GeForce now works pretty well. I use it for gaming while traveling and haven’t had too many issues

GeForce Now is working great for me. But for this person's dad, it probably wouldn't work well at all. The interface is cluttered with game icons. Which is fine for me. But someone averse to tech would probably find it confusing & overwhelming.

Those icons are just games, aren't they? The first row is "my library". Make him a Steam account with just a few games and he can just launch them directly from that row.

Be warned though, Red Dead Redemption is not available on Geforce Now. Maybe someday... they just started integrating Microsoft Game Pass games onto GFN, so maybe RDR is on the backlog there somewhere.
