I've been a fan of Higurashi for over a decade now and Sotsu feels like such a let down. Gou had a lot of flaws but it was still okay to me but Sotsu is just pretty much a recap of Gou episodes but as seen through the villain's eyes. The conclusion was so bad too because Satoko never learned anything at all and she wasn't punished nor redeemed. It's weird that Rika eventually just forgave her after knowingly sending her back to her hell (June 1983 in Hinamizawa). But it's probably because Rika isn't really alone anymore and there is someone else who has the same power as her now.
