The premise-a dark god bound to the earth attempting to force his way back to power-is decent enough, but the execution falls flat. Unfortunately, it doesn't really lead us in a more interesting direction either. At least Lords of the Fallen doesn't take that easy a route. Elves and dwarves because that's what we've come to expect from decades of ripping off Tolkien. But far too often what we get instead is hyper-generic.
