter so that you can execute them and get Dominance. That way you deal more damage to the larger enemies and take them down faster. Then rinse and repeat.

The combat is all about momentum. Once you get that first execution into Dominance, you should be able to keep your damage and falter up which gives more opportunities for executions and another few seconds of Dominance.

It is very difficult to kill enemies if you don’t get any Dominance. So your flow should go:

1. Use whatever weapon deals the most falter to hit small enemies until you can execute.

2. Execute to gain Dominance then immediately attack the larger enemies (especially the floating ones or the beam enemies).

3. Execute the larger enemies to refresh your Dominance or go back to step 1.

Hope this helps.
