(Fireproof flying zombie assassin with a railgun, anyone?) There are a lot of hidden bits as well and, on top of everything else, it actually rewards the player later on for being thorough in their searching. Screwing around with that system is a LOT of fun, with some wonderfully absurd possibilities. This is in a decent-sized area with a number of physics puzzles which all have multiple solutions depending on what you've been doing with all the things you've been reprogramming.
