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 decide.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained
Guided Exploration mode is a familiar feature in many *Assassin’s Creed* titles, and it 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 eliminating the risk of getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage in more traditional exploration and investigation to progress. For example, if you're tasked with tracking down an NPC, you'll have to use the clues and information provided to deduce their whereabouts or search for additional hints to guide you to your objective.
Guided Exploration simplifies this process by immediately directing you to your next step, cutting out the extra legwork.
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 your priority is to enjoy the story without the risk of getting stuck, turning on Guided Exploration might be the right choice for you.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and head to the Gameplay section. Here, you can toggle Guided Exploration mode on or off at any time, giving you the flexibility to switch based on your preference.
