10. Choose A No Powers Run

Doing a no powers run in the first game was difficult. Not only did you have to battle your own desire to use one of the many cool powers to obliterate your foes, but you had to at least have Blink. Such dependence was unfortunate, but that was just how the game was played.

But now, with the sequel, there is an in-built option to use good ol’ fashioned steel, and nothing else.

Right at the beginning of the game when you first meet The Outsider, you are presented with the option to accept his mark, or deny it. The latter begins a no powers run. Not only does it lock your ability to purchase powers, but in turn this makes a 'no powers run' infinitely easier, as you don't have to worry about accidentally buying an upgrade and ruining the experience.

You're no more powerful than your mortal foes, and therein lies a solid challenge.
