Resident Evil - Help me Obi Wan Kenobi...

Play as Jill as it's basically easy mode. You get 8 inventory slots which is much more manageable.

Backtracking is basically part of the game. You have pick and choose which areas you need to make safe and plan your routes.

I'd leave as many inventory slots free. Usually no point carrying ink ribbons as you mostly get ink ribbons from each typewriter or find more.

Also no point carrying puzzle items until you need them. Keys sometimes if you know where you are going.

The knife is worthless once you get a gun.

You don't have enough ammo to kill all enemies so you have to decide where is important to make safe.

The remake however adds an extra element... The crimson heads. So a body isn't safe unless it's been decapitated or burned.

It's all about resource management and planning.

When the enemies get tougher you'll want to start toting a shotgun and it's also handy to have to take out a zombies head with a upwards pointed shot.

Not worth carrying stuff in case you need it. Sometimes you will find items that aren't needed until the end game.

Also remember to check some items in the inventory. The game is sneaky as some puzzle items you won't get unless you check them for clues like opening up a book to get a hidden item inside.

How I play the game is I load up with a pistol and ammo taking up one slot. A fully loaded shotgun sometimes just in case. Then I go out of the safe room and explore as much as I can. When my inventory is full or I'm out of supplies I make my way back to save point. Then next journey if I've come across locked doors or puzzles I head out with the items I need. Rinse and repeat. You eventually get to a shortcut or new safe room.

Also in remake it's important to go on body burning runs as well!

Basically the game is sort of like a wizardry style dungeon crawler. You keep pushing as far as you can go before making a retreat. Head back in better prepared and push a little further. Eventually you reach a new milestone and can explore new areas from there.

Forgot to say enemies do stay dead once killed. No respawning. So if you waste ammo on one best to put them down for good.

Anyway take your time. You can't blast through the game in one push. And backtracking isn't so bad when resident evil safe room music is always incredible

You'll get a hip flask you can fill with petrol. So you need that and a lighter.
