The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated for its focus on exploration, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues this tradition with its expansive open-world. 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 that has become a staple in several *Assassin's Creed* titles, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is always clearly marked on your map, making it easy to navigate and preventing you from getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage more deeply with the game's world. For example, if you're tasked with finding an NPC, you'll have to rely on the clues and information provided within the game to track them down. This can involve piecing together additional clues or exploring different areas to discover your next move. Guided Exploration mode simplifies this process by directly pointing you towards your objective, eliminating the need for extensive investigation.
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 immerse yourself in the story without the risk of getting stuck, turning on Guided Exploration can be a smart choice.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward and can be done at any time during your gameplay. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. Here, you'll find the option to toggle Guided Exploration on or off, allowing you to tailor your experience as you see fit.
