It strikes a good balance between the tension building atmosphere and the occasional jump scares. However the control is infuriating. Mouse and keyboard is floaty, very difficult to point where you actually intend to point. And moving to controller not only didn't fix the problem, but it introduced some more of it's own, like inverted axis. But the inverted axis flips if you are aiming, so it's not a simple matter of just turning it on and being done with it.

I've watched a friend play through some of the game, obviously not the full play through, but I've seen enough that I know I want to continue playing. I'm just not entirely sure I can with the controls the way they are. I might keep playing and see if I eventually just naturally get used to it and start compensating for it.

Update (11/05/2014): I've found a work-around for the terrible / floaty controls, and it is now pretty playable with keyboard & mouse. Basically you turn off v-sync from the in-game options, but turn it on for the game (or globally I suppose) in your graphics card control panel. Why that would be the case, I don't know (you would think v-sync would be v-sync whether from in-game or GPU control panel), but making that change practically eliminated all the floaty mouse/cursor problems I was having.
