I just started the first season of HIGURASHI and I was told that it has 50 EPS i.e. S1 + S2 

So do I need to watch other SEQUELS?

PLS DONT PUT ANY SPOILERS I'm just at EP5 of S1

You also have to watch ‘Rei’ (5 episodes)
i’m gonna be honest, that season can be silly, but it adds important content that you can’t miss.

2020 version are direct sequels, but they were not planned when Deen version ended, so you can actually end there, but it is not advisable.
It's still good tho.

the series ends at season 2, but 3 and 4 are added sequels that were written much later.

Hmm if all you care about is the core Higurashi plot then yes, it ends at season 2.

I'd only recommend watching further seasons if you get really into it and want more. Go to Rei after Kai in that case.

Gou and sotsu are anime originals. I wouldn’t recommend them at all. You’ve done a good job not jumping straight to gou.

imo every arc or season works as it's own story with its own ending. if you like the characters and the setting then watch it, but be prepared that any semblance horror is out of the window by that point

If you liked it so far, then you should continue, it's not as bad as most people say

If you liked it so far, you should stop here. It's even worse than people say

stop after kei it's absolutely horrendous after that. also if you enjoyed the anime read the visual novel it's phenomenal.

Well, technically the series never ends. The weird timeline thing is infinite so it could go on forever. Not that anything after the second series is that good and necessary.

you can stop after kai or go read the visual novels, the reboot/sequel isn't that worth it tbh

Well I am at HIGURASHI GOU season episode 12. It's almost same as season 1 but a little bit different at end of the episodes.

The good story ends at Kai. Reboot is hated for a reason
