Honestly, playable. 1. Input lag for this doesn't matter 2. Lower resolution hides the lower texture fidelity as well Clearly though very game dependent.

To you it doesn't matter, sure.

    It may not "matter" per se because it's not a MP shooter, but input lag of any kind feels sluggish and bad to play.

      "of any kind" is not really true. My old large LCD TV had terrible input lag, but your brain eventually adjusts. I eventually replaced it with a quality large LCD TV because the lag really mattered when combining controller + online play + fast FPS. Otherwise, I was able to beat all the Dark Souls with what I'd say is input lag equivalent to that demo.

      I think the situation is not so black and white. I've not used Stadia before, but I played a lot of God of War streamed from my gaming PC to my phone using a controller accessory. In GoW I essentially didn't notice any lag after a few moments. But in other games that are more reaction-based I absolutely did notice, and that never got better. So it does seem to depend on what kind of game you're playing and how much lag there actually is ... I'm sure I would've noticed 200ms of lag, but 15-30ms? Not really. That said, I don't know how much lag there is using Stadia (I launched the demo here but didn't play beyond seeing that it worked). Maybe the lag from streaming over the internet is too large for good experiences in general.

I tried the initial walkabout segment in 720p, IMO the image quality was decent but the lag was quite jarring. This is especially true since this is a first-person title and the screen was taking time to react to my mouse moments. You could probably get used to it but I would not find this enjoyable especially once you begin combat segments. This is on DSL with around 7ms to a major city exchange (there is Google infra there but not sure if it has Stadia servers). Likely performance will be improved if you are on fiber and are in the same city as the game server.
