Is "Geforce Now" good?

Some time ago I got a new PC and sold the old one to pay for a new monitor.
While I was waiting for a buyer my nephew used that PC and we played some games like No man's sky and 7DTD. We wanted to play some more but he doesnt have a PC of his own so I as thinking of trying this "Cloud gaming" thing.

I head it is not good for competitive gaming but is it good enough for other games?

I'm guessing it will have a small delay on input but how bad is it?

We are from Argentina and it says there are rigs right here on Buenos Aires, so I'm guessing it will not be too slow.

Also, I heard there is a speed test but I'm not finding it on the PC Client.

I just did 3 tests and they all gave 20ms or less. But I wanted to know from other players, if there are any here on steam.
I have many times read "reviews" both here on steam and on many sites after experiencing myself have found a totally different reality.
Star citizen is a great example. Heard a lot of great things and the 10% of the time the game was not bugged was great. The other 90% of the time I was stuck or relogging after being stuck and redoing the damned test missions again, just to be stuck again in the middle of said mission.

it's pretty good if you have VERY fast and VERY stable internet and VERY low ping.

if you don't then no it's awful.

you need stupidly stable and fast internet to have a decent time imo.
ethernet is a literal must.
