Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Is Guided Exploration Mode Worth It?

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, a familiar feature in several *Assassin’s Creed* titles, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode ensures your next quest objective is always marked on your map, guiding you to your destination and preventing you from getting lost.

Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage in more traditional exploration and investigation to determine your next move. For example, if you're tasked with tracking an NPC, you'll rely on the clues and information provided to deduce their whereabouts or search for additional hints to guide you to your goal.

Guided Exploration mode simplifies this process by instantly revealing the next step, eliminating the need for extensive searching.

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 story without the risk of getting stuck, turning on Guided Exploration could be beneficial.

How to Turn On Guided Exploration

You can easily toggle Guided Exploration on or off at any time. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. Here, you can switch Guided Exploration mode on or off according to your preference.
