As a horror series? It's been a really long time since I saw Higurashi and I think I only saw the first two seasons, but...it depends? Aside from the psychological aspect, they're two pretty different breeds of horror series as I recall. Higurashi had a lot of cutesy slice-of-life segments to juxtapose the grim supernatural elements while TG is more of a straight forward urban gothic horror. In tone, TG is closer to Another I think. I think Higurashi was more of a splatter horror as well? Both series are have gore, but I think Higurashi leaned a bit more on it while in TG it's mixed in with "adult horror".

I also feel that while they're both classified as horror, Higurashi is more true to its genre while TG is more of a tragedy that gets labled horror because a lot of bad shit happens (mostly) to good people. Higurashi makes it a point to try and be horrifying and creepy, while in TG it's more par for the course because it happens to revolve around man eating monsters.

Not sure if that helped any since I'm drawing from my fuzzy memories of Higurashi, but I hope it did~
