From the first teaser trailer to the screenshots, the game’s description to its gameplay teasers, Sinfeld: Evil Resident is a wild ride. Chocked-full of jump scares, beat-em-up action, hidden gems and secrets throughout, and a whole lot of references to a beloved sitcom that I won’t name, Sinfeld: Evil Resident is one of the more surprising releases of 2025. That isn’t to say it’s one of *those* indie games, this isn’t a game that makes you watch paint dry or tend to e-plants all the day long.

I had a dream I was in a world not unlike Severance. Hallways upon hallways, rooms full of organized nonsense, coworkers so oddly cheery that is leaves you unsettled, and white hallways. Everything was somewhere on the spectrum between off-white, eggshell, and pure white. I awoke…and all I could think about was Severance Season 2 – Episode 6. Like Mark S., my time with the severed floor and team has begun to mesh the worlds in my mind…and it’s not going as smooth as either of us would hope.

This was a rough episode for MDR’s star refiner. Dylan G. has been equal parts comic relief, no-nonsense workhorse, and master of the quickest quips and most berating burns. As an awestruck Mr. Milchick points out at one point, Dylan G. has an ounce of sugar, alongside his regular salt. And you know what? For Severance Season 2 – Episode 5, we enjoyed a little sugar. It helped ease the pain of the added salt in last episode’s wound.

Finally, our faithful Macro Data Refiners get a much needed break. A vacation? Maybe not that. Perhaps it’s best to call the weekend by its Lumon acronym: an O.R.T.B.O. We couldn’t title this review “Severance Season 2 – Episode 4: O.R.T.B.O.” (though the thought did cross my mind). Now, if you’re not a faithful and severed Lumon employee, the idea of spending a weekend as a team of employees, unpaid, alongside your coworkers sounds pretty awful.

We’re back again with Severance Season 2 – Episode 3, and so is Mrs. Selvig. At least for a minute. Much like her, we can’t seem to leave Lumon and our severed floor friends behind. If Severance has taught us anything as viewers, it’s that we just can’t know what anyone is thinking at any given time. Watching the whirlwind that is Patricia Arquette’s Mrs. Selvig / Harmony Cobell, it’s a haunting reminder that we see only what each person chooses to let us see…most of the time.
