So something that can actually be moved around might appear static.
I know it's tempting to always have something ready to beat up anything that moves, but as long as you're carrying a weapon, you will not be able to interact with your environment (apart from beating on it).
Careful use of loose objects in the game world will often help you solve puzzles or stop enemies from attacking you. Try to get used to the Newton Engine, and take advantage of it.
Try to stay at full health, since you never know what's lurking behind the corner. You can check if you're fully recoverd by opening your inventory screen. If you are injured, and not in a hurry, stay in a safe place for a while, until your screen is not red anymore. When this is about to happen, the screen starts shaking.
