Oh yeah, it's definitely more of an atmosphere than a gameplay game. I know people say "gameplay first!" with a lot of things, but that's not the case with horror games. Think of it as an experience, rather than an action game. =P
I've been remembering what it was like to play it, and it was definitely very hard to get into. You should force yourself through the first few guys (you'll see what I mean..) before you judge the game, as you might be doing yourself a favour.
