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

IMO, yes. When I want a modern D&D-type game (i.e., heroic high fantasy, somewhat crunchy, focused on set piece encounters) I'd reach for PF2e over D&D5e any day. It works as intended, give players more interesting choices, it's way easier to GM, and despite seeming way crunchier at first blush, the rules are much smoother in play. Plus, all the rules are available for free online, with the express permission of Paizo. It's ultimately a matter of personal preference, so you may or may not like it, but I'm at least confident saying it's a well-made system that's worth checking out.

Like StarPupil said, there's a new revision coming out soon, so I'd wait until then. It's still 2e, and will still be compatible with everything, but they're making some minor tweaks, including some errata, and scrubbing any little bits that might still depend on the OGL. If you like PDFs (which Paizo actually makes and sells, unlike 5e!), you can also keep an eye out for Humble Bundles. There are occasionally some great Pathfinder 2e bundles, which tend to include the core rulebooks and a ton of other stuff, including full adventure paths.
