It's definitely intriguing. LiS left me with a ton of questions, mostly about the origins of Max's power, if she's the only one, etc. I can say that Dontnod is still good at painting a picture worth a thousand words - I kind of went back and forth with Chris' dad for a bit until it became abundantly clear what kind of person he is.
My initial reaction is, "That's the most OP power you can have," but in retrospect, time manipulation is pretty OP too. I guess it'll depend on how it's portrayed. I wonder if he'll meet Max, or if LiS3 will be a supergroup.
I really enjoyed this little Life Is Strange experience. I thought the character work was actually pretty great. I'm very curious how this'll lead into Life Is Strange 2. It's hard for me to imagine playing as a young kid for the full sequel. I saw a theory that Chris doesn't actually have powers, that it was the older neighbor (Stephen's brother/son? I'm not sure if Stephen is the young neighbor boy or his dad.) at the end who saves Chris, and that he's the main character of the full game. Makes a lot of sense to me.
I've seen arguments that LiS was basically a dream Max had in the bathroom, going through a whole life-flashing-before-eyes thing. That's definitely up for debate and interpretation, but I think that same sort of thing could be applied: either this is real, or this is some dissociative episode Chris has, and will continue to have. I predict fairly overt and obvious allusions to PTSD.
