I can't say anything about this game that hasn't already been said, but it is just a masterpiece. Everything comes together into an absolutely amazing have that everyone should try.

Adorable Pokemon-like, with a uniquely in-depth battle system that sets it apart. The art style is a charming homage, and I really loved the melancholic music throughout - and you can romance characters, too. Always welcome. The story was a bit all over the place, and the art of the various bosses you face could've been a bit more consistent. Even with these narrative shortcomings, I don't think any of us play Pokemon or Pokemon-likes for the plot, and what is here is perfectly servicable. The true charm is in Cassette Beast's world and moment-to-moment gameplay, and I found the game to be incredibly addictive, and a perfect first playthrough on my then-new Steam Deck. Looking forward to playing the DLC!

Best shakeup to the monster-taming genre I have seen in a loooooong time

this game altered my brain chemistry

A really interesting creature collector that distances itself from being strictly a Pokemon Clone and tries to sell itself on more than just being "Not Pokemon". An interesting story that suffers from the occasional moment of weak writing paired with a combat system that's fun to optimize, and a roster of monsters that's large enough to keep things fresh while being small enough to not overwhelm the aspiring completionist.

I loved this game a lot.
I tried it a few months before my 'real' first playthrough and didn't really vibe with it so I just put it on-hold. I decided to come back to it after watching a YT vid and it finally clicked. It's just so fun to play. I loved collecting all the beasts and getting all their evolutions. The boss fights were really cool and visually creative.
