Do I need to have played the earlier games to understand Elden Ring or Ragnarok?

Elden Ring has no direct continuity with other FromSoftware games: you can start with no prior experience in the series. God of War: Ragnarok continues directly where God of War (2018) ended, so it is worth playing that first to understand the relationship between Kratos and Atreus.

Are all these games in English?

Yes, all four include text and menus in English. God of War: Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2 also have full English voice-over.

Which is the longest?

Elden Ring is the most extensive: the main campaign can take between 50 and 80 hours, and completing all the content can exceed 100 hours. God of War: Ragnarok is about 30-40 hours for the main story with exploration. Spider-Man 2 and Hogwarts Legacy are around 15-25 hours for the main campaign.

Are they suitable for inexperienced players?

Spider-Man 2 and Hogwarts Legacy are the most accessible, with difficulty options that make them comfortable for any level. God of War: Ragnarok is accessible on story or easy difficulty. Elden Ring is the only one that requires patience and a willingness to face repeated defeats as part of the experience.
