This happened to me but with the God of War Valhalla DLC. Like I know the game is not that hard but there is a natural progression through the game of unlocking new skills and weapons. The DLC starts you off with everything unlocked and there are so many combo moves, it doesn't help that you have to really conserve health through the whole thing.
My golden rule for Valhalla: always upgrade stats first, weapons second, perks third.
