Sorry for the late reply, sometimes life catches up with a person.
Verbmon looks like it fits the bill, damn does it look weird though XD just the type of education game I want to play though haha.
Planet Centauri looks like Terraria on steroids, I love it !!!
Atrio ... looks interesting, seems it does have monster taming in, though they don't at all show it in action XD but hey I guess it qualifies, at least until we can see if it doesn't haha

So I added them to the list, along with PixArk as that is also a monster taming game and I somehow forgot to add it to the list https://store.steampowered.com/app/593600/PixARK/

[CBlade]

Three new additions !!!!!

Find and recruit strange species... I don't see it in any of the screenshots but does that mean you can get creatures in your team and level them up? Because then I'd say this qualifies... if you however just get other humanoid species in your team then it doesn't count as they aren't creatures.

[SchuratzPraime]

You buy cages and the more you circle the last monster the more you have chance of capturing it, they attack by themselves.

Deity Quest is basically pokemon with more interesting combat.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/340330
Also Breeding tag was something I've used for any games where it applied but hadn't thought to use a more generic Monster Taming tag since it didn't feel fitting for games like https://store.steampowered.com/app/440650
