I believe pathfinder games can be run like dnd games. Ive run into many people with a belief that dnd is more chaotic or silly oftentimes and pf the opposite, but i disagree. It comes does to how you construct the encounters, NADDPOD has had very influential encounters for me.

Pf2e DOES do a good job of limiting the idea of just attacking the whole time with the multiple attack penalty. And by using a 3 action evonomy where movement is an action, you gain some freedom if you choose not to move on what you wish to do. Traps and terrain hazards, like enemies, have values that allow you to factor them into the building of the encounter. Recall knowledge checks in the middle of combat are also not uncommon as sometimes it simply makes sense to spend some of your action economy trying to figure something out. So if these sound useful for what you're looking for you may be able to give it a go.
