I don't think I can get all my thoughts together regarding this game, so I'll keep it brief:

This is the best creature-tamer I've played, and it surpasses even the best of mainline Pokémon games to me. During my wait for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet to get fixed, I decided to play other creature-tamers like Fossil Fighters and, of course, Cassette Beasts. I wound up playing this more as my faith in Scarlet/Violet waned further, and now it's highly unlikely that I'll ever look back.

And considering the complete package - DLC included - costs under half of what base Scarlet/Violet costs, this is for sure worth biting the bullet on.

Also, Meredith is best girl.
