anon! this is dishonored, it's one of my fav games ever: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishonored
basically the premise is this: you are corvo attano, lord protector to the empress jessamine kaldwin. jessamine is assassinated, her daughter emily is kidnapped, and corvo is blamed for the murder and thrown in prison to be executed.
however, a group of loyalists manage to break corvo out of prison, and he goes into hiding. while in hiding he is branded on the hand by a being known as the outsider. people worship the outsider, but the state religious officials view him as a kind of satan and punish those found with his mark, or with whale charms or runes (these can channel his powers). the outsider's brand gives corvo powers such as being able to teleport (known as "blinking"), possess rats or even humans, bend time, etc.
basically, corvo is given tasks by the loyalists to eliminate (whether by assassination or by other means) key members of the aristocracy who worked together to have the empress assassinated, and to find emily, wherever she's been hidden. the less people you kill in this game, the better, as the ending will be more optimistic.
do you need more reasons to play this game? well, it's got incredible worldbuilding (the city of dunwall is located on the main island of gristol, but corvo is from another island in the empire known as serkonos). serkonans are treated as savages or just simply with disgust, so you'll overhear people referring to corvo in dismissive or even frightened tones, as they are very xenophobic. also the devs are very open to criticism and worked to treat women in the game and its downloadable stories better. there's going to be a sequel in which emily is the protagonist! and finally, there's an all-star voice cast including people like carrie fisher (princess leia!), chloe grace-moretz (hit girl!), lena headey (queen cersei!) and susan sarandon (a bunch of stuff!)
i went on kind of a ramble there but the story of it plus the sneaky parkour elements work super well with matt's abilities! there are also numerous factions like the bottle street gang, the dead eels, the hatters, and the brigmore witches for matt to fight as a marked vigilante.
