An internet connection is very much necessary for the online rallies

What if I don't care about online rallies? I just enjoy a good singleplayer campaign. Rally 1.0 doesn't require a constant connection.

Also, these days I want games I can play on my Steam deck so I'm not tied to my desk. Reports say DR2 runs pretty well. But am I going to lose hours of progress because I had to temporarily put my battery-powered device into sleep mode? Reviews say it can happen pretty easily even on a normal PC.

Course language warning, but this review sums up the experience I don't want and why I'm avoiding the game. Commenters confirm it's remained accurate.

The review I linked was posted 3 days after that update. It's about the singleplayer career mode.

I used to only play time trials tbh, and that always worked offline

From looking it seems the career mode doesn't work offline but other things do
