Other people's opinions, confidently narrated as if the game needed a translator.
means A spoken or written account that explains, interprets, or adds opinion to something happening or already said.
from From Latin 'commentarius,' meaning a notebook or set of notes — originally the jottings a Roman official or writer kept to work through a topic before producing something finished. 'Commentarii' were drafts, memoranda, working explanations. English borrowed the word in that same spirit: commentary was supposed to be the helpful notes alongside the main text, not a performance in its own right — though it's since wandered far from the margins.
