Personally I much preferred Lies of P.
Lords of the Fallen is sitting at 55% positive reviews on Steam. Lies of P is sitting at a nice comfortable 89% positive reviews.
Lords of the Fallen had a pretty troubled development cycle (changing studios 3 times) and it has some problems.
SSDs have gotten so cheap and fast recently.
Most games now assume you have one. Games are generally built around having minimal or even no loading screens. So fast storage is a must.
