Baelin's Route: An Epic NPC Man Adventure

Pleasure for all gaming nerds! A fun adventure game of the NPC Baelin, who is a classic fisherman side character. But one day he "wakes up" from his daily routine and starts living the game story to the fullest. The film features incredibly beautiful New Zealand locations, very nice make-up effects and visuals that even feature films would not be ashamed of, fun characters (we get to see orcs, frontiersmen, side characters in the town...) and, most importantly, a large number of references to game themes that can entertain the experienced eye. In short, a very good one-off from which fun and originality flow out in a stream, and in general the directors' entire output of great gaming mini-movies actually makes me quite tempted to kill my spare moments.

Warning: This review is purely a subjective matter of an individual who has spent many years in the world of World of Warcraft. Viva La Dirt League are a group of enthusiasts who make fun of players, game worlds (especially their shortcomings), and themselves. They are really good at it. Maybe even a viewer who has never played online games can enjoy their ultra-short works, but certainly not as much as us, semi-professionals. This team simply knows what they're doing, so I regularly exercise my diaphragm while watching their creations, but Baelin's Route is quite different. Not only in terms of its length, but also because it had a more professional vibe. Once again, I had plenty of opportunities to burst out laughing, but at certain moments, it all had an unexpected depth that I didn't expect from these guys. I do not recommend it for film fans, but it is a must-watch for online game players. / Lesson learned: Treat NPCs nicely, you never know... (10.04.2022)
