They are still publishing updates to Age Of Empires, not sure the quality though:

To quote a review: I grew up on AoE2, and these expansions have really brought life into the game as a whole.

AoE2 has been a staple of my entire family gamers and non-gamers alike for 20 years now. My ~50 year old parents played with my wife an I in a big 4 person game over Christmas. The updates have definitely improved the balance. Huns cav archers are a little more expensive, fire ships beat galleys beat demo ships beat fire ships, better AI. All great improvements imo.

The AOE2HD port is reasonably well done, and they've even released new content for it. It holds up.

Maybe the single player campaign but 3vPC multiplayer just sucks and will dc/hang easily.

Unfortunately the same holds true for 0AD as recommend by someone else.

But both still wonderful games.
