Resident Evil: Project W

Among all the DLCs that Dead by Daylight has in its library, Resident Evil Project W has something really different about it. I don't know if it's because this is the first DLC that is a direct 'sequel' to the previous Resident Evil DLC that introduced Jill Valentine, everyone's favorite S.T.A.R.S agent and everyone's favorite protagonist of the Resident Evil series, Leon Kennedy.

Having Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers in the survivor roster along with previous survivors from the first DLC and also with additional legendary skins can really turn Dead by Daylight into a game that is 'pretty much' themed around the Resident Evil series. It's like Resident Evil Resistance - but better.

Aside from the characters, we also have two 'shades' of the Raccoon City map which was really needed to make this map playable for everyone (more or less) Maybe not exactly playable, but more... enjoyable.

And, of course, the killer himself.... Albert Damn Wesker. As a Resident Evil player who started his journey with Resident Evil 7 in 2017, I never knew much about Wesker. This, on the other hand, changed with the playthrough of Resident Evil 2 whose remake came out in 2019. After a brief analysis of the entire Resident Evil timeline, I realized what a great character Albert Wesker is, and what a great addition Wesker turned out to be when he hit the DBD's PTB servers.

Putting aside all sorts of bugs that definitely lower the enjoyement of the game with Wesker as well as against him, Wesker is probably the best 'reproduced' killer from any license as far as the theme is concerned. With his voicelines, the truly unexpected Memento Mori, and power that is centred around the Uroboros? It is simply extraordinary.

If I were to recommend someone Project W between Resident Evil's First DLC, I would probably recommend Project W to them because of how well this chapter came out when it comes to keeping the theme of the Resident Evil franchise.
