It was ok, but it had some niggles.
But none of the reasons you were saying. Tank controls really do hold this back. You don't need it at all times though, just when combat is in focus.

Really though, they might need to look more at Amnesia the dark descent something for first person/over the shoulder horror. Amnesia arguably revived this form of horror in 2010ish. Penumbra was there, but Amnesia was the one that caught wind.
In those games you have over the shoulder stuff, but no combat ability and it just werks.
