Is Guided Exploration Mode Worth Enabling in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated for its emphasis on exploration, particularly in its expansive open-world settings, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues this tradition. If you're considering utilizing 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 feature familiar to many *Assassin’s Creed* fans, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode will always highlight your next quest objective on the map, ensuring you know exactly where to go and preventing you from getting lost.

Without Guided Exploration, you're tasked with more hands-on exploration and investigation to determine your next move. For example, if you're on a quest to find an NPC, you'll need to piece together clues and information to track them down, or seek out additional hints to guide you to your objective.

Guided Exploration eliminates this detective work, providing you with immediate direction.

Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?

The decision is entirely yours. Personally, I find that the investigative elements in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* don't significantly enhance the gameplay experience, so enabling Guided Exploration isn't a major compromise. If your goal is to immerse yourself in the story without the risk of getting lost, turning it on could be the way to go.

How to Turn On Guided Exploration

You can enable or disable Guided Exploration at any time. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and head over to the Gameplay section. There, you'll find the option to toggle Guided Exploration on or off according to your preference.
