Can this game be played offline? ( Denuvo DRM )

[Paul Anthony Live]

So I'm tempted to buy this game, however I just read it uses the Denuvo DRM.
It's widely known there's some controversy to this style of DRM and some people reported the game could not be played without an internet connection.

Just curious to anyone who has it, if you are playing this and your net goes offline does it kick you out of the game?

Or if you start steam in offline mode and have no internet connection period, can you still play it?

I think it requiers you to log into UPlay yo open the game still.

The game and uplay can both be launched in offline mode. You only need to log into the game and uplay once for authorization and you can play in offline mode indeffintly.

This is accurate. Playing in offline mode will prevent you from receiving the challenges/awards, but that's about it.

I can't play in offline mode, it say something about expired licenses

Why are all the dev working with the Ubisoft ?
They are so BAD and really useless !!
Could you create a game that could run WITHOUT fuc king DRM ??

I can't get it to play offline on steamdeck, does anyone have a fix? Logged in and started the game the once then it needed it again next time I was offline. Bought it just to play offline at work on steamdeck if I can't do that I'll have to refund.

It always brings me to a u connect login screen where no shortcut will open the keyboard and I can check a box to use in offline mode but that doesn't do anything.
