Resident Evil utilizes 'tank controls,' which can feel clunky at first but become second nature. Master them to avoid unnecessary damage. The D-pad or analog stick moves your character relative to their facing direction. Pressing 'Up' moves forward, 'Down' moves backward, and 'Left'/'Right' rotates your character. The 'X' button (PlayStation) or 'A' button (Saturn) is your action button, used for opening doors, examining objects, and interacting with the environment. The 'Square' button (PlayStation) or 'B' button (Saturn) is used to ready your weapon, and 'Circle' (PlayStation) or 'C' (Saturn) fires it. The 'Triangle' button (PlayStation) or 'X' button (Saturn) opens your inventory. Practice these movements in a safe area to get comfortable before facing any threats.
