This is like asking if you should buy GTA 5 or Watch Dogs.
Sekiro is the original Product other products wanna be like.
And even tho Lies of P is fine its still far away from Sekiro.

lies of p is a souls like that tries to replicate some sekiro mechanics. sekiro is its own thing and its pure goodness

lies of p parrying is so good

Both mate, go for it.
Lies of P is fantastic, love the setting, the music, weapon customisation. It's fantastic.
I just started Sekiro today and i must say i'm in love. I can't for the life of me parry successfully most times but in this game, being "late" to parry works for me. This combat just seems to work for me. Fast and flowing *chef's kiss*

Lies of P if you want satisfying parrying, Sekiro if you want easy parrying

sekiro so you can master the hardest fights and eventually try fighting them deathless

As far as I know Lies of P reward more remembering (that's what I read also how I felt when I played the Demo)

For explaining better, Sekiro's enemies have better body language, that makes it so their movement are more fluid and you can play on both reaction and knowledge

Instead in Lies of P the enemies attack quickly and "innaturally" (in reality, considering the setting, we can actually consider it natural since we're basically fighting machines)

So in the end we can consider the two games two experiences alike.

If I have to talk about my personal taste I prefer playing on reaction rather than memory (i.e. I prefer Sekiro's gameplay). Also, Sekiro has a rhythym aspect that makes it feel like almost like a real sword duel where being aggressive is highly recommended

Lies of P world and atmosphere is good, but Sekiro has the better combat and bosses imo. The weapon customization isn't really all that flashy in Lies of P realistically. Play both, but play Sekiro first.

I'm having a hard time deciding which one to buy because they're both on sale and both look really interesting. I like Lies of P's customization of the weapons with the handles and such, I like Sekiro's parrying and it's boss rush which is something that isn't in other souls games.
Edit: Got Sekiro and I'm enjoying the hell out of it

bro, i have both. but you skipping sekiro, is like a mistake worse than death. this is a game above all others. pinnacle of video entertainment

Both are good games, Lies of P is more of a traditional soulslike though.

Get both because you'll eventually beat one and you'll want another.

Both. When you finish Sekiro get Lies of P.

Want Cool Ninja stuff? = Get Sekiro.

Want Bloodborne like visuals? = Get Lies of P

Want amazing games? = Get both
