The combat in There's No Light involves... well, hitting people until they stop moving. Enemies indicate whether their attack will be interruptable or not. It doesn't always work - dogs always seem to be able to strike you before you interrupt - and it's all kinda boring even if you're trying to fill the Rage meter (hitting inanimate objects in the environment is explicitly stated to help) to unleash a stronger boring attack. There's also something about weapon breaking, but in all my flailing, I only managed to do it once.
