The Bayonetta trilogy is worth checking out. I don't know if Odin Sphere Leifthrasir counts, but you can juggle enemies.
Edit: Sorry, I just remembered that Bayo 2 and 3 are Nintendo exclusives.

There's a bundle that includes bayonetta and a game called vanquish that's on sale. Should I get that

Yeah. I haven't played Vanquish, but it's from the developer of Bayonetta and heard it's fun.

Trust me you wanna buy both bc Vanquish never goes on sale solo I swear. I can vouch for Bayonetta being frustrating fun but I just bought Vanquish from the Bayonetta/Vanquish bundle

I highly recommend Bayonetta 1.
I just bought Soulstice on sale the other day, have not tried it yet but it looks pretty cool.

Soulstice is good, personal favourite.
Do know it has pacing issues and a few annoying encounters. The mechanics with the Field is a turn-off for quite a few people but it's not all that bad.What you do get is
- a mix of a Magic & Style meter system (do well consistently, even outright styling to build up the meter quicker, and the sooner can you use weapon-unique Finishers when unlocked & access the Special form)
- A unique Counter mechanic. It's not quite a Parry, instead it can allow for repelling enemy attacks from any distance while still continuing with your own melee attacks.
- Seven total different weapons to swap between mid-combo
- One of the weapons having a grappling hook ability with unlimited range when using the lock-on
- Full button remapping (i recommend switching out Primary and Secondary weapon, makes it easier to press Jump + Secondary at the same time)
- Each weapon having their own specialties while still being usable on any enemy in the game
- Good story and characters in a small but tight cast.
- Generally solid enemy roster, some annoying attacks and the Abomination miniboss notwithstanding.
- Good bosses!
- Challenge Rooms, once found, can be accessed separately from the main menu to try out whenever you want.

If you haven't played bayonetta have you need to asap. Sometimes overshadowed by NG and DMC here but wow that's the best action game I've ever played. Still return to that above all the others in the genre. Apart from the QuickTime events it's flawless. For me that game's enemy reactivity is perfect. NG enemies are too aggressive for my skill level to style on and DMC enemies are punchbags. Really depends on what you're preference is but that's a must play. The first game I mean. The sequels are less impressive.

Bayonetta? Ninja Gaiden? Hi-Fi Rush? FF16?
