At least at low levels. Every combat so far was absolutely carried by our parties fighter just beating the enemies into a pulp :)

Is PF2e worth picking up? Our group has been using 5e (mostly as dndbeyond is convenient) for our past couple campaigns.
I personally think so. It is in many ways similar to 5e but a bit denser on rules. It feels like the designers really wanted to make sure that there were no weird corner cases. And while there is a lot of them, the rules all seem very logical and consistent. So when playing it feels a bit more "mechanical" or "game-y" but also less wonky than 5e can be. It is a somwhat different experience than 5e and the rules are available for free at Archive of Nethys. But if you should pick it up really depends on whether your group is unsatisfied with DnD or itching for something new. Our group changed over after trying a one shot and because our DM was getting a bit bored with 5e.
