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 a comprehensive guide to help you make the most of your gaming experience.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained
Guided Exploration mode, a familiar feature in several *Assassin’s Creed* titles, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When enabled, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is always marked on the map, making it easy to navigate and eliminating the risk of getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, players must engage in more traditional exploration and investigation to progress. For example, if you're tasked with tracking an NPC, you'll need to rely on the clues provided within the game world to determine their whereabouts or uncover additional hints to guide you to your goal. Guided Exploration mode simplifies this process by directly pointing you to your next step, cutting out the investigative legwork.
Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?
The decision to use Guided Exploration mode ultimately depends on your personal gaming preference. In my experience, the investigative elements in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* do not significantly enhance the gameplay. If you're more interested in immersing yourself in the story without the hassle of getting lost, turning on Guided Exploration mode could be beneficial.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward and can be done at any time during your gameplay. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. Here, you'll find the option to toggle Guided Exploration on or off, allowing you to switch between modes as you see fit.
