Poe 1 vs Poe 2

I don't know if it's just me but I can't play poe 2 for long compared to poe 1 because I don't feel like I'm making much progress, the campaign is quite repetitive. I still quite enjoy poe 2 but not as much as the first one and also I'm not a big fan of the combat and having to use more than one ability. I don't like the idea of dodge roll, it reminds me more of elden ring, I prefer the janky combat in poe 1. I like the power fantasy aspect of poe 1 that is not as apparent in poe 2. But I just want to hear yall's opinion on this topic.
