This guy breaks down just how bad the layout of the new PHB is. The cross referencing is non-existent and the subsections seem to go in the order someone thought of them. I'm sadly unsurprised that they've not improved on any of these problems which existed in the original 5e PHB.

And 4 first party monster books with so many dragons.

What it's really lacking is dungeons.

TBF, even in Dungeons & Dragons, there's an ironic deficit of actual dungeons. Abattoirs, oubliettes, catacombs, sewers, and even a largely unmapped cavernous subterranean realm? Checkity check check, check. Dungeons? A handful at best in nearly half a century of content production. 🤷🏽‍♂️ (It's almost like the racist, sexist, insular founding members were a loose group of multi-flavored trogs, give or take. 🤪)

And the dragons are actually awesome in PF2e. Not just colour coded. They have dragons that map onto different primordial concepts like the 4 kinds of magic, different outer planes like Heaven and Hell, etc.
