I've played 'til chapter 9 in Normal. Everything is pretty straight-forward. You MUST evade/dodge to activate witch-time or you won't be succesful in combat, after that you follow through with any simple combination. It's button-mashing. Yes, there's a lot of variety of moves and whatnot, but you're esentially doing the same thing in every fight and it's not like the game has much of anything different to offer besides that.
