The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated 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 familiar feature in many *Assassin’s Creed* titles, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is always marked on your map, guiding you directly to where you need to go and preventing you from getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage more deeply with the game's world, using clues and information to track down NPCs or uncover your next steps. For example, if you're on a quest to find a specific character, you'll have to piece together their whereabouts through investigation. Guided Exploration mode bypasses this detective work, providing immediate direction.
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 might be the best choice for you.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. Here, you can toggle Guided Exploration mode on or off at any time, giving you the flexibility to switch as your gameplay preferences change.
