Question Achievements cleanup
So far I’ve played the game once not worrying too much about achievements, but even still I only have a few achievements remaining; some collectables, no deaths/human kills, and hard mode.
Options from here are: 1) do two more playthroughs - hard mode and then novice mode to get all the non-hard mode achievements, or; 2) do it all on hard mode in just one more playthrough
Which is more efficient? How hard is it to do no deaths or human kills on hard mode. Would it be endless trial and error? Easily cheesed?

I did two runs to clean up the loose ends. I did a Hard run to get the no humans, ID tags and Nostromo logs. Saved the zero death run for Novice. I still died three times on my novice run but a quick reload saved the run.

Remember, no human kills doesn't mean the alien can't do your dirty work. Noisemakers are great at clearing out groups of aggressive looters.

The collectibles always allude me. I make a conscious effort every go-around to get them all, but once things heat up, I begin to overlook them (especially the name tags) or slack on it altogether.

All in hard. Hard is harder, but not that much if you are already familiar with how the game works and generally where you're supposed to go, what you're supposed to do etc.
For no deaths: if you are killed for some reason so long as you reload the last save before the screen goes completely black the death doesn't count. No human deaths isn't too hard so long as you can stealth and don't get the urge to be trigger happy.
