I very much enjoyed VV1 & VV2. I may be repeating some other people (I can't read 75 pages to determine, sorry).
Here is my problem with the game. Once you win, there is nothing else to do. Playing again doesn't make any sense since you have already figured out all the puzzles.
It would be nice to have many different ways to play the game. Not from my choice, but from the start. Not just berries vs coconuts, but puzzles that are different every time you play the game (or at least the order in which you achieve them are.) Things like which stew has which effect should be randomized at the start of the game.
So either make 100 Puzzles for the game (each one requiring multiple steps). Or show a random selection of 16 puzzles that need to be accomplished out of a possible 100. Or even better have 16 puzzles whose solution each time changes.
Oh, and don't give away the first couple of puzzles in the Tutorial. Creating fire and researching plants was so much of a give away that I felt cheated.
How about multiple areas, where you solve one and a few of your people are moved to the next to solve even more puzzles.
Put a little effort into the game. I would like to have a game that I can play longer than a week.
