See, I love 12 b/c the point of the movie (to me, IMO) was to reunite Dusty with Isabelle and Isabelle with her father. So, it was a lot more character driven than Ocean's 11. Also, we got to meet Matt Damon's character's mother.

Clooney and Pitt really carried 11. It's strong b/c it wasn't a complete copy of the Rat Pack original. And you also really wanted to see Clooney and Roberts back together.

13 was a pretty straight forward revenge heist.

And I found 8 to be pretty solid. I think my biggest issue with it was they brought back the Amazing Yen for the "twist." And maybe it didn't have the triangle of Pitt, Clooney, and Damon like the originals personality wise and that was okay. Overall, it was still a solid heist movie. The main issue is you can't have a different crew with the exact chemistry of the original crew. I think that would be just calling for MORE comparisons between them and more criticism of 8. "Oh we don't need more female driven heist movies b/c it's just a bad knockoff of 11." No. We need more Ocean's 8s, and St. Trinian's, and Sugar & Spice, because they're all FUN movies.

YMMV

I agree with some of this, mostly that people cared about the relationships stakes with 12 and 11, and somewhat 13 and I think that was my problem with 8; there was no relationship stakes.
