... do you relearn it and start from your last save, or delete the save and start over from the beginning?
I've got several games for the PS4 and Switch that I haven't played in a year or two, and I think I just need to start over.

I usually start over if I take an extended hiatus from a game.

Depends on the game.  I'd it's story heavy I'll usually restart. If not, I usually will pick up where I left off, though the learning curve can be a bit steep.

Risk in some variations and Settlers, but usually because I'm teaching others.

I usually start a new game but keep the old save file if possible.  That way I can relearn using the new game and once up to speed can load up the old save file and continue without totally screwing things up.

I took a break from counter strike.  Came back and within a few games there i am trying to defuse a bomb, drew a blank on which key did that.  

On a related note.  Once fell asleep while waiting on the start of a WOT game.  Wook up at the very end.  I was the last tank left and parked on the spawn of course.  A dude is rolling up, thinks I'm AFK.  He's positioning his tank to park nose to nose with my tank, after which I assume he will shoot.  The instant he makes contact, I fire and destroy him.  CSB

My biggest problem is changing from PC to console and back.
Trying to remember the controls from toggle to keyboard is a bugger.

One of my big complaints as far as muscle memory is Cyberpunk2077, which uses the F key rather than the E key as the action button.
I’ve died the savage death due to that!

I game to relax, so most of the time I'm kicked back in a comfy chair.

I'll use mouse and keyboard for stuff where a controller isn't practical (competitive FPS, precision survival or crafting games, RTS etc) and my cockpits for sims, but for RPGs, casual stuff and single-player FPSs a controller is much better for me.

I played Valorant on controller for a couple months. Was hard as hell but still fun.
