The Amazon deal of the week is Risen. It's an Role Playing Game and that's all I know about it, I haven't even started it. Damn, my huge backlog of games and now this game is added to my game pile of shame. The Steam summer sale is going to destroy my wallet/bank account.
Anyways here's a little information about the game from amazon and some reviews:
Delve into a gritty, raw and atmospheric fantasy world in which every action has a consequence. In the epic world of Risen, filled with mysterious earthquakes, fearsome monsters and unimaginable treasures, forge your path with the sword, learn the art of staff fighting or become a powerful mage.
- Countless side quests and creatures to discover.
- Over 60 hours of Immersive open world gameplay.
- Alter the destiny of the island by the actions you take.
- An epic story in an authentic world hand-crafted with an eye for detail and populated by "real", plausible characters.
Meta-Score of 77/100 and a User score of 8.2:

It's apparently Gothic without the naming rights.
