Is there a way to start over?
No spoilers here, but after a certain point in the game I wish I had done something different, so I'd like to perhaps start over and make some different decisions based on my current game play experience.

The only way I know of to start over is to delete your save file. That will reset the game. You could probably back up the save onto a USB storage device first, if you wanted, because there's no visible way to "switch" between saves.
On the PS4, go into your settings, then go to the menu item labeled "Application Saved Data Management", and then delete the data for No Man's Sky to reset.
I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/4x5fjt/how_do_you_restart_the_game/
explode13 mentioned removing the following folder: NMS(or the one inside actually) under the path: %APPDATA%\HelloGames\NMS
. If you cannot find folder AppData, just type it in the bar and the continuation will apear. This worked for me and I got to the tutorial from the beginning of the game.
Hope this helps.
