GEFORCE NOW - a cheap way back into PC gaming, but it is any good?

[nst68]

I want to get back in to PC gaming but can't justify buying a decent rig if I'm not going to stick with it.

Would GEFORCE NOW via my work laptop give a decent experience? It's got a wired connection and I'm on Virgin 300mb.

I'm looking at games like Transport Fever 2, Cities:Skylines, World of Warships etc

There's a free membership level? Why not give it a go?
Do you already own the games?

No, I don't own the games, presume I have to buy then through Steam?

I had a go a while ago, mostly playing non FPS games and it worked well - signed up for founder can canceled within the 90 free trial. Not sure if that option is still available. At the time I had an aging gaming laptop and was contemplating building desktop, buying new laptop or streaming.
The main reason I did not continue with streaming is that I love mods, and until GEFORCE NOW can integrate this I do not think it can really replace a pc. If you just want to play unmodded games it does that reasonably well, and you can test it free. I

The modding thing might be an issue further down the line, but then gives me an excuse to buy a PC if I get in to games that need them
