Sure can, but not all games play ball. Some games need a constant internet connection for updates or multiplayer features. So, if you're planning to chill out in a cabin in the woods with your favorite single-player Steam game, you're golden. Just double-check the game's requirements first.
Nope, you're out of luck for multiplayer. Obviously, you can't jump into an online game without... well, being online. But for solo adventures? Steam's got your back.
It's a mixed bag. While you can play many games offline, it feels like Steam doesn't want you too comfy away from the internet. Always having to check in before going offline? Bit of a hassle if you ask me.
Offline mode is a lifesaver for when your internet decides to take an unexpected vacation. I've used it tons of times, especially when my ISP was about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. Most games work flawlessly, but some online-only games are a no-go.
