The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated for its focus on exploration, a feature that shines brightly in the expansive open-world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. If you're considering diving into the world of *Shadows* with the Guided Exploration mode, 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 seamlessly to your next adventure without the risk of getting lost.
Without this mode, you'll need to embrace the detective within you. For example, if you're tasked with finding an NPC, you'll have to rely on the clues and information at your disposal to track them down or seek out additional hints to guide you to your goal. Guided Exploration mode eliminates this investigative legwork, providing immediate direction to your objectives.
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 immerse yourself in the narrative without the hassle of getting stuck, enabling this mode could be the way to go.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward and can be done at any time. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. Here, you can toggle Guided Exploration mode on or off, allowing you to adjust your gameplay experience as you see fit.
