(Possible Higurashi spoilers ahead)
Compared to Umineko, in Higurashi magic is real. I admit that I only watched the Higurashi anime, but having a Deus ex Machina at the last arc was lame. Overall it is almost like a reversal of Umineko.
In Higurashi you were first made to believe that fantasy is not part of the story, but at the end you see a "shrine god" appearing in human form and people being able to know facts about "parallel universes".
In Umineko you were first made to believe, that fantasy exists, but at the end you see that no real magic existed in the real world and most content was only "fiction in fiction".
I may be biased because of the fact that i only played the VN of Umineko, but I guess I am one of the few that like Umineko more than Higurashi.
