I assume space is what dodge is bound to on keyboard. In which case you're playing the game wrong. Which is quite common. Well, Asylum combat is more basic compared to the sequels, but it still applies. You're not supposed to be spamming dodge, because dodge does nothing beside getting you out of harm's way. Dodging doesn't counter enemies (outside of the enemy types that are specifically supposed to be countered by dodging). You're supposed to counter every enemy attack accordingly to actually start doing damage. In fact you're not supposed to be spamming any move, dodge or otherwise. You're supposed to build up your combo meter, to make your moves stronger and faster. You need to utilize both defensive counters and your own attacks, because the latter do much more damage than the former. Plus, you're supposed to use your takedowns, gadgets and other moves, when dealing with enemies. BamHam combat is not like Souls, where you just dodge and attack. It's a little closer to stylish action games like DMC, because just getting through the combat encounter isn't the main priority. It's to keep the combo chain going and getting higher score multiplier.
