Strong accusations. It certainly looks like they copied, but it could very well just be a coincidence. We'll see.

Certainly though, no one will ever beat Limbo of the Lost...

Go google some pics of that and see if you can faintly recognize certain parts of it.

Those are examples of games that borrowed gameplay ideas and attempted to refine/alter them, for better or worse. They didn't steal code and animations. Not saying that the Shadow of Mordor guys did, but those examples you gave are a completely different issue.

Gosh that's hilarious! Did they get away with it?

It looks a bit similar but it is not nearly as fluid as AC.

Nah, not so much!

There was also theft from Oblivion, Unreal and a bunch of other games, I don't think there was a single original asset in the entire production...

Oh, I see the difference. Guess we're gonna have to wait and see if they actually stole the code. Because I seriously don't get how they would think that they could get away with it.

Wow, how can some people not see that it's a carbon copy of AC? Of course they ripped it off straight through.

I almost couldn't believe watching that video. And these guys didn't even understand which parts to cut away (AC combat). What a comedy.

I'm not sure whats the issue here, lots of games copied Gears of War combat gameplay so its only normal someone will do the same with AC.

There was nothing unique about gears of war's combat, and no-one directly ripped off its animations anyway.
