Pro Feature priorities are chosen by the community
The Game Creators team frequent the forums and ask the community for feeback and suggestions both there and via an open poll on the website. They have a great history of reading suggestions, viewing screenshots, and generally working with the community.
Pro Easy to use own custom assets
An insane amount of assets come with the core program, including soldiers, mutant creatures, cyborgs, and even Nazi zombies. You start out with an ample supply of guns, ammunition, buildings, and odd props to scatter across your game world. I haven't seen anything else come with so much out of the box and they just recently added to it. I believe the free expansion alone was 2.5 GB of assets.
Cons
Con Windows-only
In 2017, having a game which is inherently Windows-only, is a significant disadvantage.
Con No importing of fbx and other format characters yet
Will be added in the future.
Con Limited to only a few genres
In its current state the engine is capable of only making games in the FPS, third person and top down genre. Although there are plans to branch out, they may be a way off.

Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con In beta
FPSCR is currently a beta product with features potentially important to a specific project still in the roadmap. Obviously this is expected of a beta product, and new features are constantly being added, but should be taken into consideration when choosing a game engine for a game right now. To see what's currently implemented, being implemented and in the roadmap go here.
