I have a general rule for games.. that if don't like the first hour (heck even 30-40mins), its not really worth continuing playing anymore. Control doesn't suddenly change after 4 hours of gameplay so I would just skip and move on.
If you do continue.. It does get better the further in but not drastically. Gameplay is pretty fun once you unlock more late abilities, and some of the best/most fun ones ones come nearing the end of the game. Story wise.. Control for me, has the weakest story Remedy has made. As in its kinda bland and generic, almost like something that you'd find from a SyFy show. Though if you like Remedy games you might appreciate the tie ins and Easter eggs in there. It might be worth sticking with if you liked Alan Wake as its set in the same universe and could enhance the experience when playing its upcoming sequel.
