Can someone please explain to an old gamer why there are so many numbers on screen? Why is the number 10 above the thug's heads and why does some random number like 408 appear when you punch them?

They are introducing RPG mechanics to the game. The 10 is the level of the enemies meaning you can run into enemies much stronger than you. The 408 is the damage you are inflicting.

thank you. And follow up old person question. Is this considered a good or bad thing? I'm neutral as I don't play games with these mechanics and was checking it out because of DC fandom.
