Assassin's Creed Shadows improves on one of the series' best features
Briefly

Assassin's Creed Shadows introduces an innovative objectives screen that enhances user experience in its sprawling open world. Unlike previous entries in the franchise that relied heavily on a traditional list format, Shadows’ quest map visually represents connections between tasks, characters, and regions. This layout allows players to prioritize their objectives based on exploration and story engagement rather than skill levels. As players progress, the system reflects their decisions and efforts, providing a personalized gameplay experience that deepens their immersion in the game world.
Shadows' objectives menu creates a navigable quest map that enhances immersion, visually showing task connections to characters and regions rather than relying on a simple list.
Instead of a hidden branching structure, Shadows brings transparency with its objective layout, displaying multi-step processes that increase player engagement and understanding of progress.
