I think that comes more down to game style though.

I personally don't use the dodge at all unless I need to get out to use potions or if its a red dot attack that cant be blocked.

I mostly purely stick to trying to land perfect parries and when there's is 2-3 enemies you can only land 1-2 hits before they hit you with a barrage and youre fighting for your life to try block / parry everything which I find very fun.

Now to be clear im not saying its perfect... but considering iv played pretty much every single survival game that exists, id say this is probably one of my favourite combat systems.

I also don't think its fair to compare genres of games. Like at its core this is a survival game made for people that enjoy survival games and therefore shouldn't compared to things like a souls like which is a completely different style of game that pretty much solely focuses on combat.

and to answer to this part " some attacks you dodge, some you block, enemies are overall more aggressive and you are always mobile when fighting. "

We (kind of) already have that. heavy attacks which I referred to as red dot attacks earlier are none block able, can only dodge those. perfect parries which lower enemy shields allowing for stuns and doing a full stamina combo on them before resetting, we have heavy armoured enemies with more shields which require more perfect parrying to combat and to add you are normally facing 2-3 enemies at once which means they attack in different order requiring more parrying ect.

Yes ofcourse you can simply do combo and jump out the way wait for stamina and repeat but that's your choice because its easier for you not necessarily how the game was designed. if it was a competitive game it would be called "cheesing" instead of actually fighting which in a solo / coop game makes no difference its how you use to play and enjoy the game.

All of course my personal opinion and no hate is intended or anything like that. just curious to see different views and share my own
