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 need to know.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained
Guided Exploration mode, a familiar feature in many *AC* games, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is clearly marked on your map, guiding you seamlessly through the game and preventing you from getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, players are tasked with more investigative work. For example, if you're on a mission to track down an NPC, you'll need to rely on the clues and information provided to deduce their location or seek additional hints to guide you to your goal. Guided Exploration mode eliminates this extra legwork by directly showing you where to go.
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, so enabling this mode won't detract from your enjoyment. If you prefer to focus on the storyline without the risk of getting lost or stuck, turning on Guided Exploration is a smart move.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward and can be adjusted at any time during your playthrough. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. From there, toggle the Guided Exploration mode to activate it. You can easily switch it off whenever you feel like taking on a more challenging, self-directed exploration.
