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 everything you need to know.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained
Guided Exploration mode is a familiar feature in the *Assassin’s Creed* franchise, and it makes a return in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is always marked on the map, guiding you to your destination and preventing you from getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, you're tasked with a more immersive experience, where you must rely on exploration and investigation to progress. For example, if you're on a quest to find an NPC, you'll need to use the clues provided to deduce their location or search for additional hints to guide you to your goal. Guided Exploration eliminates this detective work, directly pointing you to where you need to go.
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, so turning it on won't detract from your experience. If you prefer to focus on the narrative without the worry of getting lost or stuck, activating Guided Exploration is a great choice.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
You can easily toggle Guided Exploration on and off at any time during your gameplay. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. From there, you can switch Guided Exploration mode on or off as you see fit.
