I always find pictures from Pen-F a bit flat. However, still a bit better, than the 16mp Olympus era. Punchy, colorful, but has no depth. But if you look at just test charts, you'll never see this. I find this a bad trend that sharpness and noise is everything today, while the ability of drawing fine transitions is something that only a few speaks of. In this regard, the Pen-F is weak as well, even if it is better than the rest you mentioned. However, I find the GX8 very good. I don't know whether it is worse on 2D test charts than the Pen-F or not, but it has very deep images.

Olympus cameras have too much contrast at default settings. Try to set contrast to "-2".
A few examples:
