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 a detailed guide to help you make the most of your experience.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained
Guided Exploration mode, a familiar feature in 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 preventing you from getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, you're tasked with more hands-on exploration and investigation. For example, if you're on a quest to track down an NPC, you'll need to use the clues and information provided to deduce their location or search for additional hints to guide you to your objective.
In contrast, Guided Exploration mode simplifies this process by directly pointing you to your next step, eliminating the need for extensive searching.
Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?
The choice 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 immerse yourself in the story without the risk of getting stuck, turning on Guided Exploration is a good choice.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward. At any time during gameplay, pause the game and navigate to the menu. From there, go to the Gameplay section and toggle the Guided Exploration mode on or off as you see fit.
