Sometimes I play Sky Force Anniversary when I'm doing nothing. But, when I open the game in offline, it redirects my to Play Store and few seconds later it shows that I dont have any internet connection. Why can't I play my offline game in offline?

Some games do this because of advertising. They can't present ads if you're offline.

Then cache some adverts and refresh your cache every time there's a network connection.

Breaking the game entirely because you can't serve the most recent advertising is absurd. Particularly for single player/offline titles.

But that be convenient and logical, we can't have that.

But the ads are the point. The game is secondary.
