Deus Ex GO has been removed from Microsoft Store for some days, but it is still playable by some sideload tricks.
0. Get files needed
You need to have an original APPX bundle from Microsoft.
The ProductID of the game in Microsoft Store is "9nh49pj27xw4".
Use Microsoft Store Downloader with this ProductID to get official APPX bundle.
You should download the main APPX bundle, and all 3 dependencies (Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.1.3, Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.4, Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00) correspond to your device architecture.
1. Install files
Now you should have 4 files.
Install dependencies first, then the game itself.
If you see this error during installation, 
Terminate those apps in settings.
For GamingServices, you need to terminate these procceses with Task Manager and immediately install it. (these processes will revive after a few seconds)
Once all dependencies are installed, you can install the game.
You will see this if you havn't played it before removed from store.
Don't worry, we can fix in next steps.
2. Extract files for sideload
Use Everything to search for "deus ex go.exe", right click the file, and click "Open Path".
You should see the game folder.
Copy all files to another folder for use. I'm using "D:\Games\DeusExGO".
Delete "AppxSignature.p7x"
Open game APPX bundle downloaded with 7-Zip.
Double click to open the APPX with right architecture.
Extract "[Content_Types].xml" to game folder.
3. The real sideload
Uninstall the original package we installed.
Open a PowerShell in game folder.
Run "Add-AppxPackage -Register AppxManifest.xml"
4. Enjoy
Open "Deus Ex GO" from start menu.
Game started. Enjoy!
You can also backup the current game folder.
