This looks like a really nice Pokemon Snap inspired game :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1479390/Alekon/

Adding the link as a reply here in case your comment gets deleted one day. I lost like 3 recommendations because someone posted a game link and then their account got deleted or deactivated before I could add it to the list. Don't want that to happen again :).

Woah thank you for maintaining this thread for 3 years! I was itching for this kinda game weeks ago, so I bought Slime Rancher (already on your list) on discount and enjoyed it a lot.
Things that may or may not be useful to this thread, since I obviously haven't read the thread in its entirety:

Wait I never added Slime Rancher 2 to the list? Nani??? Thank you for notifying me of this, I thought it was already there :)
And it's a great pleasure to be of use here.
Since the creature collector tag has been implemented it's helped it a lot, but there are still a few games that fall inside of the monster taming genre that doesn't qualify for the creature collector tag. Additionally at this stage we're still adding the games to the curator list and provide a more expanded "tag" to simply state what type of monster taming game it is.
These "tags" are as follows:
Monster taming elements.
Full monster taming experience.
Monster breeding or caring.
Monster capture or training mechanics.
Photography.

Glad I contributed a wee bit too, I thought maybe you had a "no Early Access games" policy in place :)
Since the creature collector tag has been implemented
I thought this thread might predate the tags in my previous comment. I guess that's true! And yeah, the group curator indeed provides more nuance than the tag(s).

A big chunk of the list is future games and early access games.
The purpose of the list and the curator page is to find and label the games accordingly, if it's a game yet to be released or only released in early access it doesn't really change what it is.
The only exception I have in general is NSFW games... because... just no, haha.

I see! I had read the main body of the post and was just starting to browse through the list when I wrote the first comment so I hadn't seen any early access games yet.
it doesn't really change what it is
True. I just found it curious you included Slime Rancher 1 but not 2 :p

Oh, speaking of "Honorable Mention", didn't anybody tells about Octopath Traveler II, yet ?
Right now, with 70+ Hours spent on this nice sequel, I can : The monster-capture feature as been fairly improved !
...And even more, less optional than in the first one. (As you can keep your chosen pets as long as you want, this time.
Meanwhile, the only way to get "rid" of unwanted catches is to ...cook them ? )

I love the monster capture/training genre (cough cough Pokemon games), but it's quite difficult to find such games on PC and even more so on Steam, please mention/link more games with this type of setup (hell in general it just needs monster capturing or battling in order to qualify really).
Created a SteamGroup to be able to manage this a bit better there as well :) Monster Taming Games Group
The group also has a curator if you want to easily see the tagged games (we've tagged them based on the type of monster taming elements they have) : Monster Taming Games Curator
I would also like to implement a steam tag for this type of game on steam, if enough people tag the games with the tag and we get the devs involved (I have spoken to a few that are very keen on doing this) then we can maybe make this a reality and through doing this make finding games of this sub-genre extremely easy :).
The main idea I got from communicating with the devs is to call the tag "Monster Taming" as this will encompass all the games that have anything to do with capturing, nurturing, raising, evolving, and/or fighting with monsters, it's vague enough to encompass a lot of game thus making it more viable to be an actual tag. If anyone has a better idea please feel free to comment on my first comment in order to add it to a vote in the future, until then let's find some more games in this genre on Steam :).
So the main consensus was reached, let's all go ahead and tag the games with "Monster Taming" !!!
