It's still mostly a spells-per-day game, right? You probably don't lose the first fight of the day because you can go nova
It's been really interesting playing Vampire with a person who's only ever played DND. We keep telling him "you can use your cool powers". He keeps thinking it's like a special move to save for a big encounter. No, you don't have to come up with an elaborate scheme to get past the bouncer. You can just Dominate him. It's a big shift in mind set!
Personally I hate the "save your cool powers for later" mode of play. I think Pathfinder 2e is less of that, but not free of it?
I like the "toolbox", limited-resources mode of play from DnD but only if you're actually playing one-shot adventures, where every get-together is one day, you can't rest mid-session, and if you don't get through the dungeon you aren't allowed to continue next time without encounters restocking.
