If you like action-adventures, the paranormal and strong audiovisuals, absolutely. If character development of the protagonist is important to you, definitely not. The storytelling is solid otherwise, though.
But the sound and visual design work just so well to create this atmosphere or mood that let me immerse deeply but that also let me sigh in relief when I quit the game. It gave me this almost constant sense of dread even though it’s not terrifying like a horror game at all (and I really hate horror games or movies) that fit the story so well. It’s hard to describe, it’s weirdly different but not in a bad way.
If you have the HW power, I recommend playing with RT but without DLSS. Otherwise with RT and DLSS. DLSS does introduce some weird kind of artifacts or such sometimes. Not bad, just better without if you can.
Edit: I guess if you’re looking for epic quests, this might also not be the right game - heck, it’s hard to describe or say what’s good or bad about this game, it’s all kind of intertwined. All I can say that I think the package is an excellent game made with a lot of attention to detail. And with that unnerving sound design, that I kinda hate to endure, but love how well it’s made and fits the game.
I always thought of control as “that tech demo game with DLSS”. It’s actually a good game?
Control is pretty great.

I’ll add on that the little notes, journals, and audio files you find throughout the game are some excellent world building.

Except of course the Ashtray Maze, which is undeniably epic
