The *Assassin’s Creed* series is renowned for its expansive open-world exploration, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues this tradition. If you're considering using the Guided Exploration mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, here's what you should know.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained
Guided Exploration mode, a feature familiar to fans of the *Assassin’s Creed* series, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode marks your next quest objective on the map, ensuring you always know where to go and eliminating the risk of getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage in more exploration and investigation to determine your next steps. For example, if you're tasked with finding an NPC, you'll have to use the clues and information at your disposal to track them down or search for additional leads to guide you to your goal. Guided Exploration simplifies this process by directly pointing you to your objective, bypassing the need for extensive detective work.
Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?
The decision to use Guided Exploration mode is entirely personal. From my perspective, the investigative elements in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* don't significantly enhance the gameplay experience. If you prefer to focus on the story without the risk of getting stuck, turning on Guided Exploration is a good choice.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
You can toggle Guided Exploration on or off at any time. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and go to the Gameplay section. Here, you can switch Guided Exploration mode on or off as needed.
