A soulslike that reaches the heights of the genre's titans created by FromSoft, featuring a spectacle of engaging level design, world design, and bossfights; Lies of P is a game with an intriguing narrative that is more directly delivered than its souls counterparts (a rarity for souls games outside of Sekiro), a beautiful soundtrack (seriously - it's great and worth the cost alone), captivating art direction alongside shockingly well optimised performance. On top of all of this, Lies of P boasts several interesting mechanical systems including weapon crafting, new content up to NG++, etc..

A lot of initial issues people mention such as attacks relying heavily on timings, build balance, locking a good feeling dodge behind a perk have all been addressed by updates since launch. The only reasons I can think that you might not want to buy this game is if you (a) aren't a fan of the genre or (b) prefer complex interconnected level design compared to the relatively linear offering on display here (though in my opinion its use in Lies of P is actually quite refreshing).
