Yes. In terms of story and atmosphere they do a fantastic job of creating something eerie and despairing. Pretty consistent through the series (1-3, 2 in particular, are widely considered the best in that regard, though 4-5 aren't bad at all).
They mostly play similar to the old Resident Evil games (tank controls) but you switch to first person to take photographs of the ghosts for combat. Typically you want to time it to get them just before they attack to stun them, knock them back and do massive damage. Of course, ghosts are trickier than zombies...they can vanish and reappear at a different spot in the current room or spend some time hidden in the walls making you paranoid where they're approaching from. Locations with narrow halls/corridors are pretty tense due to this.
You're also lowkey playing Pokemon Snap on the side. Occasionally you'll see or sense something off in a location, with some quickness you can snap up a photo of ghosts just doing their thing (hinting at their identity or fate) before they disappear. Again, really adds to the atmosphere.
