Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained

Guided Exploration mode, a familiar feature in many Assassin’s Creed games, makes its return in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. When activated, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is always clearly marked on the map, guiding you seamlessly through the game and preventing you from getting lost.

Without Guided Exploration, the game challenges you to engage more deeply with the environment. For example, if you're tasked with finding an NPC, you'll need to use the clues and information provided to track them down, enhancing the sense of immersion and detective work. However, Guided Exploration mode streamlines this process, immediately directing you to your next step and eliminating the need for extensive searching.

Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?

The choice 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 hassle of getting lost or stuck, activating Guided Exploration might be the best choice for you.

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 according to your preference.

And that’s everything you need to know about utilizing Guided Exploration in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and in-depth information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
