General strategy
I'd advise you to start the game directly in expedited mode. The expedited mode allows 5 seconds to prepare your next action, I though it would be too little time but really, it's more than enough. This way, you'll be able to unlock the "Campaign Achievements" (see section) at the end of each level. You'll also unlock some of the "Misc. Achievements" on the road. You'll be able to reload a level if you want to do it again, so no missable achievements here :)

After doing this, play in Normal mode to unlock the "Names" Achievements. These achievements will be the REAL DEAL because this game has lots of randomness in its mechanics (types of enemies, hit chance etc) and this is "only" where the difficulty will be since you'll have to finish the level under a certain amount of time, with a minimum general accuracy, using a certain amount of weapons and without using bandages in order to unlock the Baba Yaga name in each level. This may seem like a downer BUT if you're not satisfied with your run you can hit Esc -> Restart, this way you'll be able to restart the current section and not the whole level. This is what I did when I noticed I lost too much health, or most enemies had guns etc or even when I thought I had put too much time. Note : there is no way to see you current stats (accuracy, time, number of weapons used, which is a shame).

Some tips :
  • Use walls/crates/pillars for cover.
  • Don't be afraid to use melee.
  • Change stance (crouch) in some situations.
  • Hit Refocus when you can, this can be a lifesaver !
  • Press Esc->Restart if you're not satisfied with your run in the current stage.

Misc. Achievements
Clipped Kill someone by throwing a gun at them.
The Throwing attack does 1 damage, this one can easily be done by using Strike (2 DMG) then throwing your gun.

Survivor Complete a location with under four bars of health remaining.
You just need to finish a section of a level with less than four bars of health, can be easily done in the first section of Chinatown.

Change of Heart Kill someone using two or more guns.
I did this one in the first part of the level "Chinatown", in the alley with the two spawning enemies. I shot the enemy on the right once with my gun, killed the one on the left, took his gun, then shot the one on the right with the gun I just picked up. You'll have to be "lucky" enough to hit him once and miss him with your second shot, if your "Shoot" hits him twice he's dead. If so, press Esc->Restart.

87eleven Use a takedown, a strike and a push on the same enemy.
I did this on Edgar in Chinatown when I entered the room I threw him my gun, ran towards him then used Strike, Push and Takedown.

Wasteful Reload a gun which is only missing one round.
I did this at the start of Chinatown. I got close to the first enemy, used Strike on him (-2HP) then used Shoot, it only consummed 1 ammo. Then I clicked on reload.

Excommunicado Begin a new game at 6pm.
I tried to unlock the achievement by modifying Windows time but it didn't work, so I waited 18:00 precisely (my local time) and it unlocked by clicking on New Game -> Operator.
