Pros
Pro Free chapter available
The first 20% (roughly) of the game is free to try to see if you like it or how well it runs on your machine. Steam will give refunds for games that you didn't like it or had trouble with anyway (as long as you played less than 2 hours of it), but this saves the hassle of refunding, as well as the annoying 2 hour mental timer in your head that you'd be weary of.
Pro Attention to detail
Life Is Strange has quite a bit of attention to detail compared to some other games of the same genre. It has a lot of details that the player can interact with (interact meaning examine or talk to, not anything physics-based), things which frequently trigger audible dialogue narrated by the protagonist. It adds to the atmosphere of the game.
Cons
Con There is no tree-like progress with regards to plot
The main plot is entirely linear, and the choices you make only affect side things, details, and things like that. This is almost a spoiler, but it is important for people to not get false expectations. Regardless, the game does a very great job at making it SEEM as though decisions change the story, which is perhaps misleading, but probably immerses the player more. There is more than one ending, but only in a very limited sense.
