The dancing is boring, but Sid Meiers Pirates! Is a true 10/10. I still play it once in a while.

Sea of Thieves is fun if you don't mind being ganked.

Sunless sea is a weird nautical horror game, piracy is an option, so is smuggling drugs, souls, and all kind of horrible crap. Kinda woke, but the lead writer hadn't left yet, so it isn't as bad as the sequel. Speaking of which, Sunless skies has some solid spooky trading gameplay but the writing is complete dogshit. It's kind of funny in a "pull a barve" kind of way. There's a quest where an officer who used to be a male demigod or something who transitioned into a woman in a magic prison needs your help because "she" is being followed by her toxic masculinity in cat form and you have to go on a quest to solve her gender issues or the cats will keep spooking your crew.

There's Underspace, a freelancerlike if you want to be a space pirate. Barotrauma can be a lot of fun, not really pirates so much as a bunch of doomed morons on a submarine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUOWk-o8vaM
