Based on a number of factors, Lies of P should take you anywhere between 25 to 40 hours to complete.

I can tell you personally that my save file when all was said and done was roughly 38 hours. I’m no slouch when it comes to a Souls game either.

This kind of question will always boil down to how much interest you have in the game outside of the main story, your skill level, and other variables. I completed the whole story and ticked off many side quests from finding Elysion Boulevard 221b to finding the wine for the Old Lady.

Souls experts who are masters of parrying and understanding builds and mechanics should definitely fall closer to the 25-hour end of the spectrum. Whereas others, like myself, may struggle against certain bosses such as the King of Puppets and Laxasia the Complete.
