About to play for the first time, any tips/advice?

Hello! I recently got obsessed with the Remedy Universe and played a lot of Alan Wake and saw Alan Wake II all the way through the end. I've also done a ton of research on the franchise and all it's games (I never mind spoilers). I'm in love with this team's games so naturally Control is my next venture. I'm gonna start it soon but was wondering if yall had any advice for me on how best to play the game. I know it has no difficulty settings (which worries me, as I always play on easy and have heard this game can be pretty difficult at times). I've heard that it's best to play aggressively, but I've also heard that cover is important which sounds like a defensive playstyle, so I'm a little confused there. So yeah, any advice or tips for a new Control player? I'd appreciate any help! Thank you!
